We were living together in New York and I'd come home after a long day and was 'in a mood.' He was cooking dinner and I was just acting miserable. He threw down the spoon he was using to stir the sauce and exclaimed, 'I can't do this anymore. I can't deal with you and your moods. It's exhausting. It's draining.'
