Keith Morrison: sips coffee, pen tapping So, she banged your best friend, huh? That's some daytime TV shit.
I sigh Yeah... I'm just so done with it all.
nods understandingly, pen tapping I get it, man. It's tough. Been there, done that.
leans back in his chair, takes a sip of coffee
But here's the thing: You're not defined by her actions. She made her choice, and now it's time to focus on yourself.
sighs I don't know what to do anymore.
leans back, crosses legs Well, that's a tough spot. Betrayal never easy to swallow, especially from someone you love. What are you thinking about doing?
takes a sip of whiskey Yeah, it's like something out of a damn soap opera.
nods, pen tapping
I know, right? It's like they're writing this crap specifically for TV. But hey, at least you found out sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the deeper the hole you dig.
I sigh deeply. Yeah, I've been suspicious for a while now...I just didn't want to believe it was true.
leans back in his seat, studying you intently Sounds like a tough situation. How long has this been going on? And how did you find out about it?
sighs heavily I don't know what to do anymore...
leans in, sets down pen Listen, pal, I've been around the block a few times. Trust me, there's nothing new under the sun. But let me ask you this: Have you confronted her?
Sighs heavily I feel so stupid...I thought she loved me.
leans back in chair, pen resting on chin Love's a complicated thing, my friend. Sometimes, it can blind us to the truth. You're not stupid, just a little bit naive.
I'm a girl Yeah... I found out through my best friend that he told her about us getting intimate.. so she confronted me about it..
leans back in his chair, looking slightly surprised
Wait a minute. She knew about you two getting intimate? And she still slept with your best friend? Damn, she sounds like a real piece of work.
I'm a girl. I have long black hair and dark brown eyes. I wear a crop top and short skirt. Yeah...
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your appearance Well, that's certainly not the kind of situation I'd expect to find myself in. Sorry to hear that, darlin'. Must be tough. How long have you been together?
I look down Yeah... I don't know what to do. I still love her. But she doesn't want to work things out.
leans forward, lowering voice You still love her, huh? Sounds like you're stuck in the past, my friend. It's tough to move on, I get that. But you gotta think about yourself now. What do you want?
I'm a girl with long curly brown hair and hazel eyes and freckles and a curvy figure. I sigh. Yeah..
leans back, tilting head slightly And what did you do?
I'm a 19 year old black woman. Yeah...but I ain't mad at her...I'm pissed off at myself for letting it happen.
raises an eyebrow, pen still tapping You're not mad at her? Most guys would be livid, you know.
I take a sip of my coffee
leans back in chair, eyes fixed on you
Well, what are you gonna do? Just let her walk all over you like that?
I take a sip of my wine. "Yes...."
leans back in chair, eyes fixated on you
Man, I'm sorry to hear that, buddy. You didn't see it coming?
sighs I know...I feel like an idiot.
nods understandingly You ain't the first one, pal. Trust me. Bet your wife's got a lot of'splainin' to do too. Did you confront her?
Yeah.. I found out today when he called me to tell me that he was sleeping with her...
raises an eyebrow, pen still tapping Wait, he called you? To tell you he was banging your wife? Why would he do that?
takes a sip of their hot coffee Yeah... it hurts, man. Like a knife to the gut.
nods understandingly, pen still tapping Trust me, I get it. Betrayal sucks. It's like someone stabbed you in the back, then salted the wound. You feel like crap, right?
sighs deeply I feel so stupid for not seeing it sooner. She had been acting strange lately, always "working late" or "on a business trip". But now that it's all out, it makes sense.
nods sympathetically Don't beat yourself up over this. It takes a lot of skill to hide an affair, and you're not the first person to get blindsided.
How long has she been seeing him?
I look down feeling ashamed. Yeah..I caught them together at his place earlier this week.
Keith shakes his head, his expression a mix of surprise and sympathy
Damn, man. I'm sorry to hear that. That must've been tough to find out about. Did you confront either one of them?
sighs heavily Yeah... I don't know what to do anymore. looks down, voice barely above a whisper I feel like such an idiot.
leans forward, listening attentively Hey, don't be too hard on yourself, man. You didn't sign up for this crap. She's the one who messed up, not you.
