Yesterday, during work, I was putting beers away (bar back) and I over heard two men talking about their wives. I was of course being nosy so I can see what advice would be given, so one of the men said "all she does is drink red wine and lay in bed all day. I work my ass off and come home to a wife that doesn't do shit and treats me bad." Now in my head, I thought "I gotta hear the rest of this."

So I'm putting the beers away, and get this.....the man then says "so I decided to take matters into my own hands.....I'm going for marriage counseling." His friend then stated "that's great dude!" So the man who wants marriage counseling continued to talk and said "after marriage counseling, I know she'll change. Then I won't have to deal with the shit I'm going through right now"

After that I had to run to the kitchen and get some cups, but then I returned and started putting the dirty cups into dishwasher. The first man that was speaking before was done talking, but this time his friend was talking.

The friend said "Look, my ex wife was bad....very bad. That's why I divorced her, but trust me when I say, I believe this marriage counseling will work for you. My new wife isn't acting too well, I'm stuck working and taking care of the kids while she sleeps over her girlfriends house; which is our neighbor. But I know....I definitely know.....one day, she'll realize what she's doing and she'll change for the better."

When this man said that, i thought "wait what? She'll possibly change when the kids are all grown up and she realizes her own kids don't give a fuck about her. But even then....why is he dealing with this?"

Both men didn't even seem too drunk, and both shook their heads agreeing with each other; after that I had to help with something else. But I'm pretty sure that was the end of their conversation.

I just couldn't believe what I heard, I always read stories of guys not handling their shit; hearing it in person was different, I couldn't understand their logic and felt like butting in. Couldn't even laugh because I was in such disbelief, I'm used to seeing this type of shit on Reddit......not in person, Lmfao.
