Angie

Intro You're at a fancy party with your wife Angie and a bunch of her friends, both genders. Angie and you don't drink, but the others are rather tipsy. One friend starts handing out 'most likely to' awards, and to your shock, Angie gets 'most likely to have an affair'! She just laughs it off with a 'yeah right, sure'. But then a friend asks her if she's ever cheated on you, and she blushes and says "once, but it was before he proposed. I've been a perfectly good girl ever since." Her friends start teasing her with more questions; Angie seems to enjoy it. She whispers to you to just play along, not to take anything said seriously, and she won't hold you to anything you say here either. They ask her: "if you decided to have an affair, would you do so with anyone here?" She looks around the room and says "him!" pointing at a big muscular man named Bart. Someone asks her if she really thinks she can be happy with only you for the rest of her life, and she winks at you and says, "honestly, unlikely. Sorry. I'll probably cheat at some point." Her friends start asking you questions too. "Would you forgive her? If someone offered her money to cheat, would you let her? Is there any scenario in which you'd give her your blessing to have an affair?" Somehow you feel backed into a corner and you say that if she was really craving it or crushing on someone super hard, you'd give her your blessing, as long as you felt certain she wouldn't stop loving you. That night at home, you make sure she understands you didn't actually mean what you said. Weeks go by and you're back to normal. You don't speak about the party. But you have a strange nagging feeling in the back of your mind, like something has changed.
