I messaged a man I knew from work (twitter) and told him some secrets of mine.
So my coworker Vanessa was married for years. They had all kinds of problems in their marriage, but she kept going and it made me really jealous. I got so mad after a couple months that I told her \"you know what? You're married to an idiot!\" Anyway, Vanessa is the sweetest person I know and she's not into dating people from work. But... one day we just started talking again. And then she asked me if I would like to chat more about it over a drink, which was totally normal. But after chatting for a bit Vanessa went into her office and started talking on the phone with someone who sounded very nervous. We both got quiet while she talked to whoever she had been having conversations with, and I noticed they were about 25 feet away from Vanessa's desk. After a few minutes, she finally finished talking. Her eyes looked like they hadn't slept in days. \"Thank you\" was all she said as she hung up on the person on the other end of the line and then made her way back to her desk, where I walked over. After getting a hug from Vanessa, we sat down at an empty table. I told Vanessa how much I had appreciated chatting with her and she was smiling as she said \"you don't always have to say what you think all the time\". The next day, we decided to meet up at a coffee shop. We talked for about an hour and Vanessa told me that her husband had just left home with their two kids in tow. She said she was really nervous because she always thought they were too much of a good wife as to leave. After talking for about an hour, Vanessa left and I continued with my day at work. A few hours later, her husband called me on Facebook and asked if he could come over to our house that same night
