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.

I bought a sourdough starter from the local folks I've been buying bread from since they're closing up shop till next spring and I'm terribly daunted by the daily feeding routine this yeast requires and there are so many more steps involved in baking sourdough, it's a multi day process..
But I can't Not have my weekly sourdough and it's been a dream of mine to learn how to do this proficiently so I'm determined to give it my best effort. I also learned that my friend really likes sourdough so being able to supply them with fresh bread is a HUGE motivation for me.
Wish me luck (and if you have any experience/tips feel free to share cause I have no fucking clue what I'm doing and the instructions they gave me with the starter are a bit confusing 😅)
