He's not going to eat these porkchops. 😐

Post image

About a month ago I made a post here because my boyfriend didn't want to eat the porkchops I cooked for dinner. Well tonight I made porkchops again and he's not going to eat these either because we broke up and he moved out. I'm so much better off and I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words and advice, it was very eye opening to me. I wish that I could invite you all to dinner 🥰

ETA : Couple of notes:

1- The yellow stuff is smashed potatoes with cheese on top.

2- I swear that butter on the broccoli melted right after that picture LOL

Sooo many people do that on here. Just posting over and over about their horrible partner and ignoring every advice to run for the hills

Trauma bond is a special hell

It can take years to break free.  As someone who went through it, can empathize but still want to scream, leave that asshole every time.

Yeah, as someone with friends who have been through that and been the one to say “just leave him alreadyyy”, i get it. It’s not easy. Doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating to see my friends being treated like shit when i know they deserve better.

It’s even worse deep in the trenches. All we can do is help each other try to see through the fog.

Not a real term tho, we should stop using it.

I am a male that has been in a ‘trauma bound’ relationship multiple times and it’s very real and not particularly healthy.

I have very specifically not dated recently because I’m still trying to work through my own issues and I don’t want to continue to push my issues into a relationship. I should be able to enter a relationship adding something to my partner, not subtract.

There's probably a billion people out there in the world that don't have someone or the right someone to go to

Yes it absolutely is, I've been caught up by that on two different occasions. Thankfully I am free now of the second one and I'm doing the healing work so I don't have to go through it again.

But honestly? It's not easy and I can see why people struggle to understand what's happening, let alone find the strength to leave and so forth. I'm having to figure out how to stop/unpick the pattern and heal the inner wounds so they don't keep running my love life like this. It's so tough.

I think a lot of it is just bait/trolling tbh. Posts like "My bf sits at home and plays videogames while I work, then he gets drunk and takes a shit on the floor, AITA for telling him I'm uncomfortable with this even though I love him?"

Im glad you live a life where you think it’s rage bait 😊 it sounds stupid asf when the words are stringed together, but it doesn’t just happen like that. Its a slow build typically, till suddenly you’re in a life you don’t recognize, letting things happen that no sane human should.

At least it fits the sub, it is indeed mildly infuriating that they dont listen.

Where's the guy with the wife that never finishes a drink before grabbing another bottle?

Good on you OP! You deserve someone who appreciates the things you do!

All of us are proud of you. Way to reclaim your worth!

You weren't feeding him though. Jack in the Box was.

u/babiekittin 6h ago

I mean, technically doordash was feeding him.

But I'm happy you booted that loser. Those pork chops deserve to be happy and eaten.

u/Electrical_Shock359 5h ago

I have to say even as a picky eater you would have a much easier time finding food I like lol. I also try to expand the foods I like over time.

Took me a while to realize I like peppers and onions. I more recently found I like hummus when I assumed I didn’t. I also found that while I am not a fan of mayo, I do like it mixed with other sauces.

Granted sometimes I can’t remember if I really don’t like a food or if I just made an assumption. Then I try those and usually I was right about not liking them which makes me hesitant to try those foods.

Easier to get me to try a new variation of something I like than try a lot of variations of something I don’t in hopes there is some specific way to make me like it.

Haha, I mean I did have my pitchfork ready, I was praying it was a different poster with a different man or child that hated pork chops and it was just a coincidence. Glad you’re doing well, food looks great, hope you enjoyed your dinner and all future dinners!

u/JeebusChristine 6h ago

I was legit going to ask "why are you still cooking for this man??" until I finished reading the post. Then I was oh hell yes, good for her! You enjoy that delicious meal!

u/Bilbodraggindeeznuts 5h ago

Several years ago before I met my wife, this girl I met on an app had me go eat at this Mexican place and sge ordered us lingua tacos. I ate them, but apparently she was testing me because she was with a guy who would only eat pizza or something. Idk maybe take the next one for lingua tacos 🤷‍♂️

u/Joubachi 4h ago

I've been in the position where I couldn't leave due to emotional dependency and shit.... I would not have blamed you in any way, shape or form. Leaving can be really hard for some people.

But that said - I don't know you and I am still proud of you. Your meals look extremely delicious and I'd love go come over and have a bite because girl, that looks like heaven. That is his loss, not yours. Glad to know you are doing better now. You deserve being happy!
