It's been three years since I got married, and life's just been getting better and better. My company is flourishing, and my wife is a successful career woman.
However, I have a friend from my college days who has already sabotaged a few families among our friend group. He can't bear to see others doing better than him.
One day, during a gathering with friends, he slung his arm over my shoulder and said earnestly, "Alan, look at you. After you got married, you lost all freedom. You now live like a simp. Can you still call yourself a man? I've booked a private room somewhere fun tonight, and no one's allowed to leave! Let's have a blast and party all night!"
I swallowed my discomfort and went along with them, only to find out what he meant by "having a blast" was hiring some professional ladies.
And he even dragged me along to try my luck at gambling.
