A man was coming home from work later and later, and his wife started to get suspicious.
"Why are you always coming home so late?" She asked her husband one night.
"Because I'm working overtime", the man answered.
The wife said nothing. But next week she confronted her husband again.
"Tell me truth! What do you really do after you get off from work? Do not lie to me, I know something is up."
"I already told you. I'm at work the whole time and I come straight home", the man repeated calmly.
But the wife still wasn't convinced. Finally she hired a private detective to follow her husband around. The detective came back to her and said:
"Your husband goes to work at 9 am and leaves the office at 8:30 pm. He doesn't go anywhere else in the meantime."
But the wife still wasn't happy.
"There must be something else to it. Find out what he actually does in the office."
The detective went to work and reported back to the wife.
"I spoke to your husband's boss and his coworkers. He works the whole day. He actually works harder than anyone else in the whole company. He barely takes time off to eat lunch. He practically slaves away from morning till night."
When the wife heard this, she felt embarrassed and teared up. She went to her husband and embraced him in her arms.
"I'm so sorry I ever doubted you, my love! Here I was thinking you were up to something no good and all you were doing was telling me the truth! I'm so ashamed of myself. Can you ever forgive me?"
"Of course. I'm just glad you finally came to your senses. I hope we can now put this behind us", the husband replied while holding his wife.
That night as the couple was getting ready for bed the wife suddenly had a thought.
"But darling, why do you work such long hours without breaks?"
"To earn more money of course."
"But why? Don't we already have everything we need?"
This time the husband loses his patience.
"For God's sake woman! Do you have any idea how hard it is to support two families and a gay lover in this economy? Now stop asking stupid questions and go to sleep."
