Setting: cafe. Entering meeting with coworkers a bit late due to phone conversation.
coworker 1 (25 male): about what?
me: Oh, well, she was having this ambiguous relationship with a boy in Spain for a really long time, but she offered to move to Spain to be with him and he basically said no, because --
coworker 2 (25 male, with a blank stare): -- because then it would no longer be ambiguous?
coworker 1 (with a blank stare): she offered to move to Spain?
coworker 2: Isn't the whole point of an ambiguous relationship that you don't move to Spain?
me: Well, uh, yeah, but it wasn't that kind of ambiguous relationship, I mean, it was pretty clear that they felt the same about each other, but --
coworker 1: -- well, yeah, but that doesn't mean that he wanted her to move to Spain.
I backtrack out of the conversation as quickly as possible, but still feel pretty certain that we have uncovered an essential truth.
did i ever see this before???????????
ReplyDeleteugh suicide = only option
also important to note: i didnt actually ever articulate that i was moving to spain to be with him, but left the reasoning ambiguous also.
so end result = tg that didnt happen.
