I cooked something earlier. Nothing much, just a simple pasta and sauce thing, which turned out pretty good. But I realised that in the last 5 years, that I have had to adjust the way I cook so that he enjoys it better. In other words, I've had to learn to cook badly, for him.
I've done that because he is worth it. And, sometimes I eat a raw steak just to wind him up*.
That aside, in the past (for others, and possibly recorded somewhere on t'Internet), I have been asked to shave my 'tache (no), get a different job so that I have more time to spend with 'him' (No), and to stop smoking (No). I have gone along to see movies, shows, concerts and exhibitions, for their benefit. I can't think of a single thing that I have suggested that would make people say "Fuck that" because I ain't worth it. OK, but I am not going to type those. (I always thought that my smile and 'come-to-bed' eyes were enough, but, turns out, a crowbar and some kind words will work instead. Who knew!?)
I know who Calum Scott is. And that Alex Parks. And you know, if you hit someone over the head with a hammer enough, they will still fucking hate it, but will know when to say stop.
(Did I ever mention about how I broke up with someone** because of Celine Dion?)
Anyway, anyone else had to compromise for a quiet/better/sensible life? Not necessarily with someone/something (I once had to stop buying crisps because the sound of the packet would freak my cat the fuck out!), but you know "sensible policies for a happier Britain" type thing.
*not true. I threw the sashimi in a pan and cooked it.
**I must have mentioned this. And it wasn't a quickie. It was 7 years.
