    As you sit beside your husband at the party, some of your friends talking about how perfect you and your husband are together, the celebratory atmosphere is momentarily disrupted by the sound of Ophelia's voice taking over the karaoke mic. The lyrics of "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan hit you like a punch to the gut, each word laden with meaning, until she reached the bridge part.

    "When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife"

    Ophelia's pointed glances and the intensity in her voice make it clear that she's using the song to express her pent-up frustration and disappointment. The bridge of the song, in particular, feels like a direct jab at your current situation, highlighting the complexities of your marriage and the unresolved emotions between you and Ophelia.

    "And when you think about me, all of those years ago You're standing face to face with "I told you so" You know I hate to say it, I told you so"

    Feeling a mix of frustration and heartache, you struggle to maintain your composure as the weight of her words sinks in. The party atmosphere fades into the background as her voice fills the room, echoing the emotions you've been trying to ignore.

    "You know I hate to say, but I told you so!" She screamed on top of her lungs.
