Turning (the novel)—it’s so beautifully written. I’ve never encountered anything like it and that’s from a translated perspective. It’s not finished yet but I’ll recommend it forever. reply
This definitely depends on the person. Fitness may sort of play into how active of a partner/lifestyle someone wants, so maybe it does maybe it doesn’t but personally I care much more for personality. In any case, I think that putting yourself out there is the only way to be sure. It’s scary but may pay off :) 1 reply
Maybe not a rant but more like advice. My partner is upset with me because sometimes the way I say or text things comes off much colder than I mean to (in hindsight, I’m not good at seeing that I do that).

They know that I don’t mean things harshly but still lets it upset them. It’s also commonly known that I’m not a particularly nice person but I am kind (I don’t say mean things to people for no reason). I have a pretty neutral personality. I have been pondering this all week while they’ve been gone on vacation because I really cannot see how what I said had any mean intonations and I’m starting to wonder if perhaps we are just too emotionally incompatible? I don’t want to second guess my words all the time nor do I want to hurt them but our sensitivity scales seem far different. I’ve never had a partner respond this negatively to my dialogue and it’s sort of links to just who I am which makes it a difficult change and maybe an unnecessary one. Being a sweetie just isn’t me. What do you all think of this? Is emotional incompatibility a thing? I think I’m not ignorant to rude texts/language so I’m at a loss.
