Sooooo…yeah. I dated someone once who was brilliant in some ways, and not in others, but I very much loved them still, though our intellectual conversations were kept to a minimum.

After watching a particularly violent Western movie where a lot of horses were injured, shot, or killed, she seemed kind of disturbed. She was dead quiet after leaving the theater, and just seemed like she was thinking through it all and processing the story.

Halfway through the drive home, out of nowhere she says “Where do all the horses go?”

The question kind of threw me, and waited a second to process what she had just asked me. I thought I misheard her, and there was a noticably uncomfortable gap in me reply.

“What? How do you mean?”

“Where do all the horses go after the movie? Like, what do they do with all the dead horses?”

In that moment, I froze, and I started to kind of chuckle as I thought she was making a joke. Then I realized the was serious. A 30-year old was asking me this question. A self-admitted movie buff, she called herself.

It was then that I knew this relationship wasn’t viable long-term.
