So I am American I live in Europe everyone speaks English here w an accent. I’m not going to correct anyone especially because American English is the bastard child of the UK’s proper English. Especially w all the dialects and enmeshment of words in American English.
I just don’t vent to my friends who are going through something. If they are and I don’t know about it, they don’t really have to engage at all or just say “sorry x is going on”
We don’t expect immediate replies though, ever. When we text we aren’t carrying on a real-time conversation most of the time, and if we are we can stop replying at any time without notice. It’s just understood that we have other things going on – work, kids, etc. So if I rant at my best friend about something at work it’s totally fine if she replies 8 hours later or the next day or whatever. And unless we have something to say about the situation, we can just reply “that sucks” “oh fuck him”. I mean, we aren’t each other’s therapists.
It was a “situationship”. My current boyfriend and I tried an open relationship for a while.
Now you put it like that it truly makes sense I really appreciate those words
Then don’t introduce them, or at least for a long time.
Get a new boyfriend not a patronising AH.

This is BS. Nobody is that oblivious. You want to think he is, but what's really going on is the usual…he likes the attention.
