Nothing kills the romance like a crystallographer in your bed. While normal people worry about relationship issues, this poor woman's partner is lying awake contemplating why reciprocal lattice space is denoted by G (for "grid") instead of R (for "reciprocal"). This is the kind of midnight crisis that haunts materials scientists and solid-state physicists everywhere. The notation G has been tormenting graduate students since 1913, and apparently ruining perfectly good relationships too.
