Today, I had to call a plumber out to clear a blockage in our bathroom drainpipe. After coming back from work later in the day, and after a tearful confession from my wife, I found out that pipe wasn't the only one he snaked. FML

Today, my sink seemed to be filling up with dirty water. Concerned, I turned on the garbage disposal and plunged away. With no change in the water levels, I called a plumber. He reached in, pulled out the drain plug, and give me his bill while chuckling to himself. FML

Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML

Today, I was speeding home, bursting to take a crap. I pulled into my driveway and made it inside, before my wife told me the plumber was still working on our pipes. I ended up having to take a crap in my own backyard, behind a tree. FML

Today, when I got home from work, my fiancé was finishing up with the plumber who had just installed new fixtures for our shower. I decided that I was going to be the first to break it in. I went to the bathroom, got undressed and went to start the water. The OTHER plumber was still in there. FML

Today, at work, the only toilet in the building was so clogged that it was overflowing. We didn't have a plunger, so basically the only way to stop it was to try and reach in and remove the blockage. I was nominated to do it. FML

Today, sewage came up the toilet and tub in my apartment and spread far enough to get into the hallway. The maintenance crew found the source of the blocked pipes to be a ten inch long weave some idiot flushed down a toilet. FML

Today, I was about to get it on with a girl in the bathroom of my friend's house at a party. Just when things started getting heated, a pipe burst. Literally. There was water everywhere and everyone had to evacuate the building. I was cockblocked by poor plumbing. FML

Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. FML

Today, I clogged the only toilet at work. Thinking I could escape and blame someone else, I opened the door, only to see a line of people waiting outside. FML

Call his company and tell them he's fraternizing with the clients. Get his ass fired.

At least she was honest and told you immediately instead of covering it up for months or years.

1. Call the company and refuse to pay the bill. 2. Cancel your check or dispute the charge with your credit card company. 3. Call the Better Business Bureau and make a complaint. 4. File assault charges on the plumber as she was clearly not in her right mind. 5. If he is married make her tell his wife in a public place preferably when they are together. 6. Write a letter to the Attorney General of your state about this plumbing company. 7. Sue the owner of the company. He will want to settle to avoid all the negative publicity. (The insurance company will have to get involved!). 8. Make her tell both her and your family what she did. 9. Divorce her as soon as this list is done.

If this is a true posting, you have my profound sympathy. What an awful thing for two people to do! It's important to remember that they were not thinking of YOU when they did it. Someone who doesn't think about you or your feelings is unworthy of your time or attention.

I would "communicate my unhappiness" to both of them with extreme prejudice.

Ask her why. She could have been intoxicated, in which case you would want to settle things together and come up with some new "terms and regulations" to your marriage. Else, if it was just a surge in her whoremones, consider it twice - especially if you have kids - before you settle for a divorce. Maybe live separately for a bit, and see if you could get over it or live without her. Best of luck, man. Total ***** move from her.
