Sean: Damn
Kate: ?
Sean: I just don't get people sometimes.
Kate: What happened?
Sean: I have this thing with Karen that I told you about and she's still mad. And I tried to talk this out with with her, I told her like all the things you told me to say and still nothing.
Kate: But you guys are talking to each other right? Just in general.
Sean: Yeah, I mean she's not angry. She's just like... kinda quiet and sad and I think she's still holding a grudge or something.
Kate: Ok, so when you say you wanna talk about what happened, what does she say? 
Sean: "There's nothing left to talk about."
Kate: And what do you reply?
Sean: I say that there's still visibly something wrong and I don't like seeing her this way and I want us to talk about our problems. 
Kate: And she says...?
Sean: That it's all ok and I shouldn't worry. And it just seems so passive-aggressive, you know. And believe me I tried that several times and wvery time she just doesn't want to talk about it. 
Kate: Hm.. maybe just give her some time. Maybe rationally she knows everything's ok, but she just can't let go of these emotions. Btw you have said you're sorry, right?
Sean: Man, like a 1000 times. I don't know maybe it'll just pass.
Kate: Hope so. Keep me posted. 
Sean: Sure thing. 
Sean can't figure out why Karen won't talk to him about their problem.
