What the FUCK, Matilda's ex?
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?
'The Message'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.
My not having had a romantic LTR really at all before 49 has a unique set of challenges, I think. Who knew? (Probably everyone.) And other challenges are universal no matter how much experience one has had at relationshipping, I imagine.
All true. There are a multitude of great reasons to share your life with another, but anyone who claims it is all easy just isn't telling the truth.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I agree that the universe needs to stop throwing bullshit at David and Matilda. God DAMN.

When people say that relationships are hard work, a lot (A LOT) of the time it sounds like they're equating it to enduring painful toiling for very little in return (like working in a sweatshop or something). And I don't know; maybe that's true for them, and that makes me sad for them. Because yeah, there's (at least for me) ongoing work in sustaining a relationship, and sometimes it's hard, but it's more like hard work doing something you love, like if you're into cosplay or historical reenactment -- making those costumes is hard fucking work, sometimes tedious and sometimes frustrating. But ultimately it's hard work in service of something that's incredibly fulfilling that brings you a lot of joy. So you stick with the hard tedious part because you know what's on the other side of it.

Excellent analogy, Teppy.

I would like to discuss all hard tasks over nachos. That sounds preferable to not nachos.

I haven't had lunch yet and now I want nachos.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nachos do sound like a good idea and I might be able to make that happen. For me, probably not the rest of you, sorry. Although a Nacho Fairy would be wonderful

Agreed!

Lunch update: I did not have nachos. (Turkey sandwich and snap peas with hummus. Tasty, but definitely not nachos.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have tacos planned for tomorrow, but now I would also like nachos, thank you.
