"Fuck Roman maybe if you weren't such a crybaby this would have never happened" Neera flailed her arms.
Roman sunk into his shoulders and looked to the ground.

Neera grew a bit uncomfortable seeing him cry, so she stormed to their room and shut the door.
"You're sleeping on the couch from now on" she yelled
Roman was about to say something back but he clenched his fist and fell back onto the couch and began sobbing into his pillow.
Their relationship had started to fall apart because of jealousy on Roman's part and lack of communication on Neera's part. They promised this would never happen but here they were living in a broken promise.
