"It’s cold, we should go inside, c'mon"

"Get away from me. I’m staying out here"

"Oh stop being so stubborn darli-"

"Don't you dare call me that, that’s a name of affection and last time I recall, there hasn't been any affection between us in a long time"

"Wha- what are you talking about? All I do is try to make you happy and give you my undivided attention.

"Nothing. Just nothing. Just shut up, I don’t want to hear this.”

"Okay, seriously, what’s gotten into you? For the last two months you've been crabby and so distanced. Tell me what I'm doing wrong babe, and I'll fix it."

"'Tell me what I'm doing wrong babe, I’ll fix it babe' my god you do this all the time! Whine and whine and whine 'what’s wrong!  Oh my goodness, how can I make it better!?" You're like a broken record player, you just keep on repeating and repeating the same damn thing!"

"What did I do wrong? I just want to make this work but you won't let me. You just push and push and push me away without giving me a chance to make things right. What happened to us? We were so great and so happy just a couple months ago and then kapoof! Everything went downhill for no reason.   Baby I miss you. I miss us. You don't know how much you mean to me. You’re my everything, I don't know what I'd be without you. I love you.
Honey, you can tell me anything. Whatever it is, I'll be by your side holding your hand the whole way. You being happy is what's important, and if there's anything I can do to help, just ask."

"There's nothing you can do to help."

"Don't say that love, we'll get through this togeth-"

"No we won't get through this. I'll get through this and I hope you'll get through this but it won't be together.
Jonah, I’m leaving you.
I've been sleeping with someone else for a while now. I don’t feel anything towards you anymore. You can keep the house and the dog, I’ll be out in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry."

“Who is it?”
“Your sister.”

Jonah’s eyes grow wide and starts getting short of breath.

“I’m sorry, goodbye Jonah.”

She left him in the cold wet street to hail a taxi without looking back.

Slowly, he fell down to his knees, curled up in a ball, and wept.

It was meant to be funny but also emotional. This was written to pull out something lingering inside of you that you didnt know was there. An unusual feeling.
