“You are not in a unique situation. Men have been doing this type of bullshit forever. I’m the lady wife that the gentleman husband can’t ‘fuck’ because that’s always reserved for the mistress. Wives are for homemaking, baby-making, and lovemaking in a safe, passionless missionary position, right? The mistresses get all the dark and seedy goods. You’re nothing but an antiquated cliché, Drew.”

You put my pain on display to be mocked by others. There isn’t a way for you to make that right.”
