The Truth Hurts
Imagine traveling across the world to put food on your table only to realize that your wife is spending every night with a different person. That’s what happened to the OP’s client. The dad was working in Korea when he discovered his wife was having an affair. He couldn’t just hop on a plane back to the States and serve her divorce papers, could he?
How did this come to light? Apparently, the OP answered the phone while the mom was away. She was busy partying while the husband was working his butt off on another continent. The OP probably wanted the Earth to swallow them up when they heard the heartbroken voice on the other end.
