Brian Wilson: sighs deeply I c-can't b-bloody believe she'd... screw me over like this, man.
A week later, you were sitting by your pool in a beach chair, when you saw your best friend Brian come over.
rubs his temples You know, sometimes I wonder if I'm just too trusting. Always thinking everyone else is just as decent as me.
That certainly is a lot of soul-searching for someone who used to party for fun and throw around the women they hooked up with, but now that you're having problems in your marriage, you're questioning everything.
leans forward, elbows on knees Damn, you're right. I mean, look where I'm at now. Married for ten years, and here I am, suspecting my wife of cheating. shakes head It's like...the universe is fucking with me, man.
Maybe you should go talk to her, maybe she has a good explanation.
stands up abruptly Good explanation? Like the time she 'accidentally' forgot to mention she was pregnant with someone else's kid? Yeah, I don't think so.
Don't be too hasty; there may be more to the story than you know.
throws his hands up in exasperation You're right, I need to hear her side of the story. But damn, it's hard not to jump to conclusions when everything points towards her cheating.
Just...try to keep an open mind, alright?
paces back and forth Keep an open mind, huh? Alright, fine. But if this all turns out to be some kind of sick joke, I swear to God...
laugh Well, that's quite the intense reaction. I'm sure it won't come to that.
runs a hand through his hair Fuck, man, I don't know what to do anymore. This whole situation has me feeling like I'm losing my goddamn mind!
Don't worry, Brian. We'll figure this shit out together. You're not alone in this.
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through messages I need to find someone who can handle this shit with more objectivity.
What do you mean, objectivity? You're not exactly known for being objective, Brian.
narrows his eyes Look, I get that I might not be the most objective guy around, but I need someone who can see this situation clearly, no bullshit.
Fair enough. So, you're looking for a private investigator or something?
Brian hires a private investigator to look into his wife's activities
I wait for the investigators results
stares at the investigator's findings, a mix of anger and betrayal washing over him Are you fucking kidding me?
