A deceit is easy. A betrayal is bold-faced, italicized, underlined. It is something to argue about. To cry over. To work through. How do two people untangle the uglier hidden gray mess of uncorrected slights and poorly buried resentments? How do you shut up and take the silence? How do you reach out when every part of you is screaming, "This is unfair. I should be comforted. I should be held. I should be reached out to"?

Do they hope a shared house, a shared bank account, a shared child will stave off the dark? That what to do with the extra gravy boat will give them respite from the leaden specter of these possibilities?
