    Being in a relationship means you can come home and totally info-dump unguarded about whatever weird thing you’re contemplating and the person opposite you will be happy you’re there and delighted that you’re happy or sad with you if you’re sad. It also means you do this for the other person with genuine interest. I don’t call that “small talk”.

      This is it.

      My wife comes home and fires on all cylinders about her day. Then I share how much my one coworker sucks and what they did today.

      Then we wonder about the heat death of the universe.
