I got home around 7 p.m. My husband would usually be home by this time, but this time the apartment was empty.
The kids were with their mother, so I wasn’t in a hurry. I just wanted to eat something, relax, and go to bed early.
My husband probably wouldn’t be home until after midnight, like he had been for the past few months. Honestly, I wasn’t really interested in what he was doing anymore.
But suddenly the phone rang. His name appeared on the screen. I answered, and he immediately started talking:
—You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been coming home late lately. Actually, I have another wife. Please don’t make a scene.
My husband quits me for another, why?
I raised an eyebrow, without any anger or surprise.
—Honestly, I wouldn’t have expected that from you. You know I have a hair appointment tomorrow and that you should take the kids. Why didn’t you tell me tomorrow? I replied, hiding my annoyance.
He remained silent, obviously confused and unable to understand why I wasn’t upset.
—Listen, I just want to eat. Do you know where the mayonnaise is?
—Don’t you even ask me who she is or why I left? Doesn’t that interest you at all? Don’t you want me to come back? Don’t you love me anymore?
I thought for a moment before answering:
—Honestly, I don’t care who she is or why you left. Those are your problems. Did you take the mayonnaise to give to your lover?
He couldn’t believe it:
—What a woman you are! Your husband is leaving you, and you’re asking for mayonnaise?—he said, and I thought it was time to end this conversation.
