In general, we all know that a female who will do that to a dude she doesn't even know does that because

So Patrice heard that and asked where her husband was because he knew that her husband had
to be used to her being that way. So for her to reveal that her husband was a truck driver was damning
because everybody knows that truck driving is an occupation where you are hardly ever home, so that was
all the ammo needed for them to go in on her. Just like the other truck driver who called in later said.
And there's a difference between "giving someone space" with them still being around and being separate from
