    As the dude who wears loud clothes every so often, to the total chagrin of my partner, that compliment you have was the payoff from a dozen “that’s ugly” vs a dozen “nah it’s dope”. Thank you for settling the debate. Lmao

      That’s always been my theory and I would feel bad about it (due to potentially fostering further conflict in a couple), but the fact that she was smiling while she rolled her eyes made me feel a lot better.

      That’s why it’s one of my favorite memories of that kind of interaction.

        Not all conflict is bad. Healthy couples have pet peeves like that that actually bring them together rather than push them apart.

      Your vocabulary is awesome, and you’re awesome for making it that way.

      Also thank you for teaching me a new word.
