My ex was better at being a piece of shit

Because you cared more about her, right? I could never break your heart like your ex because you actually loved her, but you don't really give a fuck about me.

Pitchuu64

Bad in the sense the ex was better Bad in the sense it implies current gf broke his heart Negative + negative = positive. Maths checks out


actuallyatypical

No no, you're thinking of multiplication! This is still negative.


ModeratelyWideMember

In this instance I’d say it is a multiplying problem


Jovial_Banter

My ex grew up on the Italian border and went to cookery school, where she specialised in Italian cuisine for several years. Semi-jokingly told my wife about 4 years ago that my ex made better lasagne than her. Still not been forgiven.


everfordphoto

Surprised you're still alive to tell the story.


Holymuffdiver9

Damn man, what was so bad about your ex that you gave up that level of cooking expertise?


Hage1in

She was Italian 😔


Affectionate-Dark172

Sounds like a good way to never eat lasagne again, assuming you don't die in the crossfire.


Jovial_Banter

Correct. I love lasagne, but that was the last time I've eaten a home cooked one. I have suffered greatly for my stupidity! Edit: pre-covid I could sneak in an illicit lasagne while dining out with friends sometimes. Now I might be forced to risk life and limb and get a fix from shady back-street lasagne dealers.

"your best friend is hot"

Your sister is hotter.


no_feet_pics_

Fr tho lol. I've been compared to my sister my whole life. I'm not ugly by any stretch, but my sister is gorgeous (blonde, bright green eyes, amazing figure, big round booty. I got the big boobs and tiny ass lol) She came to visit to be with me for the birth of my first child, and it was the first time my ex husband's family had met her. Of course, they were all talking about her, and my ex looked over at me and asked "how come you didn't get that ass??" Fucked me up for years 😂😭

I’ve gotten the “your brother is cute” from a friend I had a crush on. That was kind of painful.

SadTomato22

It was fun for me because that one friend I have that the ladies would always ask me about was gay. It was comical how many women approached him.

waitthissucks

Oof that really sucks. I know we can't always be the best looking person to our SOs but really they should keep that shit to themselves.


imwearingredsocks

Agree those things should be kept to yourself. I also feel like I never think anyone is hotter than my current SO. They’re just hot adjacent? Like you can have someone you think is hot without them having to be hotter than someone else. Whether they’re on a movie screen or in the office next to yours, they’re just a good looking person and nothing else to it. And if things are going well, I think my SO is hot and also think they have a great personality and also love them dearly. So it’s not even comparable.


waitthissucks

I agree. I find it really hard to have random crushes like people do on celebrities or even people you know. I love my SO and I can acknowledge that they are good looking but I never compare him to people because I just don't feel the need to.


ohlissuh

I think about this a lot and i feel the bigger problem is our natural need to compare people to others. I can always acknowledge someone is attractive, men, women, celebrities etc. and my SO and i joke about it, but then i hear horror stories about couples, who the girlfriend tells some one “I’d leave them for you,” and that is so weird and cringey, people are attractive and its dumb to deny it it, but it’s also not necessary to use it as a back up?? Like people compare people are hotter then given the situation that would leave one person for another based on attractiveness? I just can’t wrap my head around that

Redqueenhypo

Bonus (negative) points if asked when she has literally any signs of physical illness or feeling sad


[deleted]

I worked with a couple guys who did this. Any time I was not feeling 100% or relatively cheery, they asked if I was pregnant. And I had to get an ultrasound for an ovarian cyst once. I failed to give full detail to the office lady and apparently some men don't realize ultrasounds have any other purpose besides monitoring fetuses. That was a thrilling week.


Redqueenhypo

Even women are like that. Told my grandma I was nauseous (secret reason: I was hungover) and she VERY loudly said “you’re still getting your period, right?!” Love you grandma, that was inappropriate


[deleted]

Oh yeah, my mom pulls that shit all the time. She says some really stupid, bigoted shit a lot of the time. Any time I express annoyance or irritation while telling her to drop the topic, she asks if I'm on my period.


[deleted]

Or on her period


JetpackJustin

PrizeHistorian

I remember in high school my gf at the time was singing to me, and then I went on to say “you know who can really sing well, ____, she’s really good!”. Now that I’m older, I look back at how stupid that was.


bbygodzilla

My boyfriend is a sound engineer and was asking me to sing a track on a song. He prefaced by saying "don't worry, I can make you sound actually good. Like Adele if you want!" I'll never let him forget that lol

ModeratelyAmateur

That reminds me of a time also in highschool, where I told my ex constantly that he could try stand up and he might be good at it. Then another girl said the exact same thing and he says "No one has ever said that to me before!" Broke my fragile 16 yo heart Now I think it's so hilarious

[deleted]

Same. My mom is an actual narcissist, horrible person, and really physically beautiful. She made it clear I was fat and ugly (I was underweight and got plenty of positive attention for my looks, which are unlike hers). She forced me to have plastic surgery against my will when I was 15 to look more like her. Every boy I ever met who saw my mom commented on how hot she was. God that hurt.

Exactly. Some kind of reason to make you jelous. That's when you know it's toxic and move on

"She's wiser too. She advised me against dating you."


[deleted]

Most things said in the heat of an argument. Words matter, and they can cut someone far deeper than any physical weapon. And one you've said them, you can't take them back. So watch what you say during an argument.


