‘Whore’ In The Grocery Store

2 min readOct 8, 2021

There was this couple at the grocery store. The husband was your typical tall, dark and handsome type while the wife wasn’t pretty, but he didn’t marry for her beauty. He married her to break her.

On this day at the store, she was browsing the perfume aisle when he found her, ready to go. They had just finished up their shopping and she asked him,

“Do you think I should get this?”

She sniffed the body spray that she tested and the price was only $3.99. It was Cherry Blossoms by Bodycology. He barked out a sharp, “NO” and demanded that they go to check out.

Once they left the store, he went on a rant.

“I did not marry a whore! You’re supposed to be my wife, not a whore!”

This outburst took her completely by surprise and she asked him what he was talking about.

“You asked for my permission to buy perfume in front of people. This makes you look like a whore!”

She tried to explain that she was asking for his opinion, not his permission.

“Shut up! Don’t talk to me. You are not my wife.”

After they got home, he left and didn’t return until the next morning, after she went to work.
