I got sick for the first time since moving in with my boyfriend and apparently this man treats a common cold like a medical emergency.
The second I said, “I don’t feel good,” he switched into full caretaker mode.
He went to the store and came back with medicine, soup, Gatorade, tissues, cough drops, fuzzy socks, and three different juices because he “didn’t know which one sounded best.”
Then he made me get back in bed while he cleaned the entire apartment.
At one point I got up to help and this man looked genuinely offended.
He said, “Why are you standing?”
Sir???
Because I live here???
He tucked me back into bed like I was recovering from battle.
Later that night I apologized for being “dramatic” about not feeling well and he looked confused and said, “You’re sick. You don’t have to earn being taken care of.”
And I’m not even kidding when I say I almost cried right there.
Because some people are so used to surviving everything alone that basic care feels unreal when it finally happens.
SUMMER DRINKING TIP: When someone says they’re not drinking/refusing the alcoholic beverage you’re offering, do not ask why.
Just offer a non-alcoholic option and move on.. because whatever the reason is, it’s almost always none of your business.
Man has a headache: “I have a headache.”
Woman has a headache: “Is it hormones, stress, dehydration, too much caffeine, not enough caffeine, ponytail too tight or am I just dying?”
Women’s fears on a first date:
1. That he’ll k*ll her
2. That he’ll r*pe her
3. That he turns out to be a psychopath
Men’s fears:
That he’ll have to pay for the tiramisu she ordered.
The real goldiggers are the men who expect you to take care of them, clean their house, wash and iron their clothes, give birth to their children, manage their emotions, and on top of that go to work and contribute 50/50 to the expenses.
