if it's doomed anyway, better for it to end sooner rather than later

God forbid you actually communicate clearly to your partner.

I think the joke is that in the 6+ hours between messages, the ‘relationship’ fell through.
But I do recognize it’s a common trope for the other person to not view you as their person.

But I don’t know. I don’t know what the kids mean by anything these days.

Fanum Tax gave me a chuckle – since the inception of my relationship nearly a decade ago, I’ve ‘stolen’ food, required kisses, or beckoned my now-wife over so I could touch her inappropriately whenever I’ve had to do something I didn’t want to do (regardless of whether the activity was for her, our relationship/household/whatever). To explain myself, I say “Tax!” and it’s become understood that it’s, well, not so much a tit-for-tat exchange, as it is a morale booster or a cheeky way of flirting with her.
It’s a cornerstone of our silly relationship dynamic. I’m glad the kids are catching up to my rizz.

Tit for tax? 😉

Sometimes. 😇

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what the joke is either, to be honest.

Lmao me @ my partner every time I go on a date and it's a flop

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Telling your partner when you go on a date?

Well, polyamorous relationships exist, or maybe it’s a relationship a la

Wait does that count as polyamory?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

By definition I think it is polyamory for the cucker, but not for the cuckee
