Step 3 - The Dirty Truth

By now, you've managed to avoid your in-laws' phone calls for a few days. Congratulations! You've reached the point of no return. The point where you're forced to confront the fact that your spouse is secretly a robot programmed to love them, and you're just a mere mortal who will eventually be replaced by a shiny new toaster.

Don't bother trying to deny it, the evidence is overwhelming:

• Your spouse's love for them is way too obvious
• They've been brainwashing you with free meals and awkward small talk
• And let's be real, you're probably just a spare part to be upgraded for a newer, more efficient model

But don't worry, it's not all bad! You can still find ways to cope with this existential crisis:

Just remember, it's not about you, it's about the algorithms that control their behavior. You're just a pawn in their game of Simulated Reality.

So go ahead, take a deep breath, and try to find the inner peace within yourself. Or, you know, just pretend you're still in control, and try to deny everything.

It's your call.
