That's not the issue here.

Well, what is the issue?!

Go ahead.

Say it!

I don't think my leaving you

is going to destroy your life.

I think it's hard, brutal,

Insulting, painful,

whatever the f*** you want,

But I don't think

for a second it'll destroy you.

I think that's just something

You're telling yourself

so you can comfortably

Play the part of the victim.

Well, fine.

Go ahead.

Wrap yourself up in it.

If that's what you think,

You're right.

We should quit talking.

You have absolutely

no way of knowing how I feel.

It's pretty outrageous

of you to accuse me

Of playing the victim

When you're the one

who's always complaining

About your life.

Poor Gary... Too much work,

too much stress,

Too many business trips.

He doesn't even have the guts

to talk about our relationship.

Why won't you just admit that

You're leaving me because

you can't stand me anymore?

Yes.

That's a part of it.

Then say it.

God damn it.

Have the courage to say what

You feel for once!

Okay, I'll say it!

I'm leaving because I can't take

My life anymore... My work life

And my life with you.

I can't take this permanent

State of war anymore!

I can't...

I can't take you anymore.

See?

This is directed against me.

The garage called.

Your car will be ready tomorrow.

What should I do?

I don't need two cars.

Do what you ever you want.

Maybe you could sell it

or... do what you want.

What about your mail?

The bills?

McCullan

will take care of that.

Don't worry about the bills.

He'll take care of everything.

Oh.

I forgot.

Mr. Peacock said he's retiring

Next year.

He came to prune

the Ro... Roses this morning.

Oh, Gary... we don't need

all these things.

We don't need a gardener.

If that's the problem,

we can change.

- You could quit working.

- Beth...

We can just live off

my salary and sell the house.

Beth...

Look, we can change everything

if we put our minds to it.

You said it yourself.

People can change.

Beth... it's too late.

I'm exhausted, Elisabeth.

It's very early here.

What am I gonna

tell the children?

I have to tell them something.

What am I gonna say to them?

I don't know.

Tell them the truth.

Even if it's hard.

The truth?

What truth?

I'm not sure

I understand myself.

Just tell them

we can't do it anymore.

I can't keep living

my life like this.

I feel like...

a lump of sugar dissolving

at the bottom of a cup.

That's it?

"Your father won't be coming

Home because...

Because he thinks he's

dissolving like a lump of sugar."

Yes.

What are you dreaming about?

- What?

- What were you dreaming about?

I don't really know.

There's a party tomorrow.

Want to come?

Whose party?
