Op with extra details

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you secret maker!!!

I feel like it's necessary to tell that he's 40 and I'm 36. You gotta love that teenage bullshit can last so long. We both have useless bachelor's degrees and are in nightschool to get a career in something we can actually make money doing. (I don't think anyone in the class is under 25.) Welcome to millennial life!

Why doesn't he like Chappell Roan? My best guess is it was a moment of simple "ew girl stuff". So actually I guess you gotta love how long elementary school bullshit lasts. From what I know about him he's extremely liberal (particularly in LGBTQIA stuff), so I'm not thinking it's a homophobia thing.

As a coda to the secret in general: what's making me grumpy right now is that I've had this wallpaper since last year and I'm really ready to change it. But now it feels like if I do I'm admitting defeat. And this guy has continued to be so genuinely nice to me otherwise and not pushy so I don't even know what to do with that. But we'll be in this program together for at least a year, so I'm just taking a wait and see approach.

Good luck on your classes!

That's really bewildering, because his behaviour was so juvenile that my brain didn't even consider adult education

Record scratch, this is an adult man auto-scoffing? Whew. I'm 39. My partner is 46. I thought you guys were actual 20-somethings lol. Immediately scoffing at something I like is a no deal for me (and I, in turn, do not immediately scoff at things other people like); I know some people are really casual and into teasing but that's not a dynamic I'm interested in and haven't been since my late-twenties.

But I totally get how you responded. My default is to downplay my interests when someone seems to disapprove. It's so annoying. :\

Get a wallpaper of a different chappel roan look!

also, if he's generally chill, I'd keep giving him a chance. we're allowed to disagree with people's taste, you know? as much as that flinch response sucks, it's not actually his fault that society tries to make women feel that way, it's good for us to learn to say 'yeah I like this thing and I don't have to scare about the random scoffs of even people we are or would like to be close to'. My best friend in the world is my brother, and there's lots of stuff each other loves that we're both a little bit 'ok come on tho' for the other. I think it's way more important that you feel like he respects you as a person, than whether he respects a random pop star, even one you like.

All in all, wait and see sounds like a good approach!

Wait and see se

Being dismissive of someone else's interests isn't nice. You'd think that a 40 year old would have learned that already.

Do you know how he treats other people, particularly people who have no clear power over him (service staff, janitorial, other students he's not working with)?
