There can be no argument from anyone, anywhere, that relationships are hard. There are ups and downs, things get rough, and if you’re lucky and you work hard, they get better.
Finding someone who is willing to stay, and to love you, through those tough times is one of the biggest asks on the planet, so you can imagine why the woman overhearing this conversation got super involved super fast.
It began with a couple having a very serious and private conversation in a public place.
Part 1
Oooff. Overhearing this relationship in trouble on the shuttle bus and the guy just told the girl, "I love you and I want to make us work but you're mean AS FUCK and it's wearing me down."
She's just looking at him like she knows he's right but doesn't know what to do about it.

Part 2
Her: "You're not perfect at all and it feels like you don't know that."
Him: "I do know that and I'm always working on it I fail, I know. A lot. But it just seems like you don't know how to talk through how you feel with me and you're too old to not know how to talk me"
Damn

Things got honest, and real, and raw.
Part 3
Her: "I know I get really angry –"
Him: "No, you blackout. And you won't go to therapy and I can't live like this forever."

Part 4
Her: "It feels like whatever is wrong with me…like, I'll always be like this and I've tried to work on my anger issues and I'm still like this. I know you deserve someone better than this"
Him: I want a better YOU not someone else. Whatever is wrong I want to fix it
A KEEPER

They’ll make you really want them to make it.
Part 7
She's crying and leaning against his chest (I'm bad with numbers but he's at least 6'1") and he's carrying the bag from Whole Foods and wrapping an arm around her
Him: "I love you [nickname]. And I know that you love me I just…am tired of fighting you. I want to love you."

Part 8
Her: "Therapy just makes me feel like I'm failing all of the time and you don't…I know I don't communicate my feelings…I didn't grow up with that and I had to teach myself. I know I go off, believe me. I just… what if therapy won't work for me? What if i'm just angry."

Part 9
Her: "When I scream at you I am so ashamed of myself. I don't know if there isn't a night that I get out of bed and cry and just hate myself."
Him: "I feel helpless because I don't want to be screamed at and I feel like I can't help you and I just have to experience it."

Part 10
Him: "I can deal with the occasional screaming if you're unlearning and you're trying to be better. I know you're not going to change overnight."
Her: "Why are you even still with me?"
He's going into his wallet omgosh what's happening

And then this, to top it off.
Part 11
Him: "You remember this?"
Her: "I can't believe you still have that [laughs], that's crazy"
Him: "I don't really give a shit about the ballet but you did and you wanted to see Misty Copeland and you you were sooo into it and even b/c you did I wanted to go.
— No Quarter Will Be Given (@chaedria) December 1, 2019
Part 12
Him: "Never in life have I ever wanted to go see the ballet that bad. I wanted to make you happy. I don't know [NN] but ever since I've met you I just want to make you happy. If I could go inside of you and put a bandaid where you're hurt I would."

Part 13
Him: "I just want you to be happy and to be with me and have children with me."
She's crying.
Her: "God where are we?"

It sounds like things ended on the right foot, but…
Part 14
Him: "He says we're close. We'll just get off at the next stop"
Her: "Okay. Let's order thai."
Him: "Sure. But I want to talk about this because by the end of the week I need you to make an appt somewhere. Would it help if I went with you?"

Part 15
Her: " I don't know. I think so? I don't know where to look I mean that's the thing no one can find a good therapist in NY."
Him: I'll ask my mom if she has any recommendations I mean she has to right?
— No Quarter Will Be Given (@chaedria) December 1, 2019
Part 16
Her: "Don't tell your mom she already thinks I'm crazy"
Him: She does but she likes you and she told me to not bring anyone home that I'm not marrying so I gotta make "you" work…did you get the umbrella?"
THEY'RE LEAVING US

Words out on whether or not they’ll let us know, but man… I really hope they do.
