How many people still have that relationship with their ex, where you call each other up just to yell? It's like you're married: You're not having sex, and you're fighting.

In this stand-up style observation, Tran jokes about the paradox of staying emotionally entangled with an ex: the romantic bond is over, yet the conflict and habitual contact remain. By comparing the dynamic to a stereotypically unhappy marriage—"not having sex, and you're fighting"—she highlights how some post-breakup relationships preserve the worst parts of intimacy (obligation, resentment, reactive communication) without the affection or connection that once justified closeness. The humor sharpens a critique of unresolved attachment: calling “just to yell” suggests that anger can become a substitute for closeness, keeping both people stuck in a relationship that has effectively ended.
