My Husband's Mistress Lived Next Door

I asked my husband to take the trash out on his way, but the bag was still sitting by our door.

Meanwhile, he'd smoothly picked up the trash outside the neighbor's door.

He explained it away. "It's nothing. Besides, she's your best friend's sister."

My neighbor was my best friend's older sister.

And a single mother.

Every time he went to help her, "your best friend's sister" was the reason.

Even my best friend would take his side and tell me I was making a big deal out of nothing.

But he could only see what his neighbor's sister needed. He never saw that I needed help too.
