Feb 2021

My ex wife used to talk in her sleep. (A lot) She would be having a conversation with someone, so I just started talking to her back and forth, as if I was the person she was conversing with. I was able to keep the conversation going, sometimes for over five minutes.

At some point, she would wake up and she would get superbly pissed that I was doing that with her.

One night I figured out that the person she was conversing with was a guy with whom she was having an affair, based on her sleep talking. I also figured out, from the conversation, who the person was that she was screwing....

And that is why she's my ex.........along with one of MY best friends......
