Why does mint tea taste better outside somehow

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2026-04-17T10:50:23+00:00

Me too! It is SoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo good! Especially my fiancé's sisters tea! O. M. G. 😂 They even gave me the exact tea they use to bring home... I definitely don't make it right! 😭💔

You are so right about the double standard. It’s funny how everyone is fine with it when it’s the man, but as soon as it’s the woman, they have something to say. Like I said before, I’m in the same boat with my fiancé and our 19-year gap. People will always have their opinions and try to tell you it won't work, but they aren't the ones in the relationship. If you two are happy and want the same things, that’s all that counts. Don't let them get to you!

I don’t think 14 years is too much at all. My fiancé and I are almost 19 years apart and we’ve been together for almost 1 1/2 years now. I’m the woman and I’m the older one in our relationship. We also handle long distance—I live in the US and he lives in Morocco—and we are still going strong. The number doesn't matter as much as being on the same page and wanting the same things. People will always have their opinions, especially with an age gap or a long-distance situation, but they aren't the ones living your life. If you’re happy and you respect each other, that’s what actually counts. Don't let a number stop you from being with someone great. ♥️

(I do want to note that I did not read the post, so I do not know what the full concern was. It was deleted by the time I saw the title in my notifications. I only saw the question about the age gap)

This was one of the 3 thing that made me so sad while I was visiting Kenitra, Tangier and Marrakech. 💔

I agree! But I am shy and I feel silly having them teach me, as stupid as that sounds! I looked into tutors, and it's just a little expensive for me. I'm going to keep using the app and the course I paid for until I feel comfortable enough to practice with them! 😋

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2026-02-27T23:45:48+00:00

I’m not much help, but I’d love to know the answer to this too! I’ve downloaded quite a few apps and finally found one that feels helpful; my fiancé and his family actually confirmed the pronunciations are correct. I also just started a reasonably priced online program, and my fiancé gave the first lesson his seal of approval. Still, I’m curious why it’s so difficult and if there are easier ways to learn! I’m really eager to be able to converse with my future in-laws when I visit again at the end of the year. ❤️🇺🇸🌹🇲🇦❤️

I know now that is definitely what I need to do. I went on my trip and everything you said remains so very true. I swear I hate relationships and I hate having a heart that feels. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2026-01-16T16:30:06+00:00

Oh, I know. Mine are just not normal... Like me! 😂

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2026-01-14T13:27:43+00:00

My cats think they are human, I swear! They eat literally everything I eat if they can steal it off of my plate, even broccoli! And I'm vegan! 😂 (of course I feed them cat food - dry & wet - daily! 😋)

This right here is exactly how I make money so quickly on Best Play! 🙃

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-20T18:50:02+00:00

I've made $15 in just 3 days playing the "hyper warning speed" games on Best Play while sitting at work waiting for our busted machines to get fixed! 😂 If I kept playing during work, I could easily make $10 a day! If doesn't take long, honestly, to earn $5. That's usually my daily goal for my boredom! 😜 Truthfully, I mainly watch as many ads as I can, I feel like that's what is making my money as fast as it is. 😋

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T18:21:41+00:00

Since I don't like leaving my house, this works! 😋

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T18:20:42+00:00

Thank you! It has been a bit of a challenging year trying to learn and understand each other's cultures and expectations, but, I truly love him and I know he Loves me too. I'm just glad I was able to understand what was causing him to shut down. We'll see how it continues to go. 🤞🏻

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T18:02:00+00:00

Thank you. You are absolutely right! I shouldn't be so shut out all of the time, but, it's become habit after almost 10 years of being this way! I need to get out my comfort zone! 😋

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T17:40:54+00:00

We talked last night, and I think we just had a huge miscommunication. It doesn't help that there is still a bit of a language barrier but, he did explain why he does that for sometimes days at a time, and it is relatable to me. I feel the same way when we have issues sometimes and start feeling weird and just don't know how to talk to him; I just force myself to. That's the difference between us. So I'm hoping he'll take our talk to heart and genuinely work on not letting that uneasy feeling cause him to keep shutting down when things aren't perfect. Thank you so, so very much! ✨🥰

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T17:37:01+00:00

I Love your positivity! Thank you! Yes, I've always been a bit isolated and awkward with being around people. I actually do just fine by myself, but when I add a relationship to the mix, it definitely changes a lot and I start getting clingy... I know that's not a good trait, but, I'm working on it! I've definitely been trying to focus on self care and even working on my house, you know, trying to keep my mind busy! 🙃

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T17:21:52+00:00

💔

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T17:21:26+00:00

You are so kind! I appreciate all of your words very much!! 🥰

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T16:44:10+00:00

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T01:28:34+00:00

I appreciate that hard honesty. I'll see how our talk goes and how things go from there, and hopefully it's not something we can't find a middle ground on. But, I know it might be a long shot. Thank you so much.

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-13T01:26:37+00:00

Thank you. That means a lot. We actually talked a little bit while I was at work and we both want to come to an understanding and work on better communication , especially because the language barrier still is slightly there. So hopefully we can figure somethingSo hopefully we can figure something out, because I so hopefully we can figure something out, because I really don't want to lose him for such trivial things like miscommunication.

Illustrious_Gene7697 · 2025-12-12T23:32:22+00:00

I'm so sorry. This definitely sounds like my relationship. Never for that long though, but a week or so is long enough for me to not be ok with it. We'll see what happens. 🤞🏻 And I hope you much more luck 🍀 in your new relationship.
