she says he won't let her get a dog, which is fine, because they're in an apartment, and that's the kind of thing people say about their partners. he won't let me get a dog. and you're at a dinner party and you tilt your head a little to the side just like that dog he won't let her get, because is this the thing that's going to upset you? you don't know every corner of their relationship, she could be joking, they could have had so many healthy conversations about the dog, right, and maybe she's not letting herself get the dog because of money and time and whatever. but, like, she did say let
and she wants to move away from his hometown and he wants to stay and then he tells you with a wink and a conspiratorial stage whisper don't worry i'll convince her and she laughs about it - so clearly this is something they laugh about. but you do just stand there and stare at him like what the fuck, man. you can't say what you want to say which is why do you get the final say on everything because they're both obviously aware of the other person's stance on this and have obviously had private conversations about it and what are you going to do about it except make a scene and then he'll be mad at you and call you one of those bitches behind your back and she'll cut you off, which is a loss that doesn't feel worth it just because he makes you a little skeeved out every 3rd comment
and they both agree he just isn't the type to get flowers which is fine because everyone shows love differently, and are you really gonna judge someone based on their sense of individual relationship responsibility? maybe he's constantly cleaning her car and writing her poems and making her furniture or something. maybe she doesn't even like flowers and this is perfect, actually. and no you couldn't date him, obviously, ew; but like, she tells you she's happy. you almost send her a tiktok that says don't be 25 and the cool girl that doesn't need anything, you'll hate not getting flowers at 30, but that's like, starting drama & you shouldn't start drama needlessly.
and you're a little older than her but not so much older you can pull the whole trust me on this one babe thing and besides that wouldn't have worked anyway (when does it ever) and besides you have trauma so you and your therapist both agree that you're always looking for a problem even when there isn't one. and you tell yourself that just because you see them for 15 minutes every month does not mean you can identify every single red flag based on a single shitty half-joking(?) comment
and besides, what are you going to do? she says i actually wanted another stand mixer but thankfully he stops me when i'm about to spend too much money and you're standing there like are you okay? is this normal? is this just something people say? and again - what are you going to do?
to your therapist you try to language it - it's not, like, any of my business. but sometimes, doesn't it feel like - you should do something. there's got to be something, right? you've tried dropping little hints but they sail right through and you've tried having a single serious conversation and she got upset because why does it matter to you, yes it's different but we're happy, it doesn't need to make sense to you and you're like. really unwilling to push a boundary about it anymore; because the truth is that you know logically it shouldn't matter to you, as long as both parties are happy.
and besides, you've been wrong before. it's just... like, every time you see them both, something else happens, some kind of shiver down your spine like do you even hear each other when you talk. it's their strange, bickering orbit. just the way he's on his phone through dinner or watching sports instead of helping in the kitchen or, fuck, another one of these little throwaway comments he makes about we'll see about that, babe. she laughs when he calls her passions stupid shit and meanwhile she gets him tickets to see the knicks and he tells you well at least she's smart about something and still! it's none of your business.
you say get the dog anyway and she laughs. like, this is is you being funny. and not you saying - no really. get the dog. get the dog and get out of here. pack up and start running.
#this btw is not including toxic friendships this is legit just something ive experienced MANY times now#writeblr#you ever have a friend in one of those relationships where ur like#u don't HATE their partner explicitly#but ur like. what the fuck y'all#like the weird part of being an adult is that you can't be like . CERTAIN their relationship is toxic#and also if u move too fast or push too hard u can hurt someone who is already in a scary situation so you just are like#frozen there. laughing awkwardly. saying ''haha..... yeah..... couldn't be me....''#and like u can't tell - is this banter or does he actually think like. he's better than her.#all you can do is be there for your friend and hope they wake up to it#or ... that it really IS good#and it's just odd to you#tbh btw id rather have my friends feel safe coming to me if they have a concern about my relationship#like yes it's not ur business but it also IS bc im making u hang out with them and also ur my friend#it's a weird thing to experience as an adult bc it is such a blurry line and when u spend time#around couples that aren't like ACTUALLY ur friends but instead ''extended friend circle'' ur like#.... i don't know y'all well enough and he just called you a cow. and ur okay with that . and i don't know how to respond.#so ur like :) okay. um. go to couple's counselling i think#but also you are NOT supposed to pass judgement so it's like.... this weird limbo of feeling like you SHOULD say something#but knowing you CANNOT#idk that there's a way to resolve it!!!!!!!! it's probably a different approach person to person#edited my tags bc tumblr's new system fucked em up#PS EDIT: btw i should have said:#the pronouns in this can work in any and every direction. every gender and every sexuality and every#type of relationship tbh. even non-romantic relationships where ur like ''what do u mean ur bff calls u stupid''

mister lewis hamilton, sir, how are you gonna go on live television and talk about about how your karting days were the best times of your career and still never say nico's name? not once but multiple times??? oh you mean the karting your did with your childhood best friend nico rosberg? that karting? the karting where you met him? the karting where your families became friends? the karting where you spent months in italy together? the pizza eating contests and torn up hotel rooms? the frosties? the unicycling? that karting???? "i'm over the divorce," says man who is soo not over the divorce.

The good omens confession/divorce is still so insane to me.
They're both saying "I love you, I need you, please come with me" and somehow they both walk away from that conversation feeling completely and utterly rejected.... absolutely amazing lmao

I think you are both exceptional people. And that makes it hard. You live life at its edges, and the edge of anything is sharp, so you wound each other merely because you are you. So you need to find a way to accept that there will be wounds, or that at points you will need to step back from yourselves for the sake of the other.

