How I Became a Widow to Avoid Small Talk | EP037

from Bothered · host Slate6ix Media

Get ready to be BOTHERED by the time Julie Kim turned a simple shopping trip into a full-blown tragedy — for no reason at all. While waiting in line at a clothing store, Julie's baby started crying, and a judgmental stranger decided it was her business to comment. Rather than taking the high road, Julie went straight for emotional devastation: she told the woman her child was acting out because her father had just died. In this episode, Julie breaks down how she got there, why lying felt easier than confrontation, and what happens when "winning" a social interaction means fake-killing off your husband.
