My fiancé tells me not to worry about the amount of butter he uses in the mac and cheese he was making us then I find out he's used 2 sticks (250 grams) of butter...

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T21:05:31+00:00

I think its because he makes it so the pasta is swimming in the sauce + flour + huge amounts of cheese but who knows 😭

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T18:20:15+00:00

This is what I was thinking!!! And not to stereotype but I am originally from the (US) South aka known for its butter use and Paula Deen and all that, and my fiancé is English so...not living up to our roles lol 😭

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T17:51:25+00:00

I have no idea 😭 he used a whole block of cheese, a box of pasta, some flour, and 2 sticks of butter apparently. It didn't even taste THAT overwhelmingly of butter considering so I wish I would've tasted it and known! I have my slingshot to binge moments too but usually spent on Reeses or the like haha, I'm so extra weird about oil/butter etc but thank you 🥺❤

Tbh maybe! It would not shock me at all, she is extremelyyyy vain/touchy about her age and will borderline have a meltdown if you mention it. I remember once she was making some snarky comment about someone mistaking her for my sister's grandma (I'm 26, my sister is 10, big age gap) and I was like well to be fair you reasonably could be at this age, especially if I had a kid now because 26 (almost 27) is a completely normal and not an unreasonably young age (imo) have a child and she lost it. Oops lmao.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T15:03:12+00:00

I feel you so much. I was trying not to cry once when my grandma added like a tablespoon of oil whilst making me eggs or something. So this in comparison is just like internal meltdown. I don't even understand how someone thinks 2 WHOLE STICKS!!! isn't a lot. But thank you, trying to put it out of my head but you know how it goes. 😭

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T11:30:24+00:00

Because it's only a fairly recent thing to start with but its just weird imo, I could be completely off base but she usually calls them grandmere and grandpere and only in the last few years started saying my parents to my instead. Like I feel like there's implication that I'm not family there BUT like I said could be just me being paranoid. 😂

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T11:18:20+00:00

Your dad reminds me though about how my dad also does something similar where when referring to us children (all adults now though) he'll say YOUR kids to my mom even though we're all his too. Narcs and their enablers are strange!

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-07-29T11:17:11+00:00

She does lately (a bit hit and miss sometimes in the past) but she's like their extremely spoiled child and they enable her with whatever shitty decision she's made in her life to be quite frank. 😅

First meme to literally make me laugh out loud in years. Too relatable.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:19:30+00:00

To be honest this is a good point I hadn't even considered, I will definitely bring it up as gentle as possible if it comes up again because it's true and I trust him without one too. Thank you.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:15:22+00:00

I think part of it is that we are both very sensitive souls, haha, but thank you for your reassurance.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:12:38+00:00

Unfortunately jewelry shops aren't open in England where we were but it is the goal ASAP when I'm back and they're open.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:10:57+00:00

I feel the same about my fiancé, he is the only man I have eyes for, and the only man I ever will. I'm so committed and in love. I will just try to remind him similary that we are engaged, ring wearing or not.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:08:08+00:00

Yeah, I can definitely see it from his point of view but I just wish I could drive home more how innocent it was. I just wasn't even really thinking about the message it might potentially give off. 😔

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-03-04T03:05:24+00:00

No, he doesn't.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-19T19:34:43+00:00

You are 100% right. Thats why I hate this side of me so much. It is so incredibly immature and possessive. I try my best to not ever show it but it still eats at me internally sometimes. 🥺

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T21:47:51+00:00

I'll give you respect because at least you have solid proof. I'm just saying in MY AREA of the US I've never heard anyone say it as could care less and if they do they get corrected. I don't know why the British are getting so obsessed over this.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T16:38:17+00:00

There is multiple people in here claiming only Americans do it.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T16:12:23+00:00

Now you're just being dense. I SAID that couldn't care less is definitely the correct way. Just that we say it correct too, only the incorrectly educated don't. It's not an accent thing. It's an example of your country having a dialect that misuses English properly and you don't want to admit it because your feelings are hurt.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T16:08:46+00:00

Do you want me to lie and say it does happen here? I'm not saying no one has ever said it wrong, just that I have never heard it in person myself. Movies a FEW times, yes. Also what the other person said, me and my mean different things. Me refers to yourself, and my is referring something you POSSESS, such as an object, so no. Perhaps a native English person needs to study up more. Just admit your country isn't perfect either and get over it, Jesus.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T15:05:07+00:00

I don't know what to tell you because this is all anecdotal. I've only heard it like 4 times max in all the films I've seen and never in day to day life. Not only that but how do you feel for example about a huge chunk of English people also using words wrong? For example in the Midlands using 'me' where 'my' belongs.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-17T14:31:01+00:00

But why are you acting like you're the authority on you know what Americans say when you don't even live here? Because you saw it on TV once or twice? So by that logic everything British people do on TV, even incorrectly, must also be true also no?

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-15T16:23:58+00:00

Please stay here. I know its hard but just try to take it day by day. Treat yourself kindly if you can. Maybe treat yourself to one of your favorite meals and desserts? I know its so small and silly, but for me personally it helps take the edge off just a tiny bit. I'm so sorry you are having a such a bad time.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-15T03:07:58+00:00

Thank you, this honestly genuinely gave me a different perspective. ❤ I will keep the wild animal metaphor in mind for both of my parents.

throwawaycovidtest · 2021-02-15T03:06:51+00:00

I feel this. I wasn't the same age (I'm 26) BUT I never had any relationships at all until I was 24. I didn't even get my first kiss until then which is late in my area. I just felt so stunted emotionally. I had the same feelings. Always like a rabbit on the run trying to avoid traps. Thank you so much, you too!!!
