Phoebe never expected a casual night out to turn into a marital minefield. When she and her husband Caleb ran into his ex-girlfriend Patty at their local bar, what started as friendly banter took an uncomfortable turn.
“At least I’ll always be your favorite girlfriend,” Patty had said with a flirtatious smile directed at Caleb.
Phoebe responded with what she thought was an innocent truth: “Wouldn’t I be his favorite since I’m the one he married?” The atmosphere shifted instantly. Patty made a quick exit, later sending Caleb a scathing text about Phoebe’s “jealousy” and “insecurity.”
The situation escalated when Patty revealed Caleb had once told her he’d never marry – even with “a gun to his head” – yet proposed to Phoebe after just one month of rekindling their childhood romance.
Caleb stood firmly by his wife’s side, telling Patty: “She is my favorite, and that’s exactly why I married her.” But the damage was done. Phoebe found herself questioning – was she wrong for stating the obvious about her marriage?
