  • Yup. I’ve never really felt compelled to steal anything at all in my life, but I found some silverware like this at a restaurant one time and I don’t think I had much of a choice.

    Once I felt that ideal shape in my hand, with the perfect amount of heft distributed exactly as it should be, I knew I could never go back to using regular flat silverware.

    The waiter caught me trying to clumsily hide the one set, and then he brought me a second one to take home as a gift. It was one of the nicest things, I’ll never forget it.


  • She seems to have only the best intentions, but I can’t help but feel a little creeped out. She’s using a psychological trick to leverage this man’s trauma in order to get him to behave in a certain way, and she’s doing it without his knowledge or consent. I think that’s dishonest at the very least, and I don’t think building the foundation of your relationship on calculated manipulation is going to lead to a good outcome.

    I’d even go as far as saying her emotional intelligence creates a power imbalance in the relationship, which she is deliberately exploiting.
