We got into a really big argument, which isn’t unusual for us these days. We’ve been on the verge of divorce multiple times but always end up changing our minds.

This time, she got so mad that she yelled at the top of her lungs “She’s not even your daughter, and he was a better fuck too!” “She” being our daughter, of course.
