It isn't.

You're married.

And you're up.

When he travels,

not only am i lonely,

I don't even know

who i am by myself.

You don't?

No. You know, like

when you're with a guy...

Not just for a night but really with,

like a husband or a boyfriend,

And you keep reinventing yourself to be

the perfect woman for that relationship.

Yeah, right, right.

I don't know.

If i took time before or between,

You know, to find out

who i really am by myself,

Who i could be, you know,

without any guy around...

I know i'm in here

somewhere.

I can hear myself

screaming from a distance.

Does mickey know

you feel this way?

I just don't think mickey would

understand it in the right way.

Things just weren't

comfortable anymore.

For either of them. It was like

they were pretending to be married.

It was sad because they were married

and they were both very lonely.

Aw, gee.

Brushless carwash.

Mario's pizza town.

Laundry world.

They decided to get help. They

went to a marriage counselor.

First of all, let me

explain my philosophy.

The way i see it,

marriage is simply a form of legalized rape.

Mickey thought they should see someone else,

doctors don and debbie.

If you miss me so much,

why aren't you happy when i come home?

I know you're going

to leave again.

I'm going to leave,

so let's not have a good time while i'm home?

Now it's my fault that we

don't have a good time?

When i come home,

i'm excited to see you.You're not excited, mickey.

You're horny.Is that such a bad thing?

When do you two get involved?

When there's gunplay?

I just want it to always

be like that week in paris.

It can't be

like that, mickey.

I know.

So finally, things

weren't getting any better.

So, ellen did

what she had to do.

Ellen?

Hi! You're

back already?

Yeah. Where were you?

Wichita.

I left you a note.

Yeah, well, i...

i just got here.Oh.

Where's your father?

Wichita.

What's he doin' there?

I left him with my brothers.

Really? Oh, mickey.

I want this to work.

Oh, i love you.

Honey, i'm sorry.

I didn't mean anything.

Oh... oh, no, no.

Me too. Me too.

I was just crying about mickey and ellen.

It's so sweet the way she came back.

Why does every woman

you're with end up crying?

She's not...

You know, the referee.Very nice to meet ya.

- I've heard a lot about you.

- Uh-Oh.
