      Wanna know something?   Today at work Didda in Dispatch told me about a girlfriend of hers who´d just met a guy who´d recently divorced his wife.  I really found quite amazing its resemblance to the treatment that you had to go through in your divorce. 

       His ex used to hang out all the time enjoying herself, and therefore he had to be with their children every evening and the weekends too, when he wasn´t out working for their bread.  

       She was always on the drink and didn´t ever think about her children, didn´t even tolerate them. 

       And then she was always cheating on her husband with one and any other.  

        Of course he found it absolutely intolerable and requested a divorce, but for the reason that usually the wives get a better treatment in divorce-cases, she got the children and therefore the guy´s having nightmares with worries about the children.

 

B:

       Wow, obviously I´m not the only one going through such a disaster.  I do believe that women don´t behave this  way as often, for the guys usually have more opportunities to go wherever they wish.  One hears such tales of men more often, but obviously anything goes doesn´t it. 

       Do you know who´s the man?

 

A:

      No, she didn´t inform me about their names, but her girlfriend's extremely happy having met this new man  because her last boyfriend happened to be such an asshole who treated her in an awful way. 

       This one´s supposed to be something else making her quite happy and to top it they´re thinking about buying an appartment together, thus enabling them to have his children with them.  

       They are still quite small and Didda´s girlfriend really is eager to have them for she´s always longed for a child.

 

B:

       I really would have wanted to meet a guy like him, who'd gone through a similar experience as myself. 

       Eventhough one wouldn´t be looking for more babies.

 

A:

       Yes, I´ll just have to ask Didda who he is, eventhough it  wouldn´t be for any other reason but to know.  Perhabs I´ll discover that I really know who he is and who's the mother of his children.

                                  - - - - - -       

           Same women a few days later.

A:

      Well, do I have news for you, please fasten your seatbelts, for you´d never had guessed what Didda told me. 

 

B:

        I´m all ears, what did he tell you?  Has her girlfriend stopped seeing this guy?  

 

A:

       No that I haven´t heard yet, but supposedly it will happen soon. 

 

B:

       Hurry up, please tell me what she said.

A:

      Well, I finally asked Didda yesterday about who they were just for the reason we had been  chatting about them and  comparing their divorce with yours, realizing how similar they happened to be, except that in theirs it was the other way around, there it was the wife who was the asshole and she told me their names and guess what? 

        Their name´s are Kalli and Katla.

 

B:

      Ha, What´s that, Kalli and Katla.

       What´s he doing..... lieing about me like that.

       He´s a rotten devil.  Of course I knew he was a liar, but this...

       That bloody jerk!

       He´s saying it´s all my fault that fool of a man. 

 

A:

      Ye can you believe it?  I was absolutely gaping and told her your name and that it all fitted.  All the names fitted and she´s going to tell Katla about what I told her.

 

B:

      I don´t get it, how could he do it.  It just shows that 

he´s awear of his wrongdoing.   I'd started believing that  he didn´t understand it for he´s so awfully dumb. Of course he couldn´t have told the truth, because then he´d never had found another woman.  

 

A:

      Didda believes that Katla will run him away when she hears about his adultery.

 

B:

      That´s only fair.  He´s been aiming at it and then he´ll return to his father´s...       It sure´s fine that she´ll get rid of him, so she won´t have to go through such Hell like I did.

      It´s not obvious that she´ll believe his story for he´s so awfully convincing and lies so easily.  His lying ability has often helped him for a short while, but it always hits him in the end.  

       But perhabs it would be best for her to know the truth for the reason she´s been having an affair with a married man, she was awear of it all the time.  

  It´s supposedly not good to trust a man who starts a relationship with lies and adultery.
