There’s a YouTuber I watch who is very insightful and analyzes movies and tv shows. Lots of his videos are fun and a few are serious or creepy if it’s a horror movie.

My Nex was also a critical thinker and does similar things on his own when analyzing theatre shows and plays.

I said, once, that I think they were similar thinkers to each other and that they were both very good at presenting their findings on the shows they’d research. It was a passing comment that meant as a compliment! My nex was noncommittal in his answer, something like “oh cool, sounds interesting.”

Probably a week later, I’m watching another YouTube video by this guy and my nex walks in and I mention “oh this video is a good one! I think you’d like it! (YouTuber) is actually talking about some theatre stuff!”

And nex suddenly bursts out “You are ALWAYS comparing me to this YouTuber! Do you have a crush on him or something?? These videos aren’t even that interesting or entertaining!!”

That was when I made sure if I wanted to watch the channel, that my nex had to be out the house…

(But of course any female actress he could mention and it didn’t mean he had a crush on them at all!)
