A newly married couple was snuggled up in bed when the husband asked his wife a question that would change the mood of the evening. “How many men have you slept with?” he asked, expecting a straightforward answer.
However, his wife remained silent, staring at the ceiling as if trying to avoid the question altogether. The husband, thinking he had upset her, asked again, “Just tell me, it’s fine. How many men have you slept with?” Still, there was no response from his wife.
Feeling guilty for asking, the husband apologized, “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I just thought we could trust each other…” But the silence from his wife continued.
Assuming he had made a mistake, the husband tried to make amends by showering his wife with affection, hugging and kissing her. Just as he thought he had smoothed things over, his wife suddenly snapped out of her silence, looked him straight in the eye, and said, “Damn it! You made me lose count!”
