My [26M] girlfriend [24F] of two years always includes poetry in cards she gives me. I'm not into it.Relationships (self.relationships)

submitted 8 days ago by nomorepoetry

I'll start by saying I love my girlfriend. I think she's beautiful, intelligent, and very caring. We get along together extremely well. We moved in together after only 2 months but have never had any major fights. We just work. It's a great feeling

Which makes me realize that this gripe is minor, so I don't know how to address it. Every card I have ever received from my girlfriend (birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's day etc) has included poetry. On one side she'll write something short, but sweet and thoughtful, which I like. On the other side, she'll write a few lines from a poem or other classical literature. I get that she is a librarian and literature is something she's studied extensively and cares about. Frankly, it leaves me cold. I was a stem major and work in a scientific field now, and classical literature, ESPECIALLY poetry, do not interest me in the slightest.

I figured she would pick up eventually that I don't care about the fancy words and much prefer her own, but my birthday recently rolled around and there was poetry in the card. She even made a point of repeating the passage to me. I asked her why she always felt the need to use someone else's words, but she just replied that the words were beautiful and she felt a connection to them and us.

I don't know how to broach this topic without hurting her feelings. I would be fine if she just signed the card, or no card at all. I love this girl, but I'm tired of the poems.

tl;dr: How do I tell my girlfriend to leave the poetic craps off when she writes cards?

and he's getting absolutely taken to the cleaners over that post

yeah true

all these are very strange fantasies

what a moron

thinkpiece abt how the extreme mundanity of the reddit storytelling house style is destroying virgins sexual imagination

it gets better when you imagine them all written by the same 6-10 dudes, a fact that every commenter knows

they're all really obvious or really depressing, followed by the two token commenters on each thread who say the most vile shit

"Two of the site’s most popular posts ever are AMAs: the one with Barack Obama and a conversation with a man with two penises."

Someone please dox that guy and let his girlfriend know what she's gotten herself into.

redditors are revolting lol

keep reddit dark forever imo

its good

the forces of S.T.E.M.

i fucking love silence

lol

it's absolutely insane that redditors feel that they need to know who is getting fired before the person that is getting fired does.

I guess celebrities will just have to answer crowdsourced questions on other websites, talk shows, magazines, reality shows, news programs, etc.

It is funny that the decentralized utopia is falling apart because everyone relied on one person to do the heavy lifting.

theyll all be back shotrly cmon its the source of their meager power

just surprised to see redditors standing up for a woman

what is anybody supposed to get out of that screenshot
