9. Love, Salmon, and Sulk
Back when I was living with an ex, I was working as much as possible while also walking a couple of miles to college every day. He worked full-time at what was a very easy, nonstressful tech job. I came home and made a lovely salmon dinner with wine, rice, and sautéed veggies.
I got the quiet Youre-such-a-b*tch treatment for an hour because I bought salmon that had the skin on one side. It takes not even 2 seconds to scrape it off with a fork. He went in the bathroom and sulked and, I, naively continuing on with this relationship at the time, scraping the skin off of it myself so he would stop sulking. I’m not proud of it.