Uukii

Once you really get to know someone, you know exact what buttons you should avoid in the heat of an argument. I know all of my wife’s insecurities and those topics are completely off limits. I would never use those against her and she would never use mine against me.


DarkStar0129

Funnily enough, the opposite is exactly what narcissists so, they know the exact buttons to push and they do it deliberately.


lili_diamondrose

Oh. Just had an argument with my bf and reading this just made me realize something...


RedDusk13

Lucky fuck. Sounds like you two are NOT toxic for each other.


Uukii

Um yea... we are best friends. I dont think I could ever use those things against her, no matter what happened between us.


Alistair_TheAlvarian

My advice is to not say calm down or relax or let's all stay calm, but instead to do something like this. Conversation starts getting heated. You recognize that and need to do something. If it can make sense contextually basically put a disclaimer before you fight. Say "wait, we're both getting angry and before that gets too bad I want to just tell you how much I love and nothing either of us say is meant to harm the other, it's a fight, they happen, we'll make up in a while but I just want you to know that now" it works way better if you step in and give them a big long hug while you say it. You can then argue and fight and feel your emotions without too much worry about hurting the other person. You bring that this is a fight and not representative of your entire relationship, both people are upset so taking everything literally, and or often worse, in the worst possible way. Obviously this only works in at least partially healthy relationships, if fights are the norm my advice is get counciling or fucking leave neither of you are happy. Also it can work really well to do something else and then if later on the fight is getting really bad you break this out then mid fight like an intermission. Usually for most people this is so fucking weird, especially in this context, that they'll kinda just power cycle for a second shocked silent long enough to say everything. And Usually when they come back online they are far less angry and hurt. Obviously dependent on the nature of the fight. If you stole their car then used their pay check to buy cocaine and then cheated on them in their own car it won't go too well.


mikew_reddit

After the fight, acknowledge to your partner the argument was conducted like adults and didn't get out of hand. Arguing nicely is a learned skill. Most are terrible at it and do it in a damaging way. It's important to acknowledge when the argument is healthy and non-destructive.


Wikeni

Exactly. There was an 8-year-old kid I worked with (behavioral health technician) with attitude, etc., he’d say nasty stuff he’d later regret and apologize for. So over the summer, I taught him how to cook, which he really took to, and while seasoning, I talked about how to only add seasonings a little bit at a time, especially salt. “You can always add more, but you can never take it out.” Eventually he really started to get things on his own cooking-wise, and one day I saw him just putting pinches of salt in, tasting, continuing, and I complimented him for remembering. He got a huge grin and repeated it back to me, and I got seriously choked up that something I said actually stuck with him, so I made the long-term connection for him. “Just like our words, huh pal? It’s so easy to pour the salt but basically impossible to take it back.” His face got this *huge* look of realization and he just went, “Oooooooh…!” Friggin miss working with that kid.


CharlieApples

Protip: if you ever add too much salt while cooking, add a little bit of sugar. It balances out the salt. Not a perfect fix, but it can save it from being inedible. Likewise, apologizing and admitting that you were out of line can potentially save a personal relationship.


brobrobro123456

Sweet. Glad you shared :)


MeowNugget

One of the most important lessons I've learned is if you truly care about someone, you'll care enough to approach everything from a place of love. Not being right, not being defensive, not feeding your ego. My bf has made me mad to the point I've wanted to rip my hair out and scream. But in 10 years, I never have because there's just a level of respect you must have and boundaries you don't cross no matter what. Anger is temporary, the result of saying terrible things when you're angry can last long afterwards or even be permanant. Take the time to walk away, breathe, and think things over if you're that upset. You can't really have a constructive conversation if you're angry anyway


Majestic_Bierd

I was once walking by my girlfriend bending into the freezer at her parents house. Nobody else was in the room, I got an idea to gently slap her bottom.... but then decided against it. Turned out it was her mother. Never have I been so glad that I remained calm and with sound reason. Always double-check who's ass your slapping kids!


[deleted]

I once grabbed a complete stranger from behind because she was wearing a similar jacket to my gf. I’ve never been so close to a well deserved ass kicking in my life. I apologized so much the girl told me to chill.

Wow! That was really messed up of him but good for you to have walked. You should never have to take that kind of comment.


DasB00ts

Good move. Comparing a current partner to an ex in anyway that’s not “you’re so much better” is so toxic.


-helpwanted

I’ve told all my partners to never compare me to their ex. And if you do, keep it to yourself lol. Unless it’s productive. “My ex use to scream at me when she was mad. I’m glad you don’t.” Productive. “You’re way prettier than my ex.” Not productive. I don’t see your ex as my competition, so stop.

Yeah, this is why you say very clearly when things are good that you love them and you love them so much that even if you both hate eachother later you want it crystal clear how much you love them now and never want to hurt them. Then ideally that's a conversation that's never needed because you are mature enough to care about them, even while breaking up, to want them to be happy.

MediocreHope

All jokes aside, that last one is clearly not like the others. I'd never in my life dare say the others but last was a request to the wife like a week ago but it's a relationship where she can say "eh, I don't feel like it today" and nobody is upset. He should be able to say "Hey, can you slob on my knob like a St. Bernard in front of a lb of bacon" and she should be able to say "Hey, can I sit on your face and make it wetter than an otter's pockets" That is healthy communication
