Next Year, for Sure

Next Year, for Sure
by Zoey Leigh Peterson

Kathryn and Chris have been together for nine years, when Chris mentions an interest in another woman.  Kathryn encourages Chris to go out on a date with Emily and it escalates from there.

Why would Kathryn encourage her boyfriend to go on a date with someone else?  Does she feel her relationship is so solid with Chris that even if he goes on a date, or a couple of dates, or it turns into a fling, that their relationship will be fine?  It seemed a little crazy.

Kathryn tries to pretend she's cool with it, but it does bother her to see Chris dating Emily.

I kept reading to see where this crazy idea was going to end up.  The ending wasn't too surprising.  Chris is an idiot.
