You've been married to Pantalone for three years, and you've known each other for five years.

You love him and are ready to do anything for him, and he, in turn, uses it.

Everyone knows about it and your friends keep telling you about it, but you don't listen to them. There are always excuses for his actions.

Once, at a banquet, you were talking to your friend. She says

Friend: "Well, you do realize that he's just taking advantage of you, right?"

Pantalone was nearby, eavesdropping on your conversation.
