VeVo-1: A man and a woman are in a conversation: He reproaches her for going out with other men. She reproaches him for neglecting her in bed. He agrees not to beat her anymore and to buy her nice clothes, if she will quit sleeping with other men. She answers that she can’t quit, because it does her good. One day, perhaps she will have enough and she’ll quit by herself. The best thing for him would be to complain no more. He resigns with a curse.
