God the macro counting thing is so true for him.. I once briefly dated a guy who did not "like" sugar and when I asked about it he responded with AND I QUOTE "what use do I have for it" like ???? PLEASE meanwhile I turn into a demon if I don't eat sugar every 5 hours. we did not work out but bless his self-punishing ass and 8 pack!
Also once read someone saying modern aemond is patrick bateman coded which unfortunately is very true. Like you know that man has a 20 step skincare and haircare routine with the bougiest well-researched products (this is also true of westeros aemond like have you seen that silky mane that man had the westerosi version of a hair straightener invented to wake up 3 hours early brush his hair 500 times, straighten it with an iron, and put 10 different oils and creams into it before he is ready to go out). modern aemond is the same. wakes up at 4 am for his insane wellness and beauty morning routine he has to get through before it's scheduled time to wake up his wife by eating her out
BESTIE same i dated a guy who didn’t even like fruit bc he said it was just too much,,, and while it ended as poorly as his attitude the self punishment had indeed paid off, why are men like this!!!!
AND I’M HOLLERING bc he is so patrick bateman,,, this man’s apartment is immaculate, his hair is pristine, his skincare is meticulously thought out for all million steps, his nails are perfection (which all the better bc when he goes and acts as his wife’s alarm clock, they better be both clean and smooth bc they’re going inside of her almost immediately)
i think this man is just someone who doesn’t need as much sleep as regular people, bc he’s up at 4, going to the gym, doing his routine, making valaena breakfast, and waking her up on time to drive her to get her little sugary coffee before work
every part of his life is ordered, controlled, especially his routine

The only reason why transphobes always ask “what is a woman” instead of “what is a man” is because we all know that a man is a featherless biped.

Bruce gets accosted by reporters and one of them asks "Is it true that you're in competition with Superman to win Batman's affections?" and he is so taken aback bc what the fuck are they even talking about? There are a million questions going through his head such as, since when was superman into batman? since when was this public knowledge? wtf did bruce say to imply that he was into batman as well? And he doesn't have an answer to any of these questions so he just smiles and says, "No, I'm not. The word competition implies that Superman has a chance, which he does not."
why did he say that? Bruce doesn't know, it just felt like that's how Bruce Wayne would've responded bc what's more Brucie than fighting with Superman for Batman's heart? anyway, upon reflection, this was maybe not the best response in terms of long term consequences, but he's committed to the bit now.
a week after all this goes down, news reporter Clark Kent is caught saying that Batman deserves better than Bruce Wayne, so is a third suitor putting his hat in the ring to win over batman?

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
