My parents have a terrible relationship and should've divorced years and years ago. I recoil every time I've behaved like them; it's effort to not.

"'Fighting' is not good, if it's per se, but boy... I escaped a relationship partly due to fighting 7, 8 years ago (it turned physical, too, which was a deal-breaker for me). The complete absence of fighting in my new relation though is getting on my nerves. Big time. It's not healthy either.

i have to chime in and say that i think relationships can be great! but indeed, they have caused some of the worst pain i have ever experienced. i mean, having a healthy relationship with yourself is hard enough.

sometimes when you're fighting it's a good idea to have sex and then finish talking after

In ref to your question upthread, J - I don't know if someone else answered this but "tea" is sometimes used in the UK to mean "dinner" (see also "pudding" being used to mean dessert) and yes it can be v v confusing at first.

I am not sure why I put quotations around dinner there. I am not awake yet.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:34 (six years ago) link
oh i dunno if tea is dinner
its more like
they dont have dinner
they have tea or supper
or there is a blurry tea-dinner-supper timeline depending on when you eat
or it can only be tea or supper if you have a buttered piece to mop up
look tbph idk htf they conquered us or anyone else they are a bizzarre cult
― the clodding of the american mind (darraghmac), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:37 (six years ago) link
omg stop it you're making it more confusing
I don't think most people differentiate between supper and dinner here so I could have just said tea is sometimes used to mean the evening meal.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:39 (six years ago) link
also, lol
So is tea never dinner there? Tea is always tea?
Tea is dinner but sometimes dinner is lunch and pudding is dessert unless it's black pudding which is delicious. Guv'nor.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 14 March 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
tea in scotland can def mean dinner in the 'evening meal' sense
high tea is, of course, something completely different

depends on the part of the country you're from, but 'tea' is informal for dinner in my book, especially if it's an early evening / very late afternoon meal.

key q: did you have breakfast first
― in conclusion, it is good to peel the sheeps (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 17:49 (six years ago) link
there's definitely people in scotland (and perhaps elsewhere in britain) who call lunch dinner and dinner tea
i call dinner tea, but never lunch dinner
― Louis Jägermeister (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 17:50 (six years ago) link
its breakfast if u hadnt eaten first otherwise heres the thing imo thats teabreak
― the clodding of the american mind (darraghmac), Wednesday, 14 March 2018 17:52 (six years ago) link
teabreak at 10 is contingent on what time you started work tho imo

i actually love that this all comes down to food bc the fight that made me start this thread was... wait for it... a blowout about WHERE TO GO OUT FOR DINNER
never have i felt more like a fool tbh, the next morning i woke up to a story on world hunger on the cover of the paper.

british ppl would have u believe its purely sort order and not in bands therefore possible to get up early and eat five quick small meals culminating in a supper at 9.30am

I had had a cookie (aka “pudding”), then I went to the dentist and got a mouth full of anesthetic and a filling, then I had the pancakes.
