They met onstage. He was the playwright, and she was the star. She played a beautiful doomed woman with wild mood swings.
When they moved in together, he discovered that her mood swings offstage were just as extreme. She was either in a rapture or in a rage, deliriously happy or borderline suicidal. There was nothing in between.
“You know she’ll never change,” his friend said.
“Yes,” he said, “I know.”
“So then, why do you stay?”
“The drama,” he said.
Later, after he ended it, his friend asked, “So, what made you finally break it off?”
“The drama,” he said.
