When my now wife spoke of her "two unmarried aunts who live together in the same bedroom", I wasn't expecting that they were sisters who just kept living together in the same bedroom with different beds on either side of the room, even splitting it sitcom style with a clearly defined line down the center, for 60 years.
And when I explained to her that my friends "aunts" are not actually sisters, they are in fact lesbians who have been together since long before marriage was legal and now just don't see the point in a piece of paper when they've spent the last 35 years together, she had her own moment of realization.
I explained about Sappho and her friend, how that was basically what you had to be among older generations that had to hide it, just roommates. Then promptly showed her that video.
What video? Pls, Im stupid
You're only stupid when you stop being curious.

city street, woman walks by talking on the phone
voice fading in "And they were roommates!"
