Answer Me You Son of a Bitch

Silence is the lethal injection in any relationship. It’s more invective and hurtful than a barrage of expletives and a slamming door. In silence, you deny your partner the surety of knowing where you stand and giving them the option to do something about it. I’ve written a short fictional story called “Answer Me You Son Of A Bitch,” that chronicles the agony of a married woman who is ghosted by her married lover for months and months, until one day fate brings a chance for her to win him back. At the start of the episode I narrate “Answer Me You Son Of A Bitch”, then follow it up with a roundtable discussion with my guests and friends David, Samantha and John, who react to the story and share their own thoughts on infidelity.
