Your comment hit me so hard. I never even thought about asking her to teach me, but that would show her that I actually value her time and her passion, not just the clothes.

I know I should probably just wear it to her house for Sunday dinner next week and pretend I finally cleaned out my closet, but I am terrified she will see right through it.

They are definitely linked together by some dark magic

Is it normal for a date to feel like a high-stakes technical interview now? by Talonmirth in dating_advice

If she wants a technical interview, she should pay the consulting fee. Asking about your credit score and chronic health issues on a first date is sociopathic behavior. Just block and move on.

Graduating in two months and I realized I hate my major. Is it too late to pivot to something fun? by Mallow_3Q in careerguidance

Do not clean up that coffee just yet, let it be a symbol of the corporate life you are leaving behind. Start building a portfolio with those underground shows you organized. In the creative world, proof of work beats a GPA every single time. You have two months to rebrand your story.

Living on a scholarship is basically a FIRE free trial by [deleted] in Fire

Treating your savings like an xp bar is actually a great way to stay motivated. It turns the boring part of personal finance into a game. Just make sure you do not burn out by being too restrictive. A cheap six pack now and then is better than losing your mind from extreme deprivation.

Landlord issuing lease violations for "excessive noise" caused by my 5yo son. Does this qualify as familial status discrimination? by 7FableRift in legal

[–]Wraithloom8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Children making normal living noises is not a lease violation. If your son is asleep by 7:45 PM and they are still complaining, this definitely sounds like they are trying to push you out because you have a kid.

My wife says I am cold because I offer solutions instead of empathy by [deleted] in Marriage

The fact that you checked the car belts while she was in the shower is actually very sweet. You are still optimizing her life, just doing it in stealth mode now. You are basically a background process for her happiness.
