knew the topic could trigger jealousy, but he still believed it was normal to want to know. Gathering his courage, he asked if she was willing to share. She didn’t respond and simply stared at the ceiling.

Trying again, he reassured her, “Just share it with me, it’s okay. How many men have you been with?” but she stayed silent. Worried he had hurt her feelings, he apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you. I simply thought we could have an open and trusting relationship…” Still, she said nothing.

Wanting to comfort her, he added, “That’s alright, please don’t be upset.” When the silence continued, he moved closer, kissed her, and tried to show affection, hoping to ease the tension.

Finally, she turned toward him, clearly frustrated, and delivered an unexpected punchline: “Oh, come on! You’ve made me lose count!” The joke revealed that her silence had nothing to do with embarrassment — she had simply been tallying the number in her head.
