Why do these people always say they love these pieces of poo poo? Do they not know what love is?

Power Khan posted:So my (41M) wife (40F) is a 'Karen'... Whenever I go out to eat I always tip 35-50%. People give me poo poo for tipping too much. Bite my rear end. e: I remember little while ago I had some time to burn after work, so I stopped by this breakfast place. Waitress tried to return my tip because she thought I had left too much by accident. I was like, it’s $10 on a $20 meal, no big thing Ziv Zulander fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Mar 3, 2019 |

There is no way he didn't know Karen's behavior when he went out on dates with her initially. That's why observing how a date treats service workers is a good indicator of their personality.

Power Khan posted:So my (41M) wife (40F) is a 'Karen'... Uh, why isn't he willing to divorce his wife over horribly abusive behavior that he and his kids detest and are embarrassed by whenever they go out???? It's killing their family and he's somehow fine with it. All he has to do is say "Hey honey, you know I love you and care about you deeply, but you really need to stop treating waitresses, managers, cashiers, etc like trash or else I'm going to reconsider this marriage. I'm done." This isn't tough or profound and it's super weird how these people are so reluctant to actually talk to their partners.

I think the gaslighting is just as big a red flag as the treating random people like poo poo. If she was being awful to waiters and then going “oh, yeah, I did that” when he talked to her about it, that would still be bad, but reacting by accusing him of making it up is a double layer of lovely relationship dynamic.

bell jar posted:say what you will but the dog "bit" her in a way that didn't puncture clothes or skin and could only be identified by leftover saliva, and she could have fired the gun into the air to spook the dogs before straight up shooting one This was thirty pages ago, but you are a loving idiot. Firing a gun at anything you are not actively trying to hit is some of the stupidest poo poo you could possibly do. There are no accidental shootings, just negligent ones, and that kind of poo poo is how random bystanders end up with bullet holes.

I feel like if you don't even care enough about your sex partner to call them a friend and would rather say they're a "fuckbuddy", then you probably don't care enough about them beyond sex and airheaded qualities are besides the point.

The 5 Love Languages and problems because of them in relationships For those who don’t know, the 5 love languages are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch. I (29F) have come across this theory recently and I think it makes a lot of sense. I struggle with my SO (30M) because his love language is physical touch while mine is acts of service. I feel as if we cannot get on the same page. I have learnt to give him physical touch but he refuses to give me acts of service. I simply cannot make him understand this makes me feel loved. I think most problems in relationships come from that; we just don’t have the same love languages and we expect our SO to need the same things we need. What do you think about it, do you believe in this theory or not? I would like to know how to make my SO understand I have different needs and am feeling unloved because he doesn’t make me feel loved? I just cannot make him understand that this is the most important to me and always feel unloved. He always gives me physical touch but it just isn’t enough for me. At this point after 14 years I am just tired of waiting for him to give me what I need. Edit to add: I should also add that he is trying to improve but isn’t really doing much. Not by a long shot. How long should I wait for him and hope he will? Will he ever?
