“Oh!” Joey laughs. “And you’re not.”
I have no reply to that. “I’m not saying stick it out with him if it’s not working,” Joey tells me. “God knows, if you’re better off without him, then fine. You can’t force a relationship. But you can’t expect it to come without some effort on your part, either.”
Bitterly, I mutter, “And you know this because you’re in a wonderful relationship…oh wait! You’re not dating anyone, I forgot.”
