You can't really be surprised, can you?
By what?
Well, that he's running around with an escort.
What do you mean?
You've normalized it for him.
Right, like you normalized it for me.
Oh, I never ran around with hookers.
I don't run around with hookers either.
Dom. Didn't you run around with that exact hooker? You gave her the key to my room.
You know the reason I am the way I am is because of you.
You're blaming me for your situation? That's rich.
Do you think you were so discrete? Do you? I mean, how many nights did I hear Mom cry herself to sleep? Get real. Everybody knew, Dad. Everybody knew. Everybody knew.
We had a great marriage.
Oh, my God. You are deluded. You made her life hell my entire childhood. Do you have amnesia?
If I made her life hell, why'd she stay with me?
I have no idea. She didn't know any better. She was a martyr. I don't know.
She loved me.
She was a bitter woman. And she died a bitter woman, and she knew about everything you did. Believe me. You were just too self-involved to even notice that. Yeah, and you know what, I... I don't blame you for my situation, but I sure fucking could. Because you never... showed me how to love a woman. You never... showed me how to be intimate. You never showed me how to put others first. You always put yourself first. Always. So I did the same thing.
I loved your mother. And she loved me.
It's not that simple.
Yes, it is.
