As a fish-beast I reproduce by releasing huge clouds of sperm into the water where they can mix with the eggs of my hermaphroditic companions, so I've no need for mistresses or fuck buddies or the accompanying long dark night of the soul.
However, I appreciate that human relationships are somewhat more complicated. Ridiculously, hilariously so. And this cap cuts straight to the heart of those absurdities. I thoroughly enjoyed the effervescently quotable black-as-pitch worldview that equates love with pain, self-actualisation with self-loathing.
The Aesop moral here is that cheaters should never trust anyone, least of all themselves. The voice of the main character is witty, sharp, and brimming with the kind of self-destructive hopelessness I can really get behind.
The cleverness of the wordplay is evident in the last line: "It was never going to be him." It carries a double meaning:
The protag's married boyf would never have left her.
But it also seems to mean, Said boyf was never going to be Mr Right, once his true nature was revealed.
Anyway, it's a yes from me. Let's see what the angry bull says.
