language

Some things people say do not mean what you think they mean.
“I think we should see other people”
Means:
I think _I_ should see other people.
And by “Other people”
I mean:
“Lots of people, in fact, probably quite a few people you know”
And by “see”
I mean:
“Have sex with, frequently”
And by “I think”
I mean:
“I have been”
So: “I think we should see other people”
Means, in fact,
“I have been having sex, frequently, with lots of other people, in fact, probably quite a few people you know”.
