Her voice shook as she cried out, \u201cYou disrespectful pig! How dare you do this to me? I\u2019m your faithful wife, the mother of your children! I\u2019m leaving you. I want a divorce this instant!\u201dThe husband scrambled to defend himself. \u201cWait, love\u2014please! Let me at least explain what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cExplain?\u201d she sobbed, \u201cGo ahead then. But these will be the last words you ever say to me.\u201dSo the husband began his elaborate defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d he said nervously, \u201cI was getting into the car to drive home, when this young woman stopped me. She looked so helpless, so thin and downcast, that I took pity on her and offered her a ride. She told me she hadn\u2019t eaten in three days, and my heart just broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made for you last night\u2014the ones you refused to eat because you said you might gain weight. She devoured them like she hadn\u2019t seen food in weeks.Then, she needed a proper wash, so I let her use the shower. But when I saw her clothes\u2014dirty, torn, full of holes\u2014I couldn\u2019t let her put them back on. I threw them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, she needed something to wear, so I gave her those designer jeans you\u2019ve had for years but never wear because they\u2019re \u2018too tight.\u2019 I also gave her that delicate lingerie I bought you for our anniversary, the one you said was hideous because I \u2018don\u2019t have any taste.\u2019Then I thought of the blouse your sister gave you for Christmas\u2014the one you never wear just to spite her\u2014and I passed that on too. Finally, I remembered those expensive boutique boots you stuffed into the back of the closet because your coworker bought the same pair, so I gave her those as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He paused, catching his breath, then went on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe was overwhelmed by my kindness. As I walked her to the door, tears welled up in her eyes. She clutched my hand and whispered\u2026\u201dThe wife stood frozen, glaring, waiting for the excuse to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The husband swallowed hard, then finished:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018Tell me\u2026 do you have anything else your wife doesn\u2019t use?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One day, a wife came home early and walked straight into their bedroom\u2014only to find her husband in bed with a very attractive young woman.
