Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

move out and draw fire

If you see a couple where one is way better looking than the other, you can be sure there's some other element balancing that out.

Yeah, usually the ugly one is rich as shit.

somebody please make me go and grade.

Don't look to me. Stay here and chat.

I kind of look forward to the day I'm old enough to be able to say really rude shit to people and get a pass. Of course, I still think the response to relatives who ask why you aren't married yet is "You think anyone would voluntarily join this family?!?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nilly -- So, you're not grading yet? (This is the passive-agressive Irish-American form of the question.)

What kind of passive-agressive is it if you say, "Fine. Don't grade. See if I care."?

Punishingly Intricate

you're a seven, but when you mind your posture you're a definite eight. Also, smiling more couldn't hurt.

HAH! Awesome. Minding my posture would also help with my stupid upper back pain.

The evil is this way?

What kind of passive-agressive is it if you say, "Fine. Don't grade. See if I care."

The kind one of my sisters is the master of.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sheesh, Gud, did he at least give you decent severance?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My folks have stopped asking me when I'm getting married. My various aunts and uncles never started. Since they're not really huge on boundries about other topics, I sometimes wonder if they know something I don't. But on the whole I'm happy with the situation as it stands.

My parents never asked, and then I did. Any of y'all who are being nagged are welcome to quote the example at your parents, aunts, or random strangers who like to get in your business.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My parents ask about my love life because a) they want grandkids and b) they don't think I can be trusted to look after myself.

I can't disagree with either of those points, but I hope they understand a boyfriend/husband won't guarantee a fix to either issue.

Everyone else has NO business with it at all -- they're just digging for goss.
