“I’m going to replace you,” my wife told me.
“What are you talking about?” I said.
She tossed my suitcase onto our bed.
“You heard me.”
Not, we’ve got to work things out. Not, I’m seeing another man. She said it as if I were a dishwasher.
“I’ve outgrown you,” she said. “I’m ready for someone new.”
“You’ve just replaced the dining room table, your car, and the dog.”
“Yes.”
“So haven’t I given you everything you’ve ever asked for?” I said.
“Yes,” she said. “Please don’t stop now.”
