A SITUATION TO AVOID BUT AT WHAT COST?

A response to AG4111 follows. But I think it's fairly wide spread issue. I don't want to say it but your situation sound hopeless.

Cut away to front room. Woman and man, both in mid-twenties sitting on an Ikea sofa half the room is awash with vinyl, the other is clean and furnished in a selection of thourghtfully chosen soft furnishings, cushions. TV plays to itself - something sickly sweet for ironic value, maybe Love Actually....

Her: "I think it's time we had a talk about *us*"
You: "What do you mean a talk about *us*?"
Her: "You and me - us."
You: "okay - (?)"
Her: "Well I think I've given you enough time to grow out of this breakneck thing."
You: "Whoa there. Just a minute. Did you just say grow out of breaks? REALLY. (to self) tell me she didn't go there..."
Her: (As though she didn't hear you) "And I've been talking to Louise [her mate who you think is a fool but get along with - just for peace, but when you and Lousie are alone togther it's as much fun as a kick in the nads] and she thinks..."
You: "What are you talking to your friends about *us* for. (to self) Now I'm saying it."
Her: "Well. She thinks its immature and that you should grow up"
You: Saying nothing. eyeing up the door and the winters night beyond which feels sudenly more welcoming than your own front room.
Her: "I've let you get away with this for too long"
You: Standing up and reaching for your coat. Glazed expression in his eyes.
Her: "We need to discuss your priorities and how I can change you into something...."
You: GONE.

Lights fade down into black. As that happens she reaches for her phone on the arm of the sofa. By the time the screen is black we hear a door slam and...

Her: Hey Lousie. [PAUSE] yeah I said it and guess what? You were right. [PAUSE] The bastards gone

CUT

Ok, so I don't have the answers at all. But what do you expect from the internet.
