Marcus explained that Greg had approached him with a strange proposal weeks earlier. He claimed that exchanging partners would give both husbands an opportunity to understand whether their wives were truly satisfied. But Marcus suspected Greg had already developed feelings for Lydia and wanted an excuse to spend time with her without appearing unfaithful.
Then Marcus revealed something even more shocking. Greg had suggested that after the experiment, he and Lydia might move into a new apartment together. Marcus had refused to believe him until he found a rental agreement hidden among their household documents. I realized the exchange wasn’t an experiment. It was Greg’s carefully disguised exit plan.
