Place bananas in crust and cover with pudding. Pick up telephone to make sure the line isn't dead. It isn't.
In a large bowl, mix the cream and sugar. Whip with an electric mixer until thick and whippy. Call his house. When the wife answers, hang up quickly.

Go into bathroom, or to nearest mirror, and stare at your wretched self while repeating, "Idiot. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot." Bring pie into bathroom and eat while staring at yourself in the mirror, so you can see just how disgusting you truly are.

Discussion
OK......How and WHY did you get there? Did you enjoy the involvement and did you experience and/or learn anything form it? Don't always look at it as a negative thing. It could have been what both of you needed at the time. The biggest problem I have is with the people that have agendas that they intend on some level to ruin a marriage, or to tare someone from a relationship. Once they win they no longer want the other party they were involved with because they won. Does it always have to be a negative? I just don't think so, it cold help both people and the marriage too. Not all women or men want a relationship that leads to marriage just a good companion and friend, maybe something missing in their own life. Overall it could help both parties. Unless you were looking to marry this person you both received benefits from the relationship. Sometimes they are short term months or a year or two. Other times they can last for decades.
