You know when you have some cereal and leave the bowl and spoon in the sink without rinsing them off? Then, later on you decide to have a second bowl and you don’t want to go through more dishes, so you just rinse the bowl and spoon off quickly. But there’s that ring of hardened milk and cereal scum on the bottom of the spoon; maybe with a little crust of corn flake stuck in. And every time you stick it in your mouth it’s just gross, but you’re still too lazy to go and get a new spoon or clean the one you have. So you eat the cereal anyway, but it’s really not satisfying and you feel like you’ve become a total slob who’s lost control of their life.
Yeah. That pretty well sums up this relationship right about now.
