To what extent is this ironic, you ask?
How ironic, George thought as his anger at the day’s events grew. Since she has been behaving so suspiciously recently, she is becoming more unhappy with me since I have not been revealing the full truth. George’s resentment for his girlfriend was palpable. She had no right to be so rude to him. The two started arguing, first about nothing more serious than Rex and the sofa pillow. He nearly questioned her motives for going to the petrol station by herself.
