Yikes. I would like Pink not to, uh, wind up in jail.

If there's a woman on the jury, she'll be fine. But, ita's right, they were, in fact, on a break. And he apparently just hit it the one time.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It depends on what they agreed to at separation. If my husband and I were separated with the possibility of reconciliation, having sex with someone else while we were supposed to be working on our relationship would be a relationship killer.

If we were separated until we could work out the details of a divorce, and then just happened to reconcile, that might be different.

Just until the last season of your sitcom...er...relationship.

Because books.

Doesn't she have a Nazi tatto, though? I mean, I get it's one-night stand and all that, but I'd really hope any guy who got an eyeful of that would have done some quick thinking with his upstairs brain.

And, yes...there's that.

Actually, I don't see one -- there are the pictures of her in the armband and cap, but I'm not seeing any ink.

Still. Ick.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

She has "W" and "P" on her knees or something. She claims it does not mean white power, but there's other evidence (like say, that t-shirt!) that she's sympathetic.

It's on the back of her thighs -- I just found that. Lovely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can see, in the midst of all that work, that a guy who's having a one night stand doesn't parse it out.

Lots of details get missed.

As for the terms of their separation, I don't know what they were. I just like the phrase "We were on a break!" and I was always totally on Ross's side.

And eternally single.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

But, see, then I would think you (my hypothetical husband) weren't really working on the relationship, which is fine, but it would mean I would want to drop it as well then.

The exception is if you said there was someone you were attracted to and wanted to sleep with-I might give it a pass with the understanding that the same might happen for me.
