In couples therapy

“I told my therapist about you and she made a face. Like, a professional face. It wasn't good.”

“I just want you to know that I'm not upset about the thing. I'm upset about the thing behind the thing. And also the original thing. And a third thing you don't even know about yet.”

“I need you to understand that when I said 'fine,' there were actually seven different emotions packed into that word and none of them were fine.”

“I didn't say it was your fault. I said I was blaming you.”

“I feel like we're really growing as a couple. Mostly because I'm doing all the growing.”

“You have the emotional range of a USB cable.”
