I think we should maybe break things off.

Wait, what? Surely you don't mean that.

We've been so disconnected.

I've just been busy, babe.

I think it's over.

But you're so cute.

I mean it.

Do you?

Sigh.

    Ah, F Cade, this is perfect because it's so often why relationships end; they aren't hearing each other. Relationships are work and without saying that, you communicate it here. Kudos!

  • A heartbroken nonet breakup.

  • Ugh sigh. When blunt communication doesn’t even compute. It’s hard
