An exchange on love and marriage

"You have a Golden Retriever here." His hand flys up in a karate chop gesture, stopping just above his head. "And then you have her, here." His hand slashes up another six inches. "She is the most loyal person I've ever met."

"Wow, that would be nice."

"Yeah, yeah it is."

"I'm sure that's what your wife thinks as well."

"NO. No, she could care less what I do... she owes me a 12-pack, and she knows it. After the first several times, I stopped trying to catch her."

"Man, I'm sorry. So why are you still together? Kids?"

"Yeah." He was broken, hurt, resigned. And she had lost exactly what she had been searching for.
