"Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.” Andy Weir's The Egg

I stumbled on this story.  It's very short.  It'll make you think.  The two people I told it to were impressed.  I'd love to just post it here, but it's Andy Weir's work, so I had to do some value added to get you started and then you can finish it at Andy's site. 

Clicking the Picture will enlarge it. To finish the story click here.

I guess you'll just have to trust me that it's worth reading the whole thing.  All the way to the end.  It's short.  You can finish it in any of 30 languages (I'm counting Norwegian and Portuguese just once each.)
