Pointing out things that make STDH obviously in the 'DH' category = angry about coffee payments. Got it.

I want to believe that the thing that marks that story as stdh was people being lovely to a stranger for absolutely no reason at all but that's one of the most believable parts. :smith:

quote:

So I think if I just get it out of my system hopefully I won't keep dwelling on it.
Minor backstory, my best friend is the kind of girl that every guy falls for in the first 5 minutes. She's stunning, down to earth and incredibly genuine. She's the absolute definition of charisma and grace. Thus 5 years ago when we started hanging out I just thought hell, she'll never like someone like me. Well we became inseparable, and when she would get drunk I'd be the one to take her home and tuck her in, never once reciprocating her drunk advances. I always figured she only wanted me while drunk ya know? (Plus she had a bad habit of being an absolute heart breaker)
Anyway, she met a guy 2 years ago and he's everything she wants in a man. Fast forward to their wedding tonight - the nights winding down and she drags me out to the dance floor for a slow dance. Towards the end of it (mind you I'm a tad bit inebriated at this point) I jokingly tell her she'll just have to be the one that got away. Her response?
"You know that's bullshit, I was the one you never even wanted. You can't blame me after breaking my heart"
Now I'm lying in bed without the energy to even drown my sorrow in some low-budget erotica.
Her husband is a fantastic guy, and he'll make her so happy. But I hosed up, by letting my insecurities get between the one I always really wanted.

I kind of hope this one is true, because LOL at this loving loser

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"


One day I was having a lovely day at work on a Friday and my fiancé was working a late shift so I knew I wouldn't see her until like 11. I walked into the apartment and lo and behold on the couch was a brand new copy of Destiny, my favorite beer, a box of cheez its, and (for some reason) an animation cel from Akira, along with a lovey-dovey note about how rough she knew my week was. The note didn't even have either of our names on it, it could have been right out of STDH.

....except, y'know, she wrote the note because she was gone all night and not because she had "banished herself" like some kind of loon. I feel like if you come home and your SO has left you a note despite also being home themselves something is pretty hosed up in your relationship, candy and soda notwithstanding.

He is such a good provider, caring helpmeet, and amazing cocksman, she will do ANYTHING to make him as happy as she can. He is such a gift to mankind, her happiness is COMPLETELY irrelevant. Don't you all know how to read between the lines?

It's a biblical term for wife basically. It's use somewhat common among US fundamentalist types, like when they are teaching their daughters how they need to be subservient to their future husbands.

The term comes from the King James Bible. By the mid-17th century, people made the mistake of thinking that Genesis 2:18 phrase "an help meet for him," i.e., someone worthy to help him(Adam), was actually saying there was such a thing as a "help-meet" or "helpmeet," which would basically mean a subordinate woman wife. The phrase morphed into "helpmate" early in the 18th century. The only people I've heard still using this have been from more conservative Protestant or Evangelical circles.

Not what I believe, but it worked for the point of the joke. Especially as the type of loser that would cook up such a lame STDH would be the farthest thing from any of the things I mentioned.
