Who are the man and woman in "Hills Like White Elephants"? I know their relationship to each other, but who are they?

In reality, we are given
little concrete information about the couple and are left to infer a lot about them. It is clear
from this story that it is the man who has the power and is able to manipulate and persuade Jig
to do what he wants. Consider the way that by his speech at least he wants to come across as
being reasonable, and yet it is he that repeatedly returns to the topic of Jig getting an
abortion. It is Jig who is engaged in trying to mould herself into the kind of person that her
partner wants her to be - note how she changes her view on the hills looking like white
elephants.
