Being your spouse's cheerleader is romantic.
Always complaining about your spouse is not romantic.

This is why I appreciate that we have married friends who stop by to share their wisdom.

The social channels I listen to have been talking about the epidemic of spouses getting online and complaining about their spouses -- and I can't imagine many marriages surviving that.

Worse is the rando internet people validating the complaints without any knowledge of the situation.

The first one I listed is actually more important than the second one.
 
Regarding romantic spaghetti...note the dogs were at a fancy Italian restaurant, the Lady didn't have to cook the meal herself. The Tramp had tramp table manners i.e he shared the dish as he didn't want to pay for two separate dishes.
 
Some good points. But maybe the dawg shared a plate because the portion was perfect to two? :unsure: Half full or half empty Rorschach test, amiright?
hmm well in many European restaurants, like Italian, dishes like spaghetti are not normally shared like say pizza.

Chinese banquets on the other hand..but even then, if having noodles, you each have your own bowl though you might have a dish in the middle of the table that you each take portions from.
 
Now this is getting interesting! Good points, both of you.

I am reminded of a standard mexican restaurant menu item, "Special Dinner For Two" (a little bit of everything.) It usually has a chili relleno, taco, tamale, burrito, guac salad, rice and beans.

But... Even THAT comes on two plates...
 
huh well, I don't know ..I find that rich people tend to assume everyone else they are friends with are also rich and have access to the same priveliges they do.

They often have noooo idea.
what area are you talking about, or what country? one can easily discern who is wealthy & who isn't. but i understand your statement. sometimes rich people play that game to find out what category someone is in. because they may be thinking of becoming friends is 1 reason.
 
I have some very rich friends who are wonderful and generous but also in odd moments they come across as very out of touch.

its much of a muchness. Poor people can hide their poverty because of shame. Rich people hide they are rich cos they don't want anyone else to be richer than them.
wealthy people are taught by their accountants, parents, friends & experiences in life to be on guard all the time. there's much to protect & they train themselves to not let anything or anyone take it away from them.
 
meanwhile, back on track, here's 1 thing romantic & 1 thing non romantic.
romantic: a woman scented as a flower.
non romantic: the opposite of the above.

yea its annoying, esp church people asking what do you do for work. I didn't know why people kept asking this until I found out that they just don't want to hang with a poor person like me. Also...tithes. To rich people, tithes are small change, nothing. To the poor, they are everything. Not having enough to put food on the table and pay bills is very humbling. Often when people come into money or born with silver spoon in their mouth they become proud, and arrogant.

I just don't like that attitude as if money is everything. It makes people feel if they cannot contribute monetarily, they are seen as worthless. There are many reasons why someone would be unemployed, and not just because they could be lazy.

Yes well they become misers. I've also come across racial profiling, like certain people don't like others because they think people of a certain race or greedy, or would steal their stuff.
I mean it happens. but its very uncomfortable if you are the one being judged.

I'm in this club with dwindling membership, and prices have gone up for rent, and some can't afford subs. Some members think raising prices would be too much and then they go to other, richer clubs and feel out of place. It's the whole Titanic class thing I suppose. Can't do anything about it.

That's why men, say they are poor and like a rich girl, would say 'she's out of my league' because they wouldn't be able to afford the lifestyle she's accustomed to. And fair enough because it takes a lot of $$ to maintain, esp if the gal isn't working herself to cover costs of housing, clothing, food, holidays, beauty, pets, hobbies etc not to mention children. Formal dates are also not cheap. A decent dinner, not even in a fine dining restaurant could cost upwards of $100 per head.
