Abstract

s about the life you will have once the old battle-ax is gone. I enjoyed reading the long text chains from the side chick to my then-husband. I was the bad guy with my neglect and misunderstanding of the poor baby. I have one suggestion: to save time, maybe you could recycle some of the current wife’s old texts; I’m betting they are all the same.”</p><h2 id="fe2f">Been There, Done That</h2><p id="d788">Kate was causing a scene over a man who was no longer hers, she turned on her heel and left the area. She looked around for her ex’s car as she left the restaurant; Kate still had her key to his car. Kate’s date had bolted like a spooked deer as soon as she emptied the ice bucket into his lap. Oh, well. There it is; she found his car, got in it, and drove to his new home.</p><p id="ac9d" type="7">Kate said, “The look on her face matched mine when I found out about her. I’ll admit it felt good to tell her she was already being replaced…”</p><p id="e93b">When she got there, Kate knocked on the door. When his new life companion answered the door, she handed her the keys to his car. Kate said, “Hey, your husband has filled your old position of side chick with a fresh recruit. They are at Positano’s Ristorante. I’m sure you know the place. I used to see it on his credit card receipts all the time. They will need a ride home.

It Can’t Be

Kate was seven months divorced when she spotted her ex-spouse at a romantic restaurant with a woman — not the one who replaced her. It was amazing. He was feeding the new “other woman” and staring intensely into her eyes. Twice he reached and picked up her hand to kiss it. Kate recognized the moves, all of them familiar to her. Her marriage had lasted three years. He had remarried three months after their divorce, and now, four months after his honeymoon, he was cheating. Was he trying to break some world land speed record for cheating?

Impulsively, she picked up an ice bucket, walked over to his table, and dumped it in his lap. The woman with him gasped. Kate said, “Relax, I’m the ex-wife, not the current wife, but I’m pissed that within a year, this dude cheated on me with her. Now he has enlisted you to cheat on her. It is as if he cheated on me twice.”

Kate continued, “Being the side chick is a much better position than the wife. You know how to play the part, don’t you? Sneak around and make passionate love when you can. Spend your holidays tearfully alone. Write heart-wrenching secret texts about the life you will have once the old battle-ax is gone. I enjoyed reading the long text chains from the side chick to my then-husband. I was the bad guy with my neglect and misunderstanding of the poor baby. I have one suggestion: to save time, maybe you could recycle some of the current wife’s old texts; I’m betting they are all the same.”

Been There, Done That

Kate was causing a scene over a man who was no longer hers, she turned on her heel and left the area. She looked around for her ex’s car as she left the restaurant; Kate still had her key to his car. Kate’s date had bolted like a spooked deer as soon as she emptied the ice bucket into his lap. Oh, well. There it is; she found his car, got in it, and drove to his new home.

Kate said, “The look on her face matched mine when I found out about her. I’ll admit it felt good to tell her she was already being replaced…”

When she got there, Kate knocked on the door. When his new life companion answered the door, she handed her the keys to his car. Kate said, “Hey, your husband has filled your old position of side chick with a fresh recruit. They are at Positano’s Ristorante. I’m sure you know the place. I used to see it on his credit card receipts all the time. They will need a ride home. I’m certain he told you he was having dinner with a client. He said it was a male client; oh well? Been there, done that. Good evening.” As she turned to leave, her Uber pulled into the driveway.

Then Kate wondered, “If she is unsuccessful in saving her marriage, will the next new wife use two collapsed marriages to build on? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to see what happens.” We all laughed. We couldn't wait either.
