As you’re heading to the restroom, you can’t help but notice something odd. Robin is cowering in a corner as Nick seems to be lecturing her.
Being the curious person that you are, you sneak in to get a better ear on the situation.
“I told you that you would screw up the chicken,” Nick calmly says to Robin. He’s so calm it’s almost eerie. “You can’t do anything right, Robin,” he continues. “You really can’t.”
Robin meekly responds, saying “I know. I’ll try harder. I am a terrible cook.”
You’re freaked out. In fact, you’re so disturbed that you skip “the call” and head straight back to the living room to tell your husband what you’ve just seen. He’s as confused as you are. Really, Nick seems like the nicest guy in the world.
In a matter of seconds, Nick and Robin reemerge, hand in hand. Nick jovially smiles as Robin gives him a kiss on the cheek. And with that, dinner is served.
Sound crazy? It’s not.
The hypothetical situation may seem bizarre. However, it’s more common than one would think.
