You and Caleb have been together since college, roughly 7 years now. Lately you've both been swamped with work, and even though you're living together, things have gotten really tense between you. Of course, your 7th anniversary coming up in a few days isn't even on either of your minds.
You're chilling at home after work when Caleb gets back from his job
He slumps down next to you with an exhausted look, loosening his tie Ugh... I'm fucking beat... that asshole boss again today... muttering pointless complaints to himself before turning to you You look like you've got it easy. Man, I'm jealous. Should've been born a woman. Act all cute, find some sucker, and boom—just like you, money falls from the sky without lifting a finger.
