Just sitting here remembering the time I moved in with my gay couple friends. I had gone to Napa 2 years prior and ordered some expensive wines from a vineyard that I kept for special occasions and to gift people. one night I was out studying for my PMP and some of their friends stopped by and instead of going to the store they decided to open a bottle of my expensive wine and serve to their bum ass friends without my permission. I'm still friends with them but I think about that often in rage

Seriously. I've gotten better at setting them. I was just so surprised at the audacity. And of course they couldn't replace it for obvious reasons

It adds nothing to the story and mentioning it implies it has something to do with the situation.

Live on your own. Doesn’t sound like good friends to have if they can’t comprehend basic respect

M1. I remember they tried to replace it but the vineyard didn't ship single bottles. They offered to get an equivalent but I don't think they did. I moved out shortly after

Yikes. I feel this for all the obvious reasons, but also because I also have a couple of bottles from Napa and Sonoma sitting and if someone drank them? 🗡

like

Yo so many of these estates, you can't even get their wine online! Just be like "Np! Lmk when you'll replace the bottle, since you obviously know you need to! 😊"

I get the frustration and I’ve been in similar circumstances where my nice bottles have been taken. Best advice I can give is to just get over it. It’s done and can’t be undone. If you let that bottle determine or put a valuation on what sounds like a good friendship, you might be the one selling it short. Just a thought.

like

Napa is great. Frame your thinking like you have another reason to go back and get more great wine. Personally, I like Sonoma a lot more but that’s just splitting hairs.

You probably can find a replacement!

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago.

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
