My first serious boyfriend taught me how to change the oil, change a tire, and rotate the tires on my car. Also that I don’t like anal.
Hmmm. Technique and protocol is important in all of these.
Did it hurt?
Bahaha! Yeah, when he whipped out that 4-way tire iron…
A tire iron up your ass? No wonder you don’t like anal
Never heard a phallus called that. Youch
I applaud the first part.
Rotating the tires is really important! I really hope you do it every month as the manufacturer requires. Few people do.
Integration of trigonometric functions.
Oof tricky
I’m so sorry
I was raised in a relatively high wealth family. Not personal jet rich, but still rich enough that we were going on vacation to fancy places a lot, dad had pretty cars, a big house, we went on ski trips, and played golf, etc. My wife was raised by a single mother with a more or less absentee father, working where she could to raise her two girls.
I already knew I was lucky and privileged, my parents kept telling my siblings and I, but it never really registered to me just how much. The skill I learned a lot about is empathy, I think.

Suck the roof of your mouth with your tongue to stop a sneeze.
Why though? The thing that was supposed to be sneezed is gonna be still there?
She had nasal surgery. Doc taught her this to prevent sneezing out the packing.
Aaaahh!
Lol will try this
Pushing your tongue to the roof of your mouth can also stop “brain freeze” from cold foods/drinks.
I drew Fire from Ifrit once.
I recommend dating a chef long enough to learn how to cook, that is a super helpful skill
So, how do you do your onions?
They are so particular about how onions are cut, and also salt and peppering EVERYTHING
OK, but the salt and pepper make a difference.
Its legit
Back massage.
Does him teaching me how to kiss count?
How to say so when something isn’t good enough. I’m super prone to just accept shitty delivery/products/service. My wife is amazing at saying “I was super disappointed” but in a way that gets the other person on board and often rectifies the issue. She’s super awesome at expressing limits without aggression and it’s definitely made me a better person to be around; before I would accept my own borders being crossed while the pressure was building and then explode with rage. Much easier to deal with things up front and then be authentic. Still learning but she’s great at this.
How to listen to a woman’s intent over her words.
Adding salt to your ketchup when eating fries, instead of salting the fries. That way it’s always salty enough on every fry. Such an easy hack.
My wife taught me to cook and that I was allowed to have feelings. I taught her a bunch of computer stuff and that she was allowed to have feelings.
My ex taught me how to crochet, which was pretty cool of her. I’ve always wanted to do stuff with yarn and having somewhere there to guide and correct me was so useful. I’m not sure I would have stuck with it if I tried to learn via online tutorials.
Thinking before speaking. I would just sort of stream of consciousness it before. I still do sometimes, because I like the surprising things that come out of my mouth, but it’s handy to be able to rein it in when nessa

Omg, thanks I hate it…is this a thing? I mean I might love it, not sure yet.
Definitely not a “thing,” and extra definitely not contemporary.
I’ve only ever known one other person to say it, and that was the ex partner my comment above was about! They had a really playful way of speaking, and I realise in retrospect I’ve unconsciously taken on a lot of their little idiosyncrasies.
I had to look it up, but it looks like it’s a reference to this line from High Anxiety with Mel Brooks.
Love it. Thanks!
