        That is rather long winded, but still good. - Spawn May 22, 12:30 3
        
        Exactly. I think the deeper issue for the couple in the question is that they're not having quality time as often. - Jim May 22, 12:31 2
        
        Yeah, but I would suspect there is more to it than she says. - Spawn May 22, 12:35 1

        We haven't seen it, Kelly just laughs her ass off about that line though. -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 12:38 1
        
        that line right there is the reason I have no interest in watching that movie. It's so dumb, and so poorly acted. -- nm - kelly May 22, 15:04

  - "He responded that this line of questioning felt dangerous" - professor smartbrain May 22, 12:00 9
    - that's the kicker. he even knew what it would lead to and tried to avoid it. what else could he possibly have done that would have had her leave him - b. May 22, 12:02 8
      - I'm with pixie. You don't avoid it by saying "this is a dangerous line of questioning" -- nm - Roger More May 22, 12:22 3
        
        (I'm not saying that she's reasonable. But he didn't handle it well) -- nm - Roger More May 22, 12:25 2
        
        i feel like this is probably not the first time she's cornered him, then got pissed off. -- nm - San Andreas May 22, 12:28 1
        
        Then he should have learned from experience! -- nm - Roger More May 22, 12:37
      - (when she's past her obsessing, though, or maybe as part of getting there, they should address why adultfuntimes have waned, though.) -- nm - b. May 22, 12:06 3
        
        Would you want to have that talk after you get trapped in this situation? -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 12:08 1
        
        I was thinking maybe with a third-party to facilitate. - b. May 22, 12:10
        
        it takes him too long to find the hole now. nm -- nm - groiny May 22, 12:07
- You set a trap, pushed him into it, and then got mad when you got what you wanted. -- nm - spamlet May 22, 11:54 1
  - Heh, women. - Spawn May 22, 11:56
- omg. you MADE him answer, and what he said was perfectly reasonable. You need a therapist. -- nm - San Andreas May 22, 11:53 2
  - the fact that she could even write a letter this long about this subject shows she's obsessed and needs to work on getting over it. - Diva May 22, 12:11
  - Yup. -- nm - pmb May 22, 11:56
