Couple Knows Each Other Well Enough to do Some Serious Emotional Damage

Having been through so much together, couple Kelly Marshall (COL ’17) and Jimmy O’Reilly (COL ’17) have reached the point where each of them could, if they decided to, unleash some serious, long lasting emotional damage on one another. “We have been through so much together that we both have the ability to deliver a crushing blow to each other’s psyche. The only thing keeping us together may very well be the implicit ‘Mutually Assured Destruction’ relationship we have built,” O’Reilly commented, adding that even the smallest tension, perhaps even just one sub-par sexual encounter, could set off emotional fallout that would surely lead to misery and, if conditions are perfect, therapy.  Said Marshall, “I just know my honeybear so well. I know how he scrunches his nose when he laughs, or how he sings along every time he hears Billy Joel. I also know how I could cite a childhood trauma as a reason for suddenly breaking up with him, leading to an anxiety attack so severe that he may never actually love again.”  At press time, Kelly and Jimmy were seen holding hands on a bench near the Jefferson Memorial, affectionately staring at each other and scanning for insecurities they could some day exploit.
