@LilBroInTrouble -bar top before looking to Russ] But either way, I’m so relieved to have you in my corner on this. I’m going to need all the help I can get.
@LilBroInTrouble [Russ’s excitement is definitely giving him the confidence to go further in his divorce plans. He chuckles low] Weren’t Timon and Pumbaa lovers? I agree that my kids are quite royal, but I know that meerkat and pig were definitely not brothers. [He sits his drink back on the -
@LilBroInTrouble -all… it would be hilarious, but probably not the best way to live.] I’ll let you know what the attorneys say, but I’d I were you, I’d think about packing soon. [he gives his brother a wink as he takes another drink.]
@LilBroInTrouble [he smirks before taking another drink] Russell, I have no doubt in my mind that you didn’t need any other reasons. [he can only imagine how much of a rage his wife would fly into with a dog following her around. She hates pretty much every animal there is, and dogs most of -
@LilBroInTrouble -Megan? [he chuckles. He doesn’t really mean it. He knows he has to have an amicable relationship with soon-to-be ex-wife for his children’s sake.] The kids have been wanting a dog. As long as it doesn’t destroy my floors, I’d be fine with a dog.
@LilBroInTrouble [He pretends he doesn’t notice how flattered Russ is. It honestly breaks his heart to know that his brother would be in such disbelief of the fact that Hal would want him to help him when he needs it.] I only have one condition to the dog stipulation: can we train it to bark at-
@LilBroInTrouble -living in the house. Would you… [he’s nervous Russ will say no.] would you essentially become my nanny? You could move in if you want to, but I just need to know you’ll be there when I need you.
@LilBroInTrouble [a loud laugh slips at the mention of Megan being the witch.] No one is throwing you under the bus. If I go through with this, I’m definitely going to need you more often. Working from home seven days a week or not, I’m going to need childcare help when Megan is no longer -
@LilBroInTrouble -with her until the ink dries on the papers. [he falls silent before addressing his kids.] I’m going to have to take more days out of the office and go back to working mostly from home again to make sure they’re okay. The Sinclairs can just zoom me in. They’ll have to.
@LilBroInTrouble [He can’t help his smirk at all the ways Russ inflates his ego] You’re an idiot, but you’re right. I’ll take to my bosses and see if they can recommend someone good to represent me. I don’t want to do it myself because it’s not my speciality. I’ll talk to Wendy and break it off-
@LilBroInTrouble -Russ, I think I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life. I’ve betrayed my marriage, insulted the first woman I’ve met that I click with by turning her into the other woman, and caused myself more stress than anyone needs.
@LilBroInTrouble [he rubs his chin as he considers Russ’s wisdom. If anyone knew about the world of infidelity, it was his brother.] I mean, I’ve been taking my suits to her for quite a while. She’s never been inappropriate until we… well, until we… you know. [he takes another drink] Damn it,-
@LilBroInTrouble -have no doubt her marriage is bad. It’s not like she’s happily married and that’s just how they get their kicks. [he drains his glass in favor of the new one put before him] But if she’s just fucking around… it has to end.
@LilBroInTrouble [his head shakes] It’s obviously not just sex from my side. I’ve never met another woman who intrigues me the way she does. [he considers Russ’s question.] She doesn’t complain endlessly about her husband, but yeah, she has mentioned problems. We shared our issues alike, so I -
@LilBroInTrouble -leaving my unhappy marriage so my kids have a chance of living in a peaceful home, after I put my kids through the trauma of a divorce, I have to nurture a broken heart. [he takes a long drink.]
@LilBroInTrouble [he groans as if he’s in pain.] But what if Wendy doesn’t want that? Like I leave my wife and tell her that I’m here to take her away from her awful marriage, and then she laughs in my face and says it was just sex. [he lifting his glass his head shakes] Then instead of just -
@LilBroInTrouble - for living. [he knows he has to leave Megan, but with Wendy in the mix, things are more complicated than he could have accounted for.]
@LilBroInTrouble [he gives a smirk] You know, before I slept with Wendy, I always knew I would call her lovers into court with a subpoena in order to show her as an unfit mother. [he sighs heavily] Now, if she finds out about Wendy, she can do the exact same thing and I lose my only reasons -
@LilBroInTrouble -I’m worried they’ll think all of it is because of them, and I can’t stand thinking of what Megan would tell them when she’s alone with them. [speaking the stress out loud is almost too much for him.]
@LilBroInTrouble [he gives a shrug] If we’re being honest, I’ve wanted to leave Megan since well before Wendy. [By her third affair, Hal was ready to divorce Megan] I’m only staying because the kids are so young and I don’t think they’ll understand what’s going on. [he orders another round.] -
