A more descriptive version of a sticky situation. "Between a rock and a hard place" doesn't really cut it when a situation is not only difficult, but upsetting and/or infuriating.
"I really don't know what to do. My girlfriend thinks I can't commit, and wants me to go meet her mother. If I don't go, she's going to break up with me. But if I do go to the meeting, her mother will likely remember that one night stand I had with her a year ago--and that's really going to be trouble. I'm really between a turd and a wet place here."
