Edward Albee's The Goat/Who Is Sylvia is about middle-aged Martin who has fallen in love outside of his marriage, with Sylvia the goat. He confesses to his wife Stevie who breaks down in agony.
An excerpt:
Stevie
You love me. Let’s see if I understand the phrase. You love me.
Martin
Yes!
Stevie
But I’m a human being; I have only two breasts; I walk upright; I give milk only on special occasions; I use the toilet. (begins to cry) you love me? I don’t understand.
Martin (more hopeless)
Oh, God!
Stevie
How can you love me when you love so much less?
