Keep On Truckin'

We watched a show about relationships gone bad. This is how one of the stories began:

TV: "James couldn't help but hit on Melinda when he saw her washing her truck in the parking lot."
G: How do you even hit on someone at a truck stop?
Me: Hey girl...I like the way you're waxing that fender
Y: LMAO. Wow.
G: lol And with that, he can officially pick up women ANYWHERE.
Me: LOL. Hey, don't ask if you don't want the answer yo.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the truck stop love didn't last. Both were married, had an affair, divorced their spouses so they could marry each other, but James didn't stop his womanizing ways. In some sort of strange rebellion, Melinda got herself a gambling problem and decided to divorce James over all the cheating. Inexplicably, the judge dismissed her claims that he cheated (despite endless amounts of proof) and blamed her gambling for the demise of their marriage. James got everything, including the house they bought together, in the divorce. Melinda proceeded to ram her truck into the house, damaging the foundation and causing thousands of dollars in damage. In spite of all this, they still hope to reconcile someday since they "got along great".
