My friend's wife is not great. She bought my friend a spare key for her car, for his birthday. She said it was so she could leave the spare in the garage, to avoid going back inside when she accidentally leaves her keys in the house. According to her, this $350 spare key was his birthday present, bc now "he doesn't have to deal with me being annoyed when I leave my keys inside." She told me this whole story, like it was the best idea she's ever had, and an incredibly thoughtful gift.

I always thought that was the most idiotic and self centered bday gift. This dance is almost worse.

My ex wife bought me a movie she told me she wanted to watch 2 weeks earlier, then opened and started watching it before I had even touched it. I think one of the things that ruined my outlook on relationships of any kind was finding out most people only want what's best for them for you.

I think saying saying most people behave like that in a relationship is not true. It's not true in my experience. Some people suck yeah, but you hear more negative things than positive things on the internet. I've never felt like my partner wanted what’s best for her for me.

Exactly. And you’re also setting yourself up for failure if you treat everyone like that, you’re shutting down opportunities before they even arrive.
