nothing
unless you're secretly my husband in disguise
it's just
felt like i should say something
to the inlaw

[slightlyoffchilt]

This is why it's difficult to take your agony seriously. I know you're only indulging your coping mechanism, but really. I am trying to help.

[aggressiveapathy]

i don't know if i believe you
so
analyze that if you want

[slightlyoffchilt]

You accuse me of insincerity at a time like this?

[aggressiveapathy]

you're surprised?

[slightlyoffchilt]

It illuminates what a low opinion you must have of me.

[aggressiveapathy]

didn't answer the question
not like i do, yeah yeah
but
still

[slightlyoffchilt]

I don't know if he is coming back or not, I cannot know. But of course I can make the time for you, if you need someone to talk to. Or perhaps just someone to listen to you.

[aggressiveapathy]

what kind of talk
doctor patient stuff
or other kind

[slightlyoffchilt]

The doctor-patient context that would, inevitably, include whatever other kind. I imagine.

[aggressiveapathy]

pass

[slightlyoffchilt]

Your loss.

I'm only trying to help you in the way I know best.

[aggressiveapathy]

i don't need a shrink
try...weird in-law
instead

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am not the Uncle Fester to your thing with Will.

[aggressiveapathy]

i'm not your patient

[slightlyoffchilt]

Maybe we ought to list what we are to each other, then. That might make it somewhat easier.

Or at least, comprehensible.

[aggressiveapathy]

just not that

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why are you so disdainful of analysis? This is my foremost method of communication.

[aggressiveapathy]

because we're not doctor and patient
why can't you talk to me like the weird relationship we are

[slightlyoffchilt]

I like structure, April. Defined structure. That lends credulity to our conversation.

[aggressiveapathy]

life is chaos
it's not my life goal to make you comfy
talk to me like a person or go back to work

[slightlyoffchilt]

Do you have to grieve so cruelly?

[aggressiveapathy]

i'm not grieving
you do that for dead people

[slightlyoffchilt]

Or for loss in general.

At least, normal people do.

[aggressiveapathy]

there's no loss
he's coming back
and you're seriously the worst
i don't even know why i texted
