Barbara watched Matt as he paced up and down the warehouse's floor. She asked " Are you okay Matt ?'', he then replied " I'm sick of my wife accusing me of having an affair, maybe I should just leave and go elsewhere". Barbara and Matt had been working together for three years now in a factory driving fork trucks ,but Barbara had never seen him so upset before, until this one night as he explained to her what was going on between him and his wife.
By confiding in Barbara, he started to calm down by telling her how wonderful his wife has always been to him and their four children. He would buy his wife Vicki flowers and treat her to and all inclusive vacation. They were the perfect couple in everyone's eyes. All of Matt's family and friends looked up to them as role models in life but Vicki couldn't get the notion out of her head that Matt was having an affair.
Bursting into tears she yelled " You damn liar!, who is that woman you're going to meet at 11:00 tonight ?''. Matt stood there shaking his head and said " I'm not leaving out to meet anyone dear, you always falsely accusing me of something and it needs to stop now. " Storming out the front door Matt jumped into his ride and sped off as Vicki stood their crying, watching him drive away.
The next morning the front door squeaked as it was opened by Matt .It was 6:00 am when he arrived home. Vicki had been up all night waiting for him to come in. She walked over to him and slapped him in the face and told him to pack his bags and leave . ''This is the last time that you will lie and cheat on me''. While packing ,Matt thought about the wonderful night he had, it's been a long time since he had this much fun with someone he was definitely compatible with.
Vicki poured herself a cup of coffee as she called her best friend Sharon to tell her the news about her lying , cheating husband that she couldn't tolerate any longer. The thought of him sleeping with someone made Vicki sick to her stomach. "How could he?" she told her friend Sharon.
She sat in silence after ending her call with Sharon and thought about the way he had started behaving toward her , that he had become more distant. The thought of her reaching out to embrace , kiss ,or even make love to him seem to turn him away. This has been going on for months she recalled. While trying to discuss these matters with Matt he would just suddenly leave the house.
After Matt had shared his secret with Barbara of what transpired between him and his wife, she exploded " You are a lying cheating bastard that I've known for three years . Why didn't you tell your wife that you are Gay and have been sleeping with your friend Don, who is HIV positive."
