In every relationship, there comes a time when certain tricky questions get asked. One of the most common, and often most dangerous, is about past romantic partners. It’s a conversation that can be filled with landmines, but it’s one many couples feel compelled to have. One couple’s attempt to have this honest discussion took a hilarious turn that no one saw coming.
A newly married couple was lying in bed one night when the husband decided it was time for total honesty. He turned to his wife and asked her how many men she had been with before him. His wife didn’t answer. She just lay there silently, staring intently at the ceiling. The husband, thinking she was upset or hiding something, tried to reassure her. He told her it was okay, that he could handle it, and that he just wanted them to have a completely open and trusting relationship.
But no matter how sweetly he pleaded, his wife remained completely silent, her eyes never leaving the ceiling. He finally gave up, apologizing for making her uncomfortable and asking her not to be mad. He even pulled her in for a comforting hug and a tender kiss. It was only then that his wife finally broke her silence. She turned to him with a look of pure frustration and exclaimed, “Oh, come on! You’ve made me lose count!” The husband’s worry about her past had completely interrupted her very different train of thought, leading to a punchline that turns a moment of tension into pure comedy.
