If This Is The Worst Part Of Your Divorce…
Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Denmark, Exes/Old Flames, home, Silly, Spouses & Partners | Romantic | April 20, 2019
(My live-in boyfriend of two years is currently married to another woman, and has been so for seven years. She knows about me and vice versa, as we are all polyamorous. After a peaceful but distant period of time, they have decided to divorce, as they no longer have a romantic interest in each other. He tells me about this, obviously feeling down but resigned about the decision, and I offer as much emotional comfort as I’m able to, after which I make a somewhat callous comment.)
Boyfriend: “Now I’m just happy to be back home, so I can just sit on the couch and watch Last Week Tonight.”
(It’s a favourite of his. This is where I suddenly realise something important)
Me: “Oh, no… “
Boyfriend: “What’s wrong?”
Me: *full-on nervous giggling* “You’re either going to laugh or get mad at me.”
Boyfriend: *getting worried* “Okay, what is it?”
Me: “Can we still use your wife’s HBO account?”
(Luckily, he found it hilarious, and at least my total lack of tact led to a full-on belly laugh on an otherwise gloomy day!)
