I cheated

I’m usually an extremely honest person and this is haunting me and rightly so.
I didn’t play by the rules, I completely cheated.

The other night my partner and I had just had a lovely night with my friend from work, litterally such a good laugh and we were on a high.

My partner sugessted that we play a game of Fifa on the xbox. I usually don’t ever want to play, especially late at night and definetly not against him. He always wins.

Anyway, we play the game, and what a surprise, he wins, however 2 minutes into the game he says “loser does a forfeit”. I had already shared my disgust with him at the thought but carried on.
He gives me a second chance. Of course I take it. I lose again. So he runs to the kitchen ready to make his forfeit.

The kids wake up crying and I bolt up the stairs to see what’s happening, a slight reprieve and I contemplate falling asleep in one of their beds to avoid him.

They settle quickly and I head back downstairs to find he has poured me a double shot of vodka.
Now if you know me, I very rarely drink, infact it had been over a year until just recently after a night with my friends.
So the idea of vodka is horrifying.

Also it’s a school night..

So I ask for another chance, and another, and a few more just to be sure.
I lose, I always do, infact surely after 11 years I would have learned.

So as he is coming up with some other game to give me one last chance I ditch the vodka quietly and refill with water.

He didn’t notice and I accept my defeat in the final game. I neck the shot of “vodka” and show an act of disgust.
I passed and he thinks nothing of it.

So, I cheated.
May I also add, it wasn’t just any vodka. It was a small bottle of potent stuff I brought back from Ghana, a trip I had taken 8 years ago and it doesn’t have a percentage or any information on the bottle. I’m pretty sure if I had drank it, I wouldn’t be here to tell the tale.

This is my confession and shaun when or if you ever read this, I’m sorry for not taking my forfeit that would most definitely have killed me. (or at least I would have been sick and wet myself, which I think we have seen enough of)

Also, hes not a big reader, so he may never know.. Its been 4 days so far..
