At Christmas dinner, one of my friends told this story where she basically intimated that her male neighbor, who is married, must be cheating because she saw him hanging out with a female while his wife was out of town. I tried to explain that married people can have friends of the opposite gender (or at least I do), but she didn't want to hear it. She'd made up her mind (by the way, she's not married). The conversation has bothered me for days. Now this comic strip makes me feel even angrier. Val doesn't have to get married if she doesn't want to, and if she does, she can certainly talk to Phil about it. Ugh.balyienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785839636620293326noreply@blogger.com
