I think this is a lot more modern day relationships than we'd like to admit... So sad. I know Kelso nailed the truth about mine. "You love me because I’m the only woman who was ever nice to you. That’s not love, that’s gratitude. Well, I’ve had it up to here with your gratitude.

I can totally relate to this passage. Women, stop being so awesome you cloud our creativity! :P "Not long ago, I was so certain she was the cure. I tell her I have an illness and that I want to die alone. But she won’t hear it. She tries to fill my life with hope and reassurances that a cure is on the horizon. I cannot write."
