I Think About Having An Affair

I think I witnessed an affair this morning. Or maybe the end of one.

I was out unusually (for me) early this morning- around 5:30, so I stopped into Starbucks for some emergency caffeine. The only other cars around were a red pickup truck and a blue minivan. A man and a woman, both mid-thirties, leaned against the truck, buried deep, deep in conversation. I wouldn't have thought it was anything unusual until I noticed that he held his own coffee, while she was holding a tray with two cups on it.

I went in and got my own coffee, and when I came back out, they were face to face and very close. I loitered by the trash can as they kissed and embraced. He got into the truck and she got into the minivan. He drove away as she sat dabbing her eyes with a tissue.

I've never seen anything like that- felt like a scene in a sad movie. I hope the two of them find some peace, whatever that means to them.

I hope so too, Aww Topsy. Saying goodbye to such an emotional connection is truly heartbreaking, and at times, so unexpected. We tend to look for that happy ending,where love conqueres all and feeds our emotional void. People come into our lives without announcing themselves . They tend to have such an amazing effect on us that it leaves us wanting more, exploring this opportunity, we call chance.
We all crave and desire that one person who gives us a reason to smile, to laugh, to feel, and to love without boundaries and conditions. We all need that one person that will helps us brick by brick, bring our walls down and love us in our raw and bare form . It is sad when this comes to an end . Thank you for sharing . I wouldn't have missed it either. Moments like that are a reminder that love is an experience and whether it is meant to be ... Is not the question or the answer .. It is what was suppose to happen..
Nice to meet you
I just joined .
Love your thoughts and sensitivity

@Browneyedgirl, Nice to meet you, too, and welcome. ☺ I understand what you mean about needing emotional connections; it seems odd sometimes to think of that as a very prominent human [i]need[/i], but it's true. Whether these two were going through "normal" relationship drama or something bigger, there was no way I was going to judge them. We've all been there, and we'll all almost certainly be there again! The best we can do is try to be a little kinder.

Angelita- they could indeed be just a couple. I think my brain just connected some intangibles like the way they were standing, touching, etc. with the tangibles of two different cars, three cups of coffee, tearful goodbye... Just felt like a secret early morning rendezvous.

But like I said, I have an overactive imagination and this was very much pre-coffee for me. ☺
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@Stormy, but I've already had my coffee... tomorrow?
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
Champagne, thanks. It was an accidental intrusion, to be sure, and, as I mentioned in another comment, I could have wildly misinterpreted it. But even so, it was still a reminder that everyone is going through something. 😟

Wow. You stumbled upon an intimate moment, and I appreciate the compassion in which you tell the tale. I hope they find peace too. This hurts my heart for a few reasons.
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@Finding, it's amazing I could see so much before drinking coffee. Honestly, I could have misread the whole thing. My imagination... is not always helpful.

What if she/they had a particular rough evening...she is meeting a friend at the house OR going to a friends house for coffee but called hubby who has to work early and he said i will meet you at the coffee shop. They talk and everything is ok but she is just very emotional of the situation ( you know how those females can get.. LOL ) and he told her see you at home a bit later and have a good day.

Amazing how you can see so much without even trying, huh.
Enchanted · 56-60, F
Lol I get that over active imagination thing 😳

But still...my hub and I have times where we show up two dif cars..exchange words...or whatever...and yes maybe even some tears..so it's not unheard of.

Just sayin ;)
Enchanted · 56-60, F
I'm not sure where an affair comes to mind...couldn't they just be a couple having some issues?
Strictwifemom · 51-55, F
I thought that too!
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
Angelita, but do you bring a third cup of coffee home to someone? 😉

But you may be right. Still, it was a memorable scene.
Enchanted · 56-60, F
Maybe she was bringing him a coffee but he already picked one up 🤔

Lol I know we have given an eyeful too here and there haha...
black4white · 56-60, M
@AwwTopsy...yep.... btw...the tears were cuz they had to postpone the next "meeting" :-) is that better... LOL

Autopsy:that's okay,have cold coffee after tomorrow
DNJ4EVER · 56-60, F
Maybe the are having an affair ,they fought about something and made up with the kiss .Maybe the hotel room later that day or night .. Your assuming that it came to and end .So that tells me you don't wanna have an affair ,you are making this your excuse .
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
Sorry, DNJ4EVER, I'm a little confused... I'm not actually having an affair, nor do I want to. I just witnessed this little exchange and thought this would be the most likely group to share it. 🙂
DNJ4EVER · 56-60, F
Oh cause the tittle says i am thinking of having an affair SORRY :(
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
Oh, don't worry about it! 🙂 I just wasn't sure. I didn't see a group for "I witnessed an affair (maybe)" so I put it here. Sorry to be confusing! 😄
river52 · 70-79, M
so much of this in the world today......
StormyNights · 36-40, F
Let's have an affair autopsy
Sassyshooter · 41-45
This is very bittersweet ...right ?
VioletDreams · 36-40, F
sounds scandalous! lol
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@black4white, Totally better! lol 😁

And hey, I wasn't [i]hoping [/i]these people were cheating on their spouses or anything. I just noticed that something really felt "off" about how they were acting and my brain filled in some blanks. It just felt... affair-ish. 😉
black4white · 56-60, M
just kidding my friend :-)
Thehippienerd · 41-45, F
This is just, so sad.
black4white · 56-60, M
@AwwTopsy....so either you went back this morning for part 2 OR you are wondering if YOU were suppose to be the man in that scenario.... hmmmmm :-) hehehehe
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@River52, I would argue that it's been pretty prevalent throughout human history, sadly.
KayOss · 56-60, F
Would them having an affair and sharing a sad moment not be ok ?
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
I'm not trying to judge anyone. Whether or not it's ok is between them and their partners. I am sorry for their sadness, whatever the cause.
KayOss · 56-60, F
@AwwTopsy: yes , it would make me feel sad too
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@black4white, that is totally possible. But it's even more conjecture than my guess. ☺
AwwTopsy · 46-50, M
@black4white, Neither. Whatever their situation, they don't need me hanging around.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Fender bender?
