Less Complicated Than A Key Party: Couples All Over America Fucking, Fighting Along At Home With 'Tell Me You Love Me'

Less Complicated Than A Key Party: Couples All Over America Fucking, Fighting Along At Home With 'Tell Me You Love Me'
While we've previously confessed that we've been watching ing-crazed HBO melodrama Tell Me You Love just to see the different sexual positions into which the producers will twist their neurotic, anatomically correct mannequins each week, there are some viewers who are so affected by the show's profound insights into the whiny-human condition that they're moved to examine their own dysfunctional relationships. ABC News sought out some horny yuppies who recognize themselves in Tell Me's characters, asking them to elaborate on the complex feelings the series stirs up:

Fain Sutter, a 38-year-old Internet developer who has been married for nine years, has been a faithful viewer of the first four episodes. But his wife, a hedge fund analyst, refuses to watch the show with him.

The couple, both 38 and parents, recently had an explosive argument over the show with friends.



"She finds it too depressing," said Sutter. "But the writing is insightful and hits on so many issues that are relevant. You see similarities in your own life and in the relationships of friends. There are definitely a lot of layers."

"We fight over it," he said. "I tend to like shows that are very introspective and make you look at yourself and your life. But some people are turned off by stuff that's too raw like that."



It's not hard to see why his wife might be put off by his obsession with the show, as the characters closest to their age are the only ones not copulating like weasels dipped in Spanish Fly at every act break, enduring an utterly depressing, yearlong dry spell induced by the libido-dampening drudgery of parenthood. Then again, if Tell Me holds any message for its viewers, it's that even the most explosive of disagreements can be momentarily put aside in favor of some good, old-fashioned, make-sure-you-tell-that-therapist- how-good-I-just-gave-it-to-you screwing.
