The Weight of Infidelity

The setting begins on a beautiful morning, as a wedded pair, John and Angie, engage in sexual activity in their kitchen. In their bare and perspiring state, we observe them copulate passionately for several moments against the cabinets until John ejaculates deeply into Angie's mouth. She swallows his semen before springing up and enveloping her husband in a hug. They appear extremely content. As they cool down, Angie saunters to the freezer and retrieves a tub of ice cream. This action halts John. He inquires about her intentions and, casually, she informs him that she craves something sweet. After all, she just burned a ton of calories! John's expression drops, and he reminds her of the effort she's invested over the recent months. She shouldn't falter now. Angie chuckles, arguing that it's just a small amount of ice cream but John snatches the tub and returns it to the freezer, closing the door. 'I'm serious,' he asserts. 'You don't want to put on weight. You still have so much to shed!' Angie removes the spoon from her mouth, her demeanor shifting. 'It's ok darling,' she murmurs. 'I have a body pump class during lunch break and I'll hit the gym after work.' John grabs the spoon from her grip and places it in the dishwasher. 'I don't know how many times we need to discuss this,' he states bluntly. 'This is no laughing matter. It's for your well-being!' Angie recoils, shielding herself. Meekly, she apologizes, claiming she didn't think it would cause such a fuss. She's already shed so much; does she really have more to lose? John gazes at her in silence until Angie begins to appear noticeably distressed. 'You know I'm only saying this to protect you,' he conveys, moving in closer to comfort her. 'I'll always cherish you no matter what. You have the potential to be so attractive. But, you're fortunate I can see past the physical.' Feeling defeated and vulnerable, Angie thanks her spouse for his patience and understanding. He plants a kiss on her forehead and instructs her to prepare for work. FADE TO TITLE PLATE Angie busily works at her desk with the remnants of a very nutritious, light meal beside her. She struggles to focus and keeps glancing at her desk drawer. Eventually, she opens it to reveal a stash of candy and snack bars. Cut to a public restroom. Angie is hunched inside a closed stall, vomiting. She flushes and exits awkwardly as a colleague enters in gym attire and asks if she's ready for body pump. She grins and affirms, reverting to her usual cheerful demeanor, and they exit. Cut to the couple's residence. John paces nervously, checking his reflection in the mirror and peering out the front window. Unbeknownst to Angie, he has left work early to rendezvous with Karen, a woman he's been unfaithful with. Karen is blissfully unaware that John is married. He receives a text message from her stating she's two minutes away. John replies asking if she brought the cupcakes. She confirms. He instructs her the door is open. He waits by the entrance, loosening his tie, as she enters. Karen is a stunning, curvaceous woman with far more curves than Angie ... a stark contrast to the image John has been pressuring Angie to achieve. The lustful man seizes his mistress and they passionately kiss up the stairs to the master bedroom. Cut to several hours later. Angie returns home through the front door, still damp and in workout clothes. As she sets down her gym bag, she begins to hear sounds emanating from the upstairs bedroom. She cautiously ascends the stairs, her expression falling as she recognizes the noises. Inside the master bedroom, John is having intercourse with Karen on the marital bed (BG Sequence 2). He is adoring Karen's voluptuous body, feeding her the cupcakes, and evidently deriving great pleasure from having sex with a plus-sized woman. Angie observes from the entrance, heartbroken. She glances at her wet workout clothes in repulsion and disbelief. How is this possible?! On one hand, she is shattered by John's betrayal but also perplexed as to why he dedicated so much energy convincing her to lose weight when he was clearly attracted to women much fuller than her. Scenes of them copulating are intercut with Angie's watching. John withdraws and ejaculates all over Karen's stomach as Angie finally breaks down and flees the house. As she runs frantically, the sun setting in the background, flashbacks of what she just witnessed overwhelm her. John and Karen copulating. John adoring Karen's curves. John feeding Karen. Her flashbacks are
