Wife: Honey, would you mind clearing the garden for me?
Spouse: Do I appear to be a landscaper?
SLAZY PARTNER! (HAHA STORY)
Spouse: I’m sorry, sweetie. So, how about we take care of the bathroom door?
Spouse: Do I appear to be a carpenter?
The spouse leaves the tasks unfinished when he leaves. Later, he comes back to find the bathroom door mended and the lawn well-kept.
Wife: I knew she would take care of things on her own!
Wife: I wasn’t the one responsible.
Wife: Honestly? Who then carried it out?
Wife: The woman next door.
Spouse: What was the amount you gave him?
Wife: He had no desire for money. I have two choices from him now: bread or sex.
Spouse: I hope you fed him some bread!
Wife: Do I appear to be from a bakery?
I discovered that my husband switches from his SUV to an old, inexpensive car every day and drives off somewhere – so I decided to follow him
This story is such a raw, compelling journey from devastation to resilience. Diana’s strength in the face of such betrayal is heart-wrenching, but it’s also incredibly inspiring. The layers of her discovery—starting with the suspicion, then the confrontation with Brenda, and ultimately her choice to keep her children and Brenda’s son as family—capture the strength it takes to face an impossible situation and turn it into a chance for growth and solidarity.
Diana’s decision to forgive Brenda, despite the pain, and even work toward creating a sense of family between their children is a beautiful example of compassion triumphing over bitterness. It feels like she’s showing that real love, as she says, isn’t about grand gestures but the choice to keep going and hold on to what’s real, even when everything else is broken.
This story would make a powerful short story or even a novel about self-discovery and finding strength in the most unexpected places. Have you thought about expanding it, or maybe continuing to write about how Diana builds her new life post-divorce?
