The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJack and Sally have just said they are splitting up. Later that night, Gabe and Judy are still awake, turning the news inward: Would we ever break up? Do you still want me? Why won't you have another child? Gossip about their friends slides into sex, trust, and a dry line about being stuck with one another. The movie stops watching other marriages and starts interrogating this one.

It means you have no better option than each other. Judy uses it as dry humor.
What is this late-night Husbands and Wives talk about?
After friends split, Judy asks if they'd break up, have a baby, still desire each other.
What does that's just bullshit attack here?
