Me [24F] with my [24M] guy of over a year, I want to break up by ghosting.


On the one hand, ghosting isn't a nice thing to do. On the other hand Mr "I want to keep my options open" is a jerk so he's got it coming.

I was re-watching it last month up until season like 6 and yeah you are 100% right.

-initial diagnosis is given, with a promise that the problem will be fixed instantly
-patient gets worse, cancer or fungal infection is thrown out as unlikely
-House reluctantly meets the patient, disagrees with them on a fundamental level about some philosophical issue
-patient continues to get worse, is told flat out that they are going to die
-House is eating dinner with Wilson or sitting in his office talking to an underling, has an epiphany
-Rube Goldberg-like medical condition causes an overly complicated cascading effect that causes the initial issue, usually environmentally caused

Yet I just kept watching.

There's nothing inherently unhealthy about being boring. If someone not having snacks around when you visit their house causes you to have interpersonal problems with them, then it's you. You are the true weirdo.

she says she can't trust herself around food. She's pretty liberal when she eats socially (booze, bread, pizza, burgers, candy, whatever) but at home she has one of the most consistently empty kitchens I've ever seen. Even if I bring food over, she'll make me take the leftovers home. I'm not exaggerating.

Yeah I mean they aren't gonna make an episode about it when he's right the first time and the patient is cured!!!

she says she can't trust herself around food, even leftovers. it's good that she's aware of her problem but banishing food from her house is not a good long term strategy to deal with it. most people use their kitchen to store food and if this woman doesn't use the kitchen for that purpose like pretty much everyone else does then it's just as weird as not having a bed in your bedroom

quote:

She literally eats the same thing for each meal every single day. I don't want to reveal what the meals are but imagine very simple things that can be prepared in bulk for the week. The problem is that she refuses to keep any other food in her place.

Occasionally you get a really cool one like the one where's he giving the lecture with the three stories.

i dunno where you got this "snacks" talking point from because the guy says his gf keeps next to no food in the house and makes him take his leftovers home. either you didn't read carefully or you're doing that goon thing where you purposely mischaracterize what's going on to make the people disagreeing with you seem unreasonable

in reality it's not healthy to keep your pantry effectively bare as part of your diet plan. maybe if you were broke sure but this:

Biopsy the stomach. When the tests come back negative, start her on a broad range spectrum of antibiotics. If we're right she'll be fine by breakfast and if we're not, the new symptoms should tell us where the infection is hiding.

Also God is dead, love is a lie, and compassion is for suckers. See you next season, folks!

(Currently watching House all the way through. There has been maybe one episode without the above exchange)

To be fair call center -> food service -> retail have to be the worst jobs to have in the USA and I don't blame him for not sticking those out.

I got to the part where he wants to be a blacksmith though and my sympathy kind of diminished.

Not really, how diverse do you think human's diets have historically been? Could be pizza, gumbo, curry, or something else nutritionally complete.

Read again:


She does keep food in her house. She just preps it for the week. She just doesn't keep other food around, AKA "snacks".

She's been doing this for 2 years so apparently it works pretty well as a long-term strategy! There is nothing actually inherently unhealthy about this. You just think it's strange.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

He even says in the comments that it's something where she can vary what goes into it. It's dumb that he won't just say it, but whatever.

"Extremely boring" then? Should we break out a thesaurus?

It's pretty unhealthy to only eat the same thing at every meal every day

boner confessor posted:

yeah it works pretty well up until the point that it's causing friction in her interpersonal relationships, aside from the fact that it's interfering with her ability to form a household with another person it's a totally adequate coping mechanism for an eating disorder

There is a horrible misunderstanding of nutrition in general, this is pretty much it 100%

Xombie posted:

What you described is no different than what vegans or people with severe food allergies go through. They also don't have eating disorders.

i mean i guess you could compare this to a severe food allergy if we assume that she's healthy despite being allergic to 99% of food, sure

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

I mean, in the comments he certainly makes it sound like basically a meal template that you can vary by putting different things in it. Doesn't sound too bad to me. Exactly like the other poster said, if it's something like curry or gumbo it could be very different from week to week while being the same "meal".

single source feeding doesn't work. science's grasp of nutrition isn't established well enough to figure out how much of everything one person needs because we don't even know what all the different parts do yet. eat a wide variety of foodstuffs to make sure you get all the nutrients. also grow all of your own vegetables by making GBS threads in martian dirt and scrape the filth off your body with olive oil and long sticks, as the romans once did. #ancientwisdom

is eating olives and pickled peppers every few minutes a nutritious diet?

i love food, even mill my own flour, but such a lovely early 90s understanding of nutrition is terrible.

I don't give a poo poo about the nutritional side, it's an eating disorder
