Retribution

Some years ago I was "friends" (why do we use the plural?) with a couple and on social occasions the husband often would embarrass his wife in front of others. I knew she was hurt by his action and I took her aside one evening and said "The next time you are in a gathering why don't you introduce him as your first husband, Sam.  Maybe he will get the message." I don't know whether she ever did but a few years later she did acquire husband number two. I remained "friends" with all parties to the equation thereafter. Prescient? perhaps.
I recall a line from an old song "Be kind to your fine feathered friends" - and while you're at it shower some kindness on your spouse.
