I have two choices here: I’m despicable either for the the past five years, or the next forty.

Description:

This Nick Galifianakis cartoon was originally published on March 18, 2012 for the feature Carolyn Hax: Tell Me About It in The Washington Post and other syndicated newspapers. The illustration shows a man struggling to tell a woman that though they’ve been together for years and made plans to marry, he no longer loves her…but is still willing to spend the rest of his life with her out of guilt so that her expectations and sacrifice will not have been wasted.
