A few years ago, I told my girlfriend at the time that we should try different things. I said that during our movie nights, where we sit in front of the TV with a big bowl of popcorn. Prior to that, I brought up how we should get a bigger screen, and a more comfy sofa.
Midway through the movie, she's crying. I thought it was about the movie.
At the end of the movie, she seemed different. I asked her if she was okay, and she said she's been emotional over my statement of "trying different things" with seeing other people.
My poor girlfriend spent half a movie thinking we were breaking up! I was literally talking about improving our movie experience!
Anyways we're married and we did improve our movie experience.
Turned out to be not so catastrophic in the end!
Ah I guess I didn't fully read the prompt.
Well we have kids so now I'm kinda broke all the time.
Oh boy I feel you on that one.
Maybe... she kind of knew (even subconsciously) all the time, but found a way to reassure how much you two liked each other. Can't blame her, it worked and made good for both
