If your night was anything like mine it was a battle of the remote to watch the best show on television right now, Offspring, and the State of Origin (pfft football).
If you missed it – and SPOILER ALERT – Nina meets the male version of herself, Leo, while killing time at the airport. Leo’s flight to Adelaide is delayed, and Nina is waiting to pick up her father and his new wife from their honeymoon.
Two drinks later Leo, played by Canberra-born actor Patrick Brammall, asks Nina if she would like to come back to his hotel room.
What happens next is one of the most accurate portrayals of casual (or committed) sex we’ve ever seen on tv.
It was a drawn out, undeniably awkward, cringe worthy, hard-to-watch scene that didn’t end in a five second orgasm from the female lead. But that’s not what everyone is talking about this morning; it’s whether or not Nina has moved on from Patrick too soon.
Oh, and if you haven’t seen Offspring before, I need to interject myself at this point to tell you that regular viewers like myself tend to talk about Offspring characters like we know them in real life. OK?

I just wish she'd told Leo why she was leaving!!! The poor guy.
I began a relationship 6 mths after I split from ex husband, and my then bf's wife had passed away 6 mths earlier... Didn't work out because it was too soon for both of us, but it was also good for both of us!
