Love: Resentment or Cheese?

I saw a young couple at Ralphs. It’s freaking hilarious and sad to watch couples shop for groceries. Have you ever? I can tell how long they’ve been together and what’s going on in their relationship just by how they decide which cheese to buy. They are so rude and disrespectful to one another, aren’t they? They bicker and make a federal case out of anything, even something so simple as cheese. It’s just cheese people. The difference between cheddar and jack does not require a hostile exchange of desperate one-upping and sarcastic one-liners, disrespectful criticism that have nothing to do with dairy. But I get it. It’s not about the cheese is it? It’s about what he or she did two months ago that was completely offensive and never resolved. If only they had the skills to communicate and resolve those issues, they would realize that resentment is not cheddar cheese.
