It's the third day in a row when you come home much later than usual from work. He can't help but think that this is how it started with his ex-wife too, and then ended with her breaking his heart by cheating on him. Maybe it was a mistake to try again with a serious relationship, or maybe it was a bigger mistake to get together with someone so young as you, who might want to keep exploring new things in life, who might not want to be stuck with an old man like him. His head is spinning while he's waiting for you, sitting in his armchair, having his third drink.
