Remembering how when my Mum left, my Dad still didn't learn to cook or do anything else she'd been doing solo all those years.
I quickly taught myself to cook at age 10, using books from the library, as soon as I realised that every meal with my father was going to be a bag of frozen sausage rolls, plain toast, or nothing at all. By 13, I was cooking meals for him too.
And that's how male incompetence trains women.
My uncle used to disappear every Wednesday evening for about an hour. We all assumed he was visiting friends. One day I asked where he kept going. He smiled and said, Just checking on Mr. Benson. Mr. Benson had lost his wife a few years earlier and lived alone. Every Wednesday they’d share a cup of tea and talk about football, gardening, or sometimes nothing at all. When I asked why he’d done it for so long, my uncle simply said, “After you’ve lost the person you spent your life with, silence can get very loud.” That answer has stayed with me ever since
No dog in the fight & little interest in said fight. But I just want to say that people can indeed block you without speaking to you first
I’m blocked by people I’ve never interacted with & I’ve done same. You can see someone’s interaction w another person & decide to block them
"Can I call you"? is so attractive
But no, please you can't call me because five months from now we're gonna be strangers and I'd have messed up my sleep cycle for nothing.
Enjoy your night, respectfully.
