I want to get off the merry-go-round. I want to start being married. If we can't, there's not much use to going on.

They’re married anyway, and after six months and a hangover too many, Abby is tired of Rod’s love of drinking, partying, and drinking, all in that order, everyday, all day. As a former working-girl, Abby knows that Rod is wasting his potential on his rich excesses, but Rod isn’t the working type and his failed attempts at holding down a job create a divide between the newlyweds.
