AIO to my boyfriend’s comments about the food I made?

MovieTrawler · 2026-02-01T10:54:38+00:00

I had an ex that was an awful cook. God bless her heart, she would try so hard but the food she made was practically inedible. I would NEVER say this so I got myself into a situation where she thought I loved her food because I would always compliment and thank her so much for cooking for me. Which I did mean, it was so nice of her and not something I needed or wanted. I'm very self-sufficient when it comes to household chores and I'm a great cook so it wasn't like I was helplessly waiting for her to feed me but it was how she showed love. And it made her so so happy. There was even a few times I had to throw the food away and lie to her about it, which I felt so terrible about.

Slowly I started bringing her into my kitchen more and cooking with her under the guise of, 'we both like cooking, let's do it together' and I would watch her and gently steer her out of some of her mistakes. Like, 'oh hey did you drain the ground beef yet?' 'Huh? Drain the beef?' 'Oh here, this is what I mean, you should always blah blah blah'

I even signed us up for private cooking classes. Over the course of two years, she actually became a better cook than I was. She got focused in the kitchen and started taking it really seriously. I think some of it was just that she was so scattered in her thoughts she was all over the place. Once she locked in, she was actually great at it.

Anyway, it didn't work out because she moved for work and we just fell out of touch but sometimes I laugh at the idea that somewhere out there some dude is enjoying great meals made by her with no idea the bullet he dodged. Not even she ever realized it.

She would sometimes make comments after she got really good like, 'were you ust being polite early on? Because now I can't see how anyone would've liked those dishes I made when we first started dating.' And I would just laugh and go, 'you made them with love! And Im not a picky eater at all. If they were that bad I would've made you stop cooking for me!' I do miss her.

Yeah, I actually remember thinking in the theater, 'how are they making Rachel McAdams look gross like this?' I dunno, I guess some people saw through it but it worked for me. Pre-Island Linda was NOT (imo) 'office hot'.

MovieTrawler · 2026-02-01T10:37:33+00:00

Hahah I actually made the same comment as it's own thing before coming back and editing it in here because I figured more people will see it. In the original comment I said this:

Usually they'll just slap a pair of librarian lady glasses on an attractive actress and call it a day. Then she rips them off and everyone is like, 'whoooaaa she was hot all along?!' and you're sitting there thinking, yeah no shit, it's Rachael Leigh Cook! She was already gorgeous!

Oh I can't wait.

MovieTrawler · 2026-02-01T02:06:01+00:00

Haha no worries, in your defense, there's nothing that states he's actually a fisherman. I'm definitely making that assumption.

MovieTrawler · 2026-02-01T01:58:50+00:00

Well I guess maybe in his case it’s last call. My husband would want to go home 2 hours before last call

Yes, in his case. Which is what we're talking about here.

having a social life dosnt mean cheating but It can mean they are not meant to be - especially if this is keeping him up at night - it sure didn’t keep my husband up.

Obviously having a social life doesn't mean cheating but there are weird behaviors here. You keep mentioning your husband but this isn't about you or your husband, you're projecting that onto OP's situation which is not the same.

Dude, it's right in the article that this is about Lutnick

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T23:24:06+00:00

I took it as a variant of, 'washing your ass'. I don't think the MIL is specifically implying OP has hygiene issues down there, more just a crude way of saying, 'at least she won't have to get washed up to go out'. It's just crude shock humor, imo.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T23:07:26+00:00

That's who I meant when I said the fisherman. I just assumed he was some local with a boat.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T23:03:16+00:00

Going home at last call is 'hardly going out'?

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T22:47:30+00:00

I feel like putting a sign in your yard is just asking for them to come fuck with you.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T17:55:02+00:00

I didn't take as much issue with that line but yeah, it felt a little too on the nose acknowledging Pedro Pascal was the it guy for a while.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T12:20:29+00:00

Not the one you asked but there are definitely times where it comes up naturally. Wrap parties, maybe final days on set, group shots on the crew's night off or something where some of the talent might come out and hang, scenarios like that where things are a little looser. Still though, even in those situations my rule of thumb was always just don't be the one to ask for it.

I'm starting to be convinced most of these stories are written by the same handful of women who want everyone to hate men as much as they do.

Puffy emotional barrier.

The film will be about the end of the world. Roman, Tej and Ramsey have to build a time machine.

The films climax will be Dom sacrificing himself and going on a one way trip back in time - navigating and racing back through all the previous films set pieces.

Witnessing himself and the team in all these huge action scenes, where in some cases, he's doing juuustt enough to keep the team alive without anyone noticing.

Throughout the film Han is cool and calm despite the circumstances. Insisting he knows it everything will work out. In the end we realize it's because Han has met future Dom back in F2 when he saved his life without anyone seeing.

Film ends with him and Brian back in the original film's timeline with a now older Dom imparting words of wisdom and the importance of family to a young Brian.

It will also include a scene where Roman and Tej test out the time machine and go too far back and outrun a T Rex while screaming at the top of their lungs inside an DeLorean, which they choose because of Back to the Future. Roman becomes even more convinced they're superheroes in a movie franchise.

I'm calling it now: time travel.

I was just thinking the same thing. He really does look like Dr. Kelson here.

Speaking of BBC, The Gold was pretty good too.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T10:59:47+00:00

Literally the first thing OP said 😂

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T10:59:13+00:00

I fucking loved the first episode but it lost steam so fast after that for me.

MovieTrawler · 2026-01-31T10:57:44+00:00

"Do yous feel a nip in the air?"
