On their first night as a married couple, a playful moment turned into a strangely tense silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were lying in bed, talking about everything and nothing, when the husband suddenly asked the question many couples jokingly bring up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow many men have you slept with?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At first, he expected a laugh, a tease, maybe even a sarcastic answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But instead\u2026 she said nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She stared straight up at the ceiling, expression frozen, as if she couldn\u2019t even hear him. So he tried again, gently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBabe, it\u2019s okay. Really. You can tell me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Still nothing. No movement. No blink. No sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just that same blank stare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Confused, he sat up a little and whispered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhy won\u2019t you answer me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And that\u2019s when he finally understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She wasn\u2019t avoiding the question. She was counting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The man burst into laughter, realizing he had just opened a door he wasn\u2019t prepared for \u2014 and she didn\u2019t stop counting until the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moral of the story:<\/strong> On their first night as a married couple, a playful moment turned into a strangely tense silence.

The silence hung so heavy that he thought she might be upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She wasn\u2019t embarrassed.
She wasn\u2019t hiding anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never ask a question you\u2019re not emotionally prepared to hear the answer to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
