He tries to pull her out of her depression while ignoring all her points on why she is sad/worried/scared. Man is excited to be released from the shackles of modern life while still exploiting the benefits of it - free food, goods, home, cars, etc. She is still doing the dishes, though! She's still making the tea of course! ![]() On holiday in Iceland.īut the woman is distraught at the loss of friends and family, is going through a religious crisis and is on the brink of major depression.
