ArbitraryC posted:Sometimes I can understand the love language thing but other times I really can't. Like to me, several of them blur together, the idea that gift giving is completely separate from acts of service just sort of confounds me. For example, your SO is busy as all hell this week so after work you swing by to do some chores and cook dinner for them, is that less of a gift than just hiring a maid or ordering takeout or something? Doing it yourself is an act of service Paying someone else to do it is gift giving Not really complicated

Streak posted:Don't ask me why words mean things I guess I've just never been in a relationship so unhealthy that my SO would discount the time and effort I put into making their life better. It's like when you help a friend out and they treat you to dinner in return, normal people understand that your time and expertise are worth something and going out of your way to help them out is a "gift" in itself.

Hypothesis: Love language tests are scams set up by therapists in order to introduce conflict to relationships and create business.

The real answer is that nobody has just one 'love language' anyway, just like how the Myers-Briggs bullshit is meaningless because everyone expresses different levels of its personality traits depending on the situation they're in.

When I worked at Warner Bros it was super obvious that the Hogwarts hat you get to sit under (it's like 9 feet above you so nobody can steal it) was just a random number generator with 4 different recordings but actual adults I worked with genuinely took it seriously like the WB had somehow invented a brain scanner they weren't marketing for some reason.

What happened when they sat under it a second time, and got a different reading? Assuming I understand how this works. I’m guessing you sit under a hat and it assigns you to a house or however that works in the books?

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:What happened when they sat under it a second time, and got a different reading? Assuming I understand how this works. I’m guessing you sit under a hat and it assigns you to a house or however that works in the books? There was a motion sensor in the hat or a weight sensor on the stool or something. The way it was intended to work was that tour groups or field trips would line up to use the exhibit, it was/is in a memorabilia museum, and then the next person gets on. The coworkers who were really excited to use it didn't want to hear anything about that and would either be super proud of their designation or bummed out. Sitting under it a second time would have ruined it, and being assigned to a house you didn't want was part of the books and movies. To be honest, it was a lovely job with extremely high turnover so I don't blame them for a little escapism into movie magic. It was a job that tended to attract people who either loved tv/movies in general or wanted to work in entertainment.

(33F) with (43M) bf for over two years and still no proposal. How much longer should I wait ?quote:My BF still shows no sign of proposal and I feel like I am getting old LOL at the bolded parts. Surely she’s sat him down and had a serious discu- quote:I am so afraid to bring up the ‘proposal itself’ I don’t want to be labeled as someone running after marriage. Well, the only option is to leave him for Karnak.

The sorting hat actually uses advanced machine vision algorithms to sort people into different houses on the basis of race, just like how Walt Disney would have wanted it Ignore that the attraction is not owned by Disney because that ruins the joke okay

So this morning is a pretty downer of a day, there’s a blatant “My boyfriend is a child molester in waiting” to give you an example. Let’s have something more fun I [44 M] had a huge argument with my wife [37 F] in which she said I am acting completely heartless. Am I? quote:u/_needingperspective Sorry, you shouldn’t see your Daughter this year because I’ve not heard of kennels, or the concept of buying a second dog if the first one doesn’t play well with other dogs.

are two dogs really that much harder to care for than one? i mean you feed them both at the same time, walk them together, it's basically the same amount of effort, and other than that they pretty much just take care of themselves right? five days isn't even long enough to think about having to give them a bath. my aunt used to show dogs and she had uh...like...i think nineteen of them at the peak, when one had a litter of ten puppies? and that is a full time job, no question, but it's still possible for one person to do it. two is nothing. wife sounds like she's got something else she's mad about. that or she's super immature

Oh this one is fun My [30M] husband [29M] tells scary stories to [3F]. Goes off to work and then I'm left with our daughter waking me up all night because she heard the wind. quote:u/FitToe You shouldn’t scare your 3 old. But to me the real spooky part of the story is having an entire holiday camp to yourselves. Jeez, you’ve got land coming out the wazoo over there.

Darkrenown posted:I don't have a link, but if it's the same one I am remembering the BF wasn't made about it. She dressed like a clown for years until one day she asked his opinion on her style and he said something like "I don't care for it, but you do you" and she got mad that he doesn't support her 100%. A few pages late but I had to dig it up again because I'm the one who originally found this gem lol My [22F] boyfriend [23M] hates my clothes. quote:Together for 3 years. So when I first met my boyfriend, I wasn't really into fashion and I generally just wore jeans, T-shirts, sweaters (not that they looked bad, but they weren't really "me.") I started reading the FFA sub (used throwaway bc he knows my real username) several years ago and got way more into fashion.

If the weight sensor detects that you're over 180 then the sorting hat just says "FAT CAMP" If you're that one strong-willed kid then you just sit there for the rest of the day demanding that the hat give you a different answer

The only good use of the love language thing is to use it to tune into how your partner is already showing their love for you. The people who turn it into conflict fuel are morons.

My girlfriend's home taking care of her mom's 2 dogs plus her own while she's on vacation and they just sit around and sleep or play most of the time. Because they're dogs. Someone has to be there to make sure they have food/water and don't destroy the house, but it's not like taking care of domesticated animals is some kind of complex, nuanced work. Maybe dude's wife is a womanchild and feels like she needs him there for emotional support, which is fine, but not to the point that he can't visit his fuckin daughter.
