Weird and Disturbing

I wouldn’t be able to be around such a guy for more than two hours.

These are not his kids, mind you. And she’s not his wife. His job is a firefighter. Her job is writing on Substack.

She posts it as a flex but it’s creepy and bizarre. I feel boxed in even just reading about it. It’s good that she posts a lot because this feels like a lead up to “a local woman missing” story.

I don’t do this kind of minute caretaking even for my 9-year-old. She fills her water bottle and packs her lunch. With my help most of the time but we are moving towards independence.

Weird and disturbing.

    Ver weird. Very disturbing. I would say creepy if this term had not been overused.

      Right? I saw his photo. He’s nice-looking. Makes a good living. Why is he so desperate?

    This is hilarious. I can’t say I know a single man who’s obsequious like this, but that might just be me. I will say that there are some extremely codependent couples who seem content with what I would consider very extreme levels of enmeshment. Being waited on would drive me bananas, but it seems that if they’re both into it, it works

      That bagel really got to me. What if I don’t want a bagel but now I have to eat it because he went to all this trouble. I’d feel suffocated.
