    ladies/men-

    you're in the car driving with your bae on a nice saturday evening. maybe down to the local sonic to get an ice cream cone or something. its been a good day. you've got your bluetooth connected to the stereo and your music on shuffle. one of your favorite tracks comes on and you turn it up a notch.

    bae leans over and turns the volume back down and says "ugh i hate that stupid song"

    wyd?

    Easy
    1) put that pout to work, not the cute little coy one, but the lip jutting, pissed off 3 year old about to have a tantrum pout

    2) turn the radio off with a dramatic hand gesture

    3) don't speak to them the whole way to the ice cream shop, just shrug your shoulders and maybe sigh occasionally if they talk to you. If they ask whats wrong...you know the correct answer, I'm sure

    4) when you get to the ice cream shop, tell them "nah, I'm not in the mood anymore"

    5) when they go in to get their ice cream, change your ring tone to "the song" and the volume to "I can hear it from the neighbours house" loudest possible volume

    Done

    This seems like a lot of work

    Can we just throw them in the trunk?

    Depends. Do you keep a cargo net back there?

    Wait... there's a process to this? I thought screaming "I do what I want!" and flipping the dial to what I wanted to listen to would suffice. Hrm..

    Do you prefer daily needy "Hello" texts or the strict minimum communication necessary to set up dates?

    I'm down for most DYI projects... as long as it doesn't involve electrical stuff. Nearly electrocuted myself once, not eager to give it another shot...

    Good morning and good night texts are too much 😣

    I text and would like texts all day long...including good morning and good night 😬

    Thats too much pressure! 😅

    But in my defense my good morning message...

    Gals:

    Say you have a home improvement project that you want done and your significant other has all of the experience, tools, and equipment to get it done by themselves. Do you prefer them to do it all by themselves sooner, or would you rather wait until you both have a day off and get it done together?

    It depends...Is it at my house or his?

    Does that affect your answer?

    It does...clearly my house...if I make a mistake no big deal...his house, I dont need that pressure

    @MaltedTea
    How would you feel if you're dating/invested/married to someone that doesn't slash and burn all prior contacts and will cordially respond to ANY text/call that might be received? Is there a different standard for dating/committed/married?

    'You're an ex for a reason and cannot, by extension, be afforded the same attention as I'd give my current partner.'

    If you're only 'dating' but they're keeping everyone on the backburner there's not much you can say about it. If you're engaged or married, that's a different story. Juggling all kinds of potentials at one time is a fine art. It takes a lorra lorra strategy and planning.

    What happens while you're 'dating' can be the handwriting on the wall for more happy horsesheet to come.
    Never let an old flame burn you twice. <3

    If we're talking about a dating scenario, going steady (ermagah, does anyone say that anymore?!) or a legal union of some sort, then regular, straightforward, and transparent conversation is always where I'm at.

    For example, I'd rather have a talk about our opinion on open relationships, what we each view as "cheating" and other discussions considered difficult then avoid them and generate eventual drama for them, myself or any third party.

    After some trial and tribulation fit for stiff drinks, I've come to realize that if a person I'm intimate with (who, in turn, has voiced and demonstrated some reciprocation) cannot also engage in regular, straightforward, transparent conversation then...

    @MaltedTea Very smart. The exhalted ruler or exhausted rooster will end up a plucked chicken or a ruptured duck. His goose is cooked.

    All those waiting on the backburner who are willing to go along for the ride will end up fried as well.

    Turn to him with The Look and say pointedly, "But it's my favourite".

    Ponder how I'm going to dump him during the ice cream at Sonic. I don't get Sonic very often and I'm not wasting it on a premature breakup.

    In reality, if we're going to Sonic that means we're on a road trip about 600 miles from home so I'll need to ponder that breakup thing until we get back or I'll be stranded. By then I'll probably have forgotten.

    You can take him to a Baskin Robbins and soft serve the blow.

    Won't a $1 cone from McD's serve the purpose? I don't want to invest a whole lot of money on a departing contestant here.

    Slashing and burning is not necessary. I only ask that the ex in question stay the ex.
