What are some things you wonder are "just you", OR don't think you're alone in?

- Am I the only person who thinks crackers take away from the taste of cheese?

- Am I the only person who is creeped out by couples who refuse to do anything away from each other except work?

Ideally, you want to have crackers that also taste good, so it adds to the flavor of the whole package

That's my cheese and crackers theory

nayrt It's a very sound theory and I endorse it wholeheartedly.

Also, I wanted to say that Akmak crackers are the fucking truth in this regard

Love that kind of cracker

Crackers are the only thing that make cold cheese tolerable.

I agree!! And cheese takes away from the taste of crackers. Occasionally I stumble on a combo that actually complements each other but 98% of the time I'd rather eat crackers and cheese separately (and I love them both so this works out).

I'm sort of guilty of #2. It's not that I absolutely refuse to do anything without my husband, it's just that his time off is limited so we prefer to spend it together most of the time. I'll run errands and get groceries on my own, but all of our social time is usually as a couple. I've no doubt we come off as looking joined at the hip from an outside perspective, though.

I like my cheese with crackers, but yeah, I'm creeped out by couples like that - mostly because I'm not at all like that in my relationships.

I gotta be honest, if i was in a relationship it'd take a pretty long time before the thrill of someone wanting to spend that much time with me would go away. maybe never.

I'm the anon from above who spends a lot of time with her husband and yeah, this is pretty much it. We've been married for 10+ years now, and maybe calling it a thrill isn't entirely accurate, but it's... I don't know, really cozy and comfortable? We're both introverts, so spending time with other people is quite draining. But spending time together isn't. He's my best friend and vice versa.

honestly this is the cutest thing

Yes. Not just taste but the dry texture is very unpleasant when contrasted with good cheese.

My sickeningly co-dependant girfriend and I both kindly request that you such our collective dick.

This is a weird, kind of off-topic tangent, but I swear to god you might just be my ex-boyfriend. At the least, you share a lot of personality quirks with him.

On the off chance you are, I genuinely wish you well, and I'm glad that you're so happy with someone.

Some crackers do take away from the flavor of the cheese. I wonder if there are good cheese/cracker pairings like there are wine/food pairings...

Your second point sounds like my bf and me. :( Doesn't help that we're both pretty introverted.

-I like to seek out complementary cracker/cheese combinations, or else get crackers that are still tasty on their own but bland enough not to distract from the cheese.

-I'm not creeped out, although as a single person over 35, I'm a little frustrated when couples seem reluctant to hang out with single friends. It's like my social life vanished. I'm cool being a third wheel or half a single friend tag-team, but apparently that's not allowed. I'm starting to think I want a boyfriend as much to get people to spend time with me socially again as I do for the companionship of the boyfriend.

re: #2, as another anon mentioned, sometimes it just happens because couple's have limited spare time and would like to spend it with each other, even if it's in the company of friends. sometimes it also happens because after a while it's just assumed that every invitation one half of a couple gets if for both of them - so one half of the couple not going can actually be seen as rude. I've had times when a friend has been annoyed with me for bring my boyfriend, and other times when they've been annoyed with me for not.

Considering the above, if you'd like to spend time with a friend without their SO, just ask clearly - 'hey, can we hang out just us two? i love hanging out with [insert SO's name here] but i've been really craving a girly/ one on one catch up lately!' And if the person refuses after you ask nicely, well then, maybe they are a weirdo.

You're not the only one creeped out by that. I love my husband dearly, but damn, we both need time to do stuff that's not just hanging out with each other.

Just me. Can't orgasm. :(

I wish more people had chimed in on this one.

I can, myself, but I had a friend who'd never been able to, so I don't think it's extremely uncommon or anything. And then if you're on any sort of anti-depressant or other heavy-duty mental health medication, I'm pretty sure it's very common to not be able to.

All it takes is one single low-dosage SSRI or SNRI and suddenly I can't orgasm for the life of me. :(

Anyway, I'm sorry anon. I have my own ways in which sex is difficult or disappointing for me, and I totally get what a bummer it can be.

Yo.

I mean I can but it takes forever. Even in the best circumstances deciding to pound off is a 45 minute commitment.

I have issues with that as well. :/ Or like, I get a nice pleasurable sensation but not like, that massive sense of release and it's frustrating.

nyart but same here. It gets so frustrating!

TMI

Tensing and forcing pee out rather than relaxing and letting it flow out.