The only reasonable NON-homsexual explanation for Wilson to be so devoted to House is daddy issues mixed with a adrenaline addiction and even that is still a little homosexual

how is obikin doing in couples counseling au? is Sheari ready to give them a referral yet just to get rid of the headache?
couples counselor: so today i thought we could start diving into your various miscommunications via love languages. do you know what a love language is?
obikin: :\ :\
couples counselor:
obikin: :| :|
couples counselor: ok thats what i thought. so we can start with a very basic question: how do you think you express your love for your partner? do you express it through nice words? doing nice things for him? holding his hand or clasping his shoulder? spending time together outside of mandatory missions? presenting him with tokens of your affection?
anakin: i save his life. when he does stupid reckless shit. does that count.
couples counselor: ok! we can call that acts of service. obi-wan, what about you? how do you show anakin that you love him?
obi-wan: hm. well. i told him i was proud of him once. like right before he went off and almost joined the dark side. is that anything.
couples counselor: ok so that sounds a bit like words of affirmation, but perhaps now we should talk about frequency of--
anakin: yeah that was really great and i think about it often :) i probably think about those words more than i think about my wedding vows to my wife :)
couples counselor: ok so we're gonna take a quick break
obikin: what why? no one's yelled or cursed or left or done anything bad?
couples counselor: we're gonna take a quick break for me. my break. my self-care break.

"Simon and Betty had a very deep, mutual love for each other and they brought each other a lot of happiness" and "their relationship was flawed and, in some aspects, unhealthy" are concepts that can coexist

No but in another life where Jace isn’t too far gone, he and so many other coworkers coulda vibed. Henry would tell Jace that he can do anything he puts his mind to and helps Jace sign up for community college or take night classes on the side to take a level of Wizard. I love Porter’s nasty awful ass, but Jace deserved better company and better relationships with his other coworkers that wouldn’t have killed him.
Like Tiberia would hate his ass but if he asked and put in the work she’d maybe help him learn the basics. He could go get drinks with Corsica, meditate and practice mindfulness with Yolanda, etc. like the possibilities were endless. I don’t mind him being dead and he doesn’t have to be reformed, but in death I image he regrets trying so hard to build a bridge between Porter and himself.
I’m 100% attached to Jace now and he’s sooo tragic to me in a Kendall!Sucession type of way. Like the only thing in his way was himself and he pursued the wrong thing and got nothing to show for it.
Catch me frantically scribing an Aguefort Coworker’s Retreat AU for my baby girl Jace where Arthur makes his staff (villains and all) do silly team bonding activities and some of them come out of it a lil better for it.
Porter gets revived to participate bc it would be his personal hell but is absolutely not allowed to teach at Aguefort anymore on account of the grooming students to be his worker bees. Maybe he’s sent to work in the compass points where Ayda and Aelwyn could destroy his ass at a moments notice. Maybe over time he’ll pick up a book or two on pirate friendship and send Jace an orange idk. Is this anything?

Draco: Not to make unnecessary comments
Harry: ughh
Draco: HOWever- your cloak has a stain, which I distinctly remember you received two days ago when you were trying to drink jasmine tea while running away from Granger.
Harry: You know, I don't think you know what the word unnecessary means.
Draco: Course I do, it is when something is irrelevant to a situation. The stain in question is very relevant by chance that we are in close proximity to each other and I can see right there *pokes stain*
Harry: *smacks at hand* Do not touch
Draco: *begins to grapple for Harrys hand* But I am showing you, Stop smacking * pulls wand*
Harry: Put that away you imbecile, you will give away our position *tries to get the wand away*
Draco: I am just trying to be helpful * shoves wand along with harrys hand closer to stain* Now hold still
Harry: I'll shove this wand up your nose *face palms hand into Draco's face*
Draco: ahhhh! I CAN NOT breathe you idiaaAAAAt. FINE! FINE, keep your stupid stain. *angrily tries to push him away*
Harry: Stop shoving me, we are in a box trying to be stealthy *grabs Malfoys hair*
Head Auror Robards: No need, gentleman.
Draco:
Harry:
Draco:
Harry:
Head Auror Robards: The rest of the team has apprehended our targets. Apparently, it was reported that a couple having a martial dispute helped disguise the drop as well kept the criminals enthralled as they placed bets on who was right.
*********************************************
The interrogation
Draco: You agree with me right *points at criminal* He said I was right, Potter! HA!
Harry: Well if HE says your right then it must be true.
Draco: I'll kill you, Potter. I will cut off that rats nest you call hair and shove it down your throat!
Harry: Then maybe I won't have you listen to your annoying voice ever again.
Draco: So now my voice is annoying. You weren't saying that last night
Criminal: I am very uncomfortable
Draco: Shut it! This isn't even about you. I refuse to listen to an idiot who messes up brewing a simple pepperup potion. Honestly, quit your day job as you besmirch the art of potion making. I would pay actual gallons for you to choose any other illegal activity just so I don't ever have to try to distill and examine another one of your potions.
Criminal: *cries*
Harry: What happened to HE agrees with you?
Draco: Shut your trap, don't think I'll forget you calling my voice annoying. I'm done here, enjoy the parlor floor when you get home.

LOVE URSELF!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE N ACCEPT EVEN THE “BAD” PARTS OF URSELF!!!! SIMON PLEASE!!!!! SIMON EVEN PPL WHO LOVE YOU AND WHO YOU LOVE CAN HURT YOU!!!! ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!
