As a Father that raised 4 daughters with my wife, chocolate was a line item in the family budget every month.
And while I am no fan of chocolate, one small bar will cover my desire for the stuff for a year, I used to keep a small bar of it on my desk. Just sitting there unopened and uneaten. It drove them all crazy. Are you going to eat that Dad? Can I have it?
Idk my mom has an addiction to chocolate, I just thought that was a girl thing
Uh... you do need something to replace the iron and sugar you're losing.
Wouldn't red meat thus be the ideal period want food?
If you want to be practical. If you want to be romantic, chocolate it is.
Yeah but it doesn't need to be chocolate specifically. For example my fiance is allergic to chocolate. When I can find them there's these maple sandwich cookies she really likes from the health food store.
Should it not be fiancée then?
"my boyfriend wasn't being kind to me. He was just an idiot."
Its still being kind though
Also, people who date never actually talk to one another so there's no way he could have told her that's what he believes
That was my take. Like girl, he knew. It takes 20 seconds to research it.
I am trying to assume it's a joke from her part.
I was guessing it was a joke on both their parts.
you'd be surprised by how many people don't research things
Is this like that addiction excuses? Where they say they don't need it and they can quit anytime they want.
Wait! You mean it's NOT? I'm having a talk with my wife.
So many wives around the world are about to lose their hookup. Way to go OP
Some things were meant to be kept secret.
Dark chocolate has a lot of iron though.
I never knew that.
Date. Years? Shared flat? American words seem to have no meaning. That wasn't dating, that was a commited, dedicated relationship.
Please remember we are a christofascist theocracy so anything besides a church wedding is considered "dating".
Fair enough. The concept of anxiety as a culture is very unpleasant to the mind and as such easily and quickly forgotten.
That's the common verb to use for a romantic relationship where you aren't married or engaged in America. I'm honestly unaware of a different one
We were together for several years
?
Are you quoting this because you think it's in some way contradictory?
No, just providing a way of phrasing for that form of relationship that makes sense to non-Americans.
Dating sounds like you're still in the courting phase (or, well, dating) to many around the world, not in a committed relationship for years and living with each other.
For the record, I wouldn’t say “dating” either, as someone from the U.S., but I wonder if that’s because I’m older or something.
I might say “I had a partner I lived with,” but “dating” for several years sounds ridiculous to me too.
I think it's weird that English doesn't have a word for sambo. Partner sort of works, but it's taken on a connotation of permanent dedication, and is often synonymous with spouse. Cohabitant sounds even more emotionally distant than roommate.

According to this sambo pretty much IS "partner", permanent dedication at all. Though I only skimmed it.
It's just a matter of connotation so maybe not everyone feels the same way, but I feel like if someone introduces their sambo I think they live together right now, but maybe not forever and always, whereas if they introduce their partner I'm going to read it as life partner or non-binary spouse.
Hmmmmm.... interesting. You wouldn't possibly mind interviewing your friends and family on that topic and reporting back, perchance? :D I'd be really interested in if it's more a you thing per a your region thing or actually a nationwide thing. lol
That's honestly kinda sweet.
Depends on the chocolate.
More semi sweet maybe
They broke up so it’s bitter sweet.
I like to think he made a joke about how women need chocolate on their periods as a cute way of giving her a gift every time she was on her period, assuming she didn't think he was that stupid, and it just never came up again.
Or it was just an excuse to get away for some time to get chocolate...
WIFE BAD
HUSBAND STUPID
Before my wife needed a hysterectomy, I would pick her up a box of tampons and a pint of rocky road.
