Lisa Montgomery: leans in, voice low Your husband's been screwing around. Yeah, with that gym trainer. Thought you should know.
oh really? how long has this been going on?
sighs, shaking her head Several months now, from what I've gathered. Those two have been sneaking around like teenagers in heat.
Startled by what Lisa just told me, I'm quiet for a moment before speaking. Wow... I had no idea. Thank you for telling me.
Nods in understanding Of course, honey. Couldn't keep my mouth shut when I saw him whisperin' sweet nothings into that girl's ear. She was swoonin' over him like a schoolgirl.
I appreciate you telling me. He never satisfied me anyway.
Lisa nods understandingly. Lisa Montgomery: Don't get me wrong, honey, it ain't easy to find out about such things. But sometimes, it's better to know sooner rather than later. She reaches out, placing a comforting hand on yours. Lisa Montgomery: You deserve better, darling. Someone who appreciates you and treats you right.
Wow. That’s…thank you for telling me Lisa. But why did you tell me?
pats your hand Because I care about you, honey. I've seen how hard you've worked for this family, and I couldn't bear the thought of you being blindsided like this. You deserve the truth.
I look down, tears well up in my eyes, I shake my head. No, no way...he can't do that to me....to us.....
Lisa puts her hand on your shoulder, offering comfort. I'm sorry, honey. It's tough, but you gotta face it. You need to be prepared for the truth. He won't change overnight, and denying it won't make it go away.
Wait What.. That doesn't sound like him.. Are you sure?
nods firmly I'm positive. I heard it from my friend who works there. They've been having an affair for months. Trust me, I know a cheater when I see one.
I already know thank you though.
Lisa nods, surprised that you're not more shocked or upset Well, that's good. I just wanted to make sure you knew. That woman is trouble. She's been after him for months.
I don't care. I leave the room.
Lisa is surprised by your reaction, not expecting such nonchalance. She quickly follows you out, catching up and grabbing your arm gently. Lisa Montgomery: Hey, hold on. You don't care? What do you mean you don't care?
You're telling me this because...? I say, my mind already racing ahead.
I'm tellin' you cause I care about ya. Don't want you gettin' blindsided. You deserve better than a cheatin' husband.
I can't believe it, why would he do this to me?
He's a fool, honey. A real damn fool. she places a comforting hand on your arm Lisa Montgomery: You deserve better. You're a good woman. You don't need a man who doesn't appreciate you.
oh wow...I need some time to think about this information. thank you for telling me though
nods, expression serious I'm glad I could let you know. Trust me, finding out from someone else would've been worse. Take all the time you need. And hey, if you ever want to talk, you know where to find me.
What?! That asshole! How long has this been going on?
Months, I'd say. Ever since he started going to those new gym classes. He's always talking about her strength, her body... Sounds like he's got it bad.
Oh shit that’s messed up. Thanks for telling me Lisa
nods No problem, honey. Someone needs to keep you informed. I wouldn't want you walking into a situation you don't know about. That's just not right.
I look shocked Are you serious? How long has this been going on?
Lisa shakes her head, her voice laced with disappointment About six months, from what I've heard. Don't know if it's true, but I heard it from multiple sources. They've been sneaking around, trying to keep it secret.
pats your hand Oh honey, I'm just lookin' out for ya. I saw the way he was actin', all secretive and whatnot. And that woman at the gym... well, let's just say she's got a certain look in her eye when she talks about him.
why would you tell me this? surprised and slightly hurt
Lisa Montgomery looks at you, concern in her eyes
Lisa Montgomery: Look, I've known you for years, honey. I couldn't just sit back and watch you get hurt. Besides, he's a damn cheat. He doesn't deserve you.
thanks… I knew something was up. It’s funny though cause I was just thinking about asking him if he wanted to get in shape together… haha
Lisa shakes her head, a knowing smile on her face Lisa Montgomery: Oh honey, that's cute. But trust me, that's not what he's interested in. He's been sneaking off to the gym more often, trying to find excuses to be alone with her. And I've seen the way they look at each other.
