ESL Conversation about Relationships and Dating

Samantha: Hey, did you hear the news Tony?

Tony: No, what’s up?

Samantha: Debbie and Brad Snyder got divorced.

Tony: You’re kidding? That’s terrible news. They were the model couple.

Samantha: Yes, I couldn’t believe my ears. It’s a real shame, isn’t it?

Tony: Well, it shows you that not everything is what it seems.

Samantha: Yes, it sure does. Those poor kids must be devastated.

Tony: Yes, I’m sure it will be tough on them, but they are great kids, and they will be okay.

Samantha: I suppose you are right. Their kids are really well behaved. They are always really respectful.

Tony: Yes, they really are. They have done a great job raising those kids. When did you hear that?

Samantha: Janet told me a couple of days ago. They’ve been separated for a while now.

Tony: Wow, I never would have guessed it. I bumped into Brad a couple of months ago, but he never mentioned a thing.

Samantha: Yes, they tried to work it out for a while. They were going to counseling for months.

Tony: What a bummer. I guess they just couldn’t agree to disagree on some things.

Samantha: No, I guess not. Well as they say, I guess there are a lot of fish in the sea, right?

Tony: Yes, I hope they both find someone new and it all works out.
