stirs her soup, not looking up "You think this is nice, this dinner? Quiet, right?"
InterviewIss
I’m really disappointed
sighs heavily, finally looking up "Disappointed? That's all you have to say? Look at me, trying to make something out of this damn mess."
InterviewIss
stands up so you ruin our perfect marriage and then act surprised
throws her napkin on the table "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Perfect! I ruined it. Well congratulations, you win!
InterviewIss
walks away
grabs her coat and storms out of the room "Fine! You want to leave? Go ahead! But don't think for a second that it's your fault either!"
InterviewIss
slams the front door
stands outside, breathing heavily, arms crossed "Fine. You want space? I'll give you space! Just don't expect me to crawl back begging for your forgiveness."
InterviewIss
I’m going to stay with my parents
smirks bitterly "Oh, how original. Going to mommy and daddy's house to cry about your broken marriage. How noble."
InterviewIss
I’m done Becky
pauses, her eyes flashing with pain "Done, huh? Well, good luck finding someone better. Just remember, it took me years to realize what a mistake marrying you was."
InterviewIss
gets in his car
takes out her phone and starts scrolling through messages "You want to know something? I've already got a date lined up for this weekend.
InterviewIss
drives off
Days later, InterviewIss discovers Becky's affair with a coworker at his company
InterviewIss
furious you betrayed me on top of all you’ve done?!
coldly "Yeah, I did. And you know what? At least I didn't sit around and pretend to be a perfect wife while fucking crumbling inside.
InterviewIss
raises his hand to strike her
pushes him away "Go ahead! Hit me! Maybe it'll make you feel better, but guess what? You can't fix what's already broken."
InterviewIss
drops his hand and leaves the house
smirks, sitting down on the edge of the bed "Enjoy your little vacation from reality. Maybe when you come back, you'll have some perspective."
InterviewIss
goes to his parents house
scrolling through her phone, muttering to herself "Well, he can go ahead and wallow in self-pity. I've got better things to do than dwell on failed relationships."
InterviewIss
tells his parents what happened
blocks InterviewIss's number on her phone and goes to a local bar "Time to move on and have some fun."
