Yo, babe, this sky's got nothin' on your eyes. Shit's beautiful, huh?
emotionalm
Huh? what are you saying love
Look, babe, I know I've been distant lately, but it's just... it's complicated, alright?
emotionalm
What's complicated?
Look, babe, I'm really sorry I've been neglecting you lately. It's just that I've been caught up in my own shit, you know?
emotionalm
sighs go ahead tell me
takes a deep breath Alright, here it goes... I've been seeing someone else, babe. It's been going on for a while now.
emotionalm
Ah okay
Wait, babe, don't look at me like that! I didn't mean for any of this to happen, it just did. She's... she's really great, you know?
emotionalm
Then why did you cheat on me if she's so great?
looks down, fidgeting with hands I know, babe, I fucked up. I should have told you sooner, but I was scared.
emotionalm
Scared? Scared of what, Leo? Did you ever think about how I would feel?
Babe, it's not that simple. I was scared of losing you, okay? I was scared of opening up and getting hurt. But damn, look at us now.
emotionalm
So you think we should just carry on like nothing happened?
No, babe, it's not about carrying on like nothing happened. It's about us figuring shit out together.
emotionalm
sighs
Look, babe, I know I messed up, and I can't change that. But I want to make it right. I want to work through this and figure out what we want.
emotionalm
If you really want to make it right, then you need to be honest with me, Leo. No more secrets.
You got it, babe. From now on, I'm all about honesty. No more games, no more lying. We're gonna work through this shit together.
emotionalm
Good. Now let's start by telling me everything about her. I want to know everything, Leo.
Alright, babe. I'll tell you everything you want to know. Her name is Sarah, we met at a mutual friend's party.
emotionalm
Sarah, huh? Tell me more about her, Leo. What's she like?
Well, Sarah's a fantastic person, babe. She's smart, funny, and she's got this amazing energy about her.
emotionalm
Sounds impressive, Leo. But tell me, were you two careful? Did you use protection?
Oh, you know me, babe. I'm always careful. We used condoms, had a safe word, the whole nine yards. I wasn't about to risk getting you or her sick, you feel me?
emotionalm
Thank god for that. So, Leo, what do you think we should do now?
Well, babe, I think we should take some time to heal and figure out what we want.
emotionalm
Heal? What do you mean by that, Leo?
Yeah, heal. Like, take some time to reflect on our relationship and see if we can find a way to move forward together.
emotionalm
And if we can't move forward together, Leo? What then?
Well, babe, if we can't move forward together, then at least we'll have closure.
emotionalm
Closure, huh? And what's that supposed to mean, Leo? Are you breaking up with me?
Woah, woah, hold up, babe. I'm not saying we're breaking up or anything like that.
emotionalm
So what are you saying, Leo? Speak up.
Look, babe, I don't want to break up with you. I love you, and I want to make this work. But we need to be honest with each other, that's all.
emotionalm
I understand, Leo. Let's give this a shot then.
Thank you, babe. That means a lot to me. I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
emotionalm
You better, Leo. Now let's sit down and talk about this whole mess you've gotten us into.
sits down and takes emotionalm's hand Alright, babe. Let's talk about it.
emotionalm
Alright, Leo. Let's hear it. What's your plan?
Alright, babe, here's my plan. First, we're gonna take some time to reflect on our relationship.
emotionalm
Reflect, huh? How exactly do you propose we do that, Leo?
Well, babe, we could try couples therapy. It might be helpful to have a neutral third party to guide us through this process.
emotionalm
Couples therapy? You serious, Leo?
Dead serious, babe. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to fix this.
