My Wife's New Faith (Hypnosis, Magic)

I suppose some background info is needed... Hi my name is John and I am an alcoholic... Not really, but I couldn't resist the AA joke. My name is John and I met Jill seven years ago in college, we graduated early and married at age 20 each, I went to work coding for a video game developer, she went to work in a legal firm working on their website. Two and half years ago, the Game Studio I worked at got bought out and me along with a bunch of staff got laid off. I had already networked and written enough software in those years to get a rep as a fixer and went free lance. Within 6 months I had made enough freelance to get us our own house. However, a year ago, things started going down hill, the senior partners in the Law Firm my wife was working for were killed in a DUI while on their way to a courthouse to defend a rich guy on DUI charges, ironically, and the firm folded leaving Jill unemployed. Since she had found a nice little niche job, it was hard for her to find freelance work despite knowing websites left right and center. That is when the trouble started. The stress on both of use started to build as a good chunk of our monthly income vanished. It didn't help that that was in the middle of the lockdowns and we were stuck together with no one else to talk to most days. Finally, an old friend got Jill a job interview at a company she worked at about four months ago. Since then I tried to patch things up with her, but she held grudges from some of our fights.

That is when she stopped coming home until supper late some nights. At first she told me that she had been invited to go to the gym and then to a ladies dinner with some of her coworkers after work... then it became every Tuesday, Thursday nights and Saturday morning that she would disappear. After a few weeks of this, I started to suspect that my wife was cheating on me. It wasn't just the three times a week. She bought new clothes and seemed to get new jewelry as 'gifts' and never spoke about where she was getting them from, and on top of that she seemed less and less interested in me even when I tried to be close towards her, especially when I was trying to be romantic towards her.

After a month of this, I used the family finding feature on her phone to stalk her and even sent some of my friends to check the locations she was out. She was in fact going to a Gym, going to a public park for a sit down and talk for about a half hour then going to a Greek restaurant with about forty other women. One Thursday I got a few guys I know from my old job to join me at the Greek restaurant about a half an hour before the women were supposed to show up. I wasn't sure what her response would be, but she came over with three friends from work and introduced them and expected me to introduce the guys to her friends. She was smiles and surprised to see us. She even recommended a few dishes and when she realized we had already ordered, she recommended deserts.

Later, after we got home, she smiled and me and asked if I liked Greek food.

I lied and stated that one of my buddies lived right near by and he recommended the place.

Last Sunday, Jill came to me and asked me to sit down.

I figured that that was when she would ask for the divorce, it was clear that she had been struggling with a decision and finally made a choice.

Instead she told me about how she had joined a religious group. The women had helped her find the job, they meet to go to the gym, do prayers in the park and then have a meal together. Over the last few months she had improved, her stress had gone down, she saw things with clarity and was losing weight and getting stronger. I said that I had noticed she was losing weight, but I had been unsure how to say anything without hurting her feelings after the fights. That made Jill look away from me. She turned back and looked me in the eye and stated that she felt a bit guilty, because a number of the sisters had told her to leave me since I wasn't a member of the faith. Before I could say anything, she told me that the leaders had rebuked those sisters and told her to be a faithful wife. She apologized for letting those sister's words haunt her and mess with her when we tried to be romantic together.

I know I was always told to never hit a woman, but I wanted to run those bitches over with a bulldozer!

Jill put her hands on mine, she read me like a book. Jill assured me that she had never cheated on me and wanted to stay my wife. She had invited two of the Mothers to come have dinner with us that Monday night to speak with me and discuss giving us their blessing.

That should have set off all sorts of red flags, but frankly, Jill interrupted any objections by kissing me and then taking off her shirt.
