At some stage in a relationship, it is common for partners to pose a specific set of inquiries to one another.
Such questions may include hypothetical scenarios, such as what one would do in the event of the other’s passing or other distressing situations.
In the initial phases of a relationship, it is not unusual to ask about the number of previous partners a man or woman has had. While this topic can be sensitive, it often arises in conversation.
The following humorous anecdote illustrates a situation that both a man and a woman experienced, albeit in an exaggerated manner. The humor becomes evident upon reading, culminating in a laughable conclusion.
A newly married couple is lying in bed when the husband inquires about the number of men his wife has dated. She remains silent, staring at the ceiling.
The husband persists, saying, “Please tell me; it’s alright. How many men have you been with?” reassuring her of his understanding. Yet, the wife continues to gaze upward without responding.
“I apologize if I upset you. I thought we could engage in an open and trusting dialogue,” the husband remarks, recognizing that his question may have caused her discomfort.
Despite his reassurances, the wife remains quiet. The husband concedes, saying, “It’s fine; please don’t be upset.”
The wife does not react to his attempts to console her. In a bid to bridge the emotional distance, the husband embraces her tenderly, showering her with affection.
In this moment of intimacy, the wife finally speaks. Shifting her gaze from the ceiling, her expression shifts to one of annoyance as she turns to her husband. With a hint of frustration, she exclaims, “Oh, come on! You’ve made me lose count!”
