Male Character From Previous Post: Oh! I'm feeling so much better now that the war is almost over and also, I have some honesty in my relationship! Also, nobody in this plot thread has the flu yet, yay!

Me: Honesty is great. I'm sure as long as you and your wife stop lying and keeping secrets from each other you'll be fine. I mean, ffs, what have the two of you even been doing? It's a mutual marriage of convenience. You don't have anything to hide from each other. Also, when the whole point of your marriage is for both of you to lend some respectability to the other it really can only work if you talk to each other openly and honestly. You have got to be partners. So glad you're figuring this out!

MC: Listen, Boyfriend, you wanna move in with me?

Boyfriend: Oh, you don't plan on living with your wife?

MC: I mean with both of us and our kids.

Me: Wait, what? Why are you asking him before you ask her?

Boyfriend: And she's going to be okay with this? Did she say she's okay with this?

MC: Not in so many words, but she did say she wants to put my happiness first. She'll be thrilled! (This line is close to verbatim, guys. I can't make more fun of it than the writers already did.)

Me: What did I just say to you about talking to each other!? I mean, you might very well be right, she might actually be happy with this arrangement, but not if you don't ask her directly! Yes, in so many words! You have to actually use your words to talk to her! Have you even told her that you're hooking up with this man in every closet and corner you can find?

Can you believe this dude called her selfish? I mean, yeah, I've been listening my way through this show for the entirety of WWI and he is not wrong, but buddy, have you looked in a mirror lately? Your wife is not the only selfish person in the relationship.

Hah, I said that this time 'round I'm mostly able to stay awake

and then I proceeded to sleep pretty much the entire day. There wasn't that much to do while remaining semi-reclined on my bed, after all - the pain peaked every time I stood for an extended period, even just while going to the bathroom. Sleep was better than dwelling on the thought that if I died of a sudden stroke, at least my head wouldn't hurt anymore. But it's doing better now. Better is a relative term, still, I can type! While upright!

Still feel sleepy, and am still uneasy that this might be covid + an unrelated dental condition. But I can't exactly go to the dentist and expose him to covid - he opened his practice the same year I was born. He's more at risk from this than I am!
