Does it have to be explicit? I’m thinking about the friend who is constantly griping about something, and their friends have a vague notion that there is some inevitable threshold where they will “have to talk about this if it continues” but it’s not explicit or specific what that conversation will entail.
”I wish Alan would stop going on about his ex-girlfriend” “They only broke up a week ago, just let him grieve, but if it gets any worse we’ll have to say something” ”What will we say?” “I don’t know” ”I don’t know either, but if he doesn’t stop, I won’t be able to bite my tongue”
