i quess i asked the question wrong. let me put it this way - jealousy works.

i got a story. my wife bagged on our marriage for awhile. toxic friends, partying, who knows what with who, im not in love with you anymore. i got to the point where enough is enough, im getting a life without you, the whole nine yards they tell you to do. realized my wife wasnt all that and a bag of chips, and wasnt the only one interested in me.

so, we are at a party, toxic friend #1 flirts me up. no lie. i actually hate this chick for her divorced life is great bad attitude. but i'm not getting anything from my wife, so i didnt mind. drunk, she says to my wife who would be ignoring me otherwise. "your stupid someones gonna snatch him up quick." I have never seen such a burnt look on my wife's face.
