In the case of my friend, it becomes an arrangement.
A week before my friend and her husband were to move their whole family to South America, she caught him cheating with their babysitter. Apparently it had gone on for a while.
Thing is, the husband’s new job in South America could afford them a mansion, and nannies, and a maid. What’s more, my friend would never have to work again, the kids could go to excellent international schools, and they had two free trips a year back to the states.
A week later, as scheduled, they boarded the plane for this new life.
My friend decided that turning a blind eye to his indiscretions was a price worth paying for her new life.
I hear he has a very attractive secretary now.
