I have slaved over a hot stove and cleaned the whole house from top to bottom every single day we have been married! I have never asked him for much. I have always stayed loyal and true blue to him! I love my husband to the very core. But now, I feel like my heart’s been ripped out, stepped on, and shot at many times.

Other Woman: Let me explain myself. The past few weeks have been hell for me. I got laid off from my job, my father died last week, and my boyfriend just left me. So I went to the bar to drown my sorrows. Then, your husband came up to me and told me I was beautiful. He even bought me a drink. He made himself appear to be single. If I knew he was taken, I would've said no. So, please don't take your anger out on me. I am an innocent bystander. I am so sorry! I really am!

 

[The wife looks up at her in tears]

 

Wife: [Sobs] You really mean it?

 

[Other woman turns to the husband]

 

Other Woman: How could you lie to your wife and me?

 

[The husband just shrugs]

 

Other Woman: You haven’t just hurt your wife. You’ve hurt me as well! I can’t believe this! Men are such pigs!

 

Wife: I know.

 

[Both women go quiet. Wife runs out the room in tears. The other woman gets out of bed, gets dressed, and goes after the other woman]
