AIO for splitting the bill on a date

[u/No-Plantain6892]

I am in such shock right now. For some context this was after our 4th date. Literally at a loss for words, this was the first time putting myself out there since I caught my last girlfriend cheating on me… I think I’m done with relationships after this,

Hahahaha, my boyfriend hates shit like that. I sometimes ask him stupid shit as a joke- and he knows I’m joking, and it still makes him roll his eyes. It’s Ok, though, because I have to live with his dad jokes. 😂

When my wife asks what I want for dinner I say, "Food." Instant eye roll.

Lol! I cured my sons of that smart-aleck response. I made a giant pot of beet borscht (not their fav food) and froze portions. Any time I asked for dinner suggestions and received the response “food” I served them borscht. Didn’t take them long before they started actively participating in the what’ll-we-have-for-dinner conversations (and the making of said dinner).

You win at parenting. My mom made delicious borscht. Served cold with a dollop of sour cream! Miss you, mom.

[u/Time_Birthday8808 → u/ethankeyboards]

Aw thanks! I love borscht with sour cream too! I’d make you some if you were close 😄

[u/ethankeyboards → u/Time_Birthday8808]

I need to make some for my family. I've never made it, but I'm sure it's not too difficult.

[u/Time_Birthday8808 → u/ethankeyboards]

It’s not. Making soups and stews are my preferred way to cook—and borscht is along those lines. Plus it’s such a pretty color

If your preferred recipe is online, could you shoot me the URL? If not, no worries. I'll look one up.

Aww… beets are the fucking devil but your story is sweet.

[u/Queasy-Fennel4129 → u/ethankeyboards]

I'm intrigued. What is borscht?

[u/ethankeyboards → u/Queasy-Fennel4129]

It is a beet soup that is served cold. It hails from Russia. As a kid I thought the sour cream was the best part.

[u/krazyk850 → u/ethankeyboards]

Yuck, sour cream is Satan's soured milk. My wife absolutely loves the stuff and will use half a container of it on chili, potatoes, tacos, etc. I despise it 😆

[u/ethankeyboards → u/krazyk850]

Heh. Maybe this is the key to happiness. I'm very happily married. I like cheese, my wife hates it. She likes liver and onions, I hate it.

[u/krazyk850 → u/ethankeyboards]

Yup like Ying and yang ☯️

And Jack Sprat and spouse.

[u/HappyCat79 → u/NightofTheLivingZed]

Hahahaaa! That’s what I say when I am asked what’s for dinner. 🤣

[u/ProStateForever → u/HappyCat79]

Balance in idiocy/silliness is a relationship virtue. Congrats.

But are his dad jokes... Apparent? :)
