    Not that I've had great luck in romantic relationships, but oh my god, I think sometimes about my friend who divorced her [first] husband or when she told him that she was going to divorce him the same day as his mom's birthday because she was the one who cleaned the house, spent all day cooking a really fancy meal—because it was like a milestone birthday and the mother-in-law had had a really rough year-and she bought her gifts and got all this stuff. The only thing she asked him to do, she tex

    He shows up at the door, walks in, no flowers, and she's like, "hi, where are the flowers?" And he's like, "I didn't get them." And she goes, "okay, you need to turn around, keep your shoes on, turn around, go back out, pick up some flowers." Like, they live down the street from a grocery store. She also said she didn't even care what kind of flowers, and told him she didn't care. [She said,] "I just wanted some fresh flowers because I thought it would be nice for your mom's birthday dinner to h

    He comes back with two bags of all-purpose flour... Now, she had texted him, F-L-O-W-E-R-S, so he knew. It's not like this was some attempt at doing weaponized incompetence, right? It's not like he was like, "oh, I didn't know you meant flowers. I thought you meant flours." You know what I mean? He's not even doing that. He just was being an ***hole. So, she took the flours, the bags of all purpose flour, and they're like the big ones, put them de d center on the table and just left them there.

    He's like, "what are you doing?" She said, "well, you know, we need a centerpiece and these are flours, so it'll have to do." She's like, "yeah, you know, I don't know. Maybe we'll all have a good laugh about it. Can I get you a drink?" So because she's not taking the bait, he's *issed. He's so grouchy. She just goes and makes him an old fashioned. She's like, "you just sit back, honey, I got this." So then of course his mother shows up and he's putting on a show acting like he had anything to d

    And apparently he had tried to take the flours off of the table and my friend was like, "no." So then mother-in-law walks in and is like, "what's this about? Why are there two sacks of flour on the dining table?” So my friend just looks her de d in the eye and she goes, "well I told your son to please pick up some flowers. I reminded him about a week ago and yesterday and today and then he walked in without them and I said, 'honey can you please go and get [actual flowers]' and he came back with

    Her mother-in-law looks at her son and goes, "You did what?!" Because that's the kind of *hit that his dad used to do to her. Which is why they weren't married anymore. Like, she divorced his dad because he was an ***hole. And he would do all this kind of *hit to go out of his way to make her life harder. So like... Apple trees, you know. My friend's still playing it cool, she's like, “yeah, you know, he does this sort of thing all the time."

    So like, he's caught off guard and he wants to make a scene, but he's never done this *hit in front of his mom. I think he probably had to some degree but has not been called on it like this and and put on the spot. So they have dinner, my friend is being effortlessly charming as always, and carrying the dinner on her back. Everything goes smoothly as soon as the door closes from mother-in-law leaving, she turns to him and says, "I want a divorce. You can sleep in the guest room." And what's fun

    What an honor to have gotten to witness that. I wasn't there, but I was getting the texts in real time. It was beautiful. Oh, oh, and then when she got remarried, her maid of honor got up there and was like, “and I know he'll always buy flowers. F-L-O-W-E-R-S." It was so funny. It was like a small handful of us knew exactly why she was spelling it and everybody else was like, "uhhh, cute... I'm missing something." And then there's like a little corner of us who were like internally bl ding [beca
