1. Being married is incredibly convenient. Whether you want to turn down someone's confession or politely decline your boss's offer to set you up with someone, just claim you're married and all those problems disappear.
Even when your coworkers want you to join them for dinner after work, you can turn them down perfectly by claiming your wife won't let you stay out late.
2. My breakup with Lou Zhan was ugly. I dumped him for money, and no matter how tearfully he begged me to stay, I remained unmoved and insisted we break up.
I figured Lou Zhan would never want to see me again.
Unluckily, we ran into each other again five years later. Just as I'd expected, Lou Zhan found even looking at me disgusting.
I'd seen it coming, so it didn't bother me much.
Besides, he had a partner now, and I was already "married." There was no way we could have anything to do with each other again.
3. Why is Lou Zhan so curious about my nonexistent wife?
4. Once you've told one lie, you need several more to cover it up.
5. Lou Zhan broke up.
6. Lou Zhan said he could be the side partner: my wife gets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, he gets Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and I get Sunday off.
How considerate.
I considerately turned down his offer, too.
