[@reecejohs3334]

The only thing I could think of where I would platonically send that to someone is if like my good friend had a loss in the family or something and the heart could be in response to me giving them condolences or something and then I respond like “I’ll be thinking about you if you need me” or something.

Second story: My husband's best friend's wife was like that with me! She hated me from the jump for some reason and did everything in her power to belittle me, ignore me and just be rude every time she was around me. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt at first but then i noticed that she only did it when my husband wasnt in the room or within earshot, so it was absolutely deliberate. My husband didn't believe me for a while either because he only ever saw her be nice to me but our other friends confirmed that it was 100% happening. Luckily, the friend divorced her a few years later anyway. ✌🏻

[@jocomfiresin6982]

Eh. You can. Marriage has nothing to do with love to begin with. It's financial and relgious. I view the common belief equating the two as a major contributor to the failure of numerous marriages. It's a strong implication that the relationship isn't even real before you marry. 😅 If the relationship isn't valid to you I'm out. Marriage won't make it more valid. It'll just feel hallow broken and become a prison. Resentment will quickly fester. Howrver, I do agree with your first point. Friendship and trust are the main things that maintain and form a romantic relationship not just that spark we associate with the desire to breed or the comfort and security we commonly associate with most romantic scenarios.

[@dragonsman4733]

@@jocomfiresin6982 I partly disagree. The original purpose of marriage has everything to do with love, it was a promise to stay loyal to each other so that they can raise kids, rather than having kids beforehand when they don't have the proper preparations, and cheat on each other later on the small chance they get bored rather than a healthy divorce that benefits the family still. It's why Christians have sex after marriage, as to create a final tie of the knot to the relationship, and be responsible. Unfortunately with bad economy, inflation, etc, it's been twisted into a financial thing, and turned into what you just described for a lot of non religious people.

[@ginsi936]

​@@jocomfiresin6982In todays socioeconomic world marriage is much less forced between two parties as a woman is no longer incapable of doing basic societal things such as buy a house without their husband on the side. Thus women have a bigger right to choose their partner and this often leads to them being in love with eachother. However I do see your point, as it wasn't a love thing like 400 or more years ago. Back then it was just a basic thing women and men both had to do and if someone was not married at a late age, I would assume they got ridiculed because of it. Thus there being social pressure for both men and women and financial pressure for women.

[@moczs]

​@@jocomfiresin6982 Even though many arranged marriage happened for those reasons, it's not necessarily the case. Both western juridical and religious systems imply that love is (normally) supposed to unite the two lovers. According to most western juridical systems, lack of intimacy and love can be a reasonable reason for divorce. As for religion (I'll take Christianity as it is more reliable for me and more widespread in the West), regardless of what some illiterate teachers have said, scriptures talk about marital duty and the importance of intimacy within a married couple and there's even a whole book in the Bible dedicated to marital love (Songs of Solomon). Refusing to please your wife/husband (except for obvious good reasons) would be considered as a sin, which means lack of love is abnormal for a couple. But you're right when saying that marriage is also an agreement. But love should always be a major component. Hard to stick with a horrible person.

[@thembill8246]

Just communicate openly and honestly. Also people need to not constantly combine and co-relate The love between friends, the love between family, romantic love, and sexual attraction. They can certainly exist together, but they should also be treated separately when needed. You can absolutely be sexually attracted to a friend or even romantically attracted to a friend but realize when it's not appropriate to express that or to pursue it, and just be a damn friend. That first one, she may be attracted to him, but she's not his friend. She's not being a good friend. Friends will respect each other, and that includes not trying to drive a wedge through their other relationships. That's just disrespectful and dishonest. If you have a problem with them, communicate honestly and openly and then figure out how to deal with it. Don't do this poorly covert shit

Kudos to the Op in that last story. Married a man she loved, felt weird about something her inlaws were doing, but didn't immediately jump to any terrible conclusions. She didn't force her husband to intervene (though he did step up and confront the issue head on, kudos to him too), and was immediately there for him when everything fell apart. And now, even now, after finding out what her inlaws were doing was FAR worse than she could've imagined, she has her FIL sleeping in her house and is trying to convince her husband to try and fix their families before burning any bridges. She really is his best friend, and she's a keeper too.

[@JoULove]

Anyone can be friends with anyone. There are many levels of friendship. As long as you are respectful to any significant others then there's no reason why a man and a woman couldn't be friends.

No. NO. stop that. The directions on the box aren’t trying to trick you. They want the pasta to be good. Bring water to a ROLLING BOIL. ADD SALT ( do around 1/8 cup or more, as my mother says, your water should be “salty like the sea” ) SET TIMER (if box says 8-10 minutes, set timer for 8) then add pasta and stir immediately. Stir every couple minutes or so. When you drain your pasta, save some of the salty pasta water (about a cup, I just put a glass measuring cup under my colander when I drain it) and use that in the sauce if it’s too thick. There’s no reason to make pasta the wrong way when it’s so easy to do it the right way. Given the carb/calorie cost of eating pasta, you would want it to be amazing. If knowing this, you still insist on doing it wrong, just as some kind of misplaced obstinacy, I think that says a lot about someone. Find a valid fight to fight and stop disrespecting yourself and your noodles. I used to make rice wrong, and then I listened to Chinese people, and now I make it correctly. People don’t come to a consensus over hundreds of years of preparing food just to be annoying or arbitrary. SEMI RELATED FACT: pasta was invented by the Chinese. So was paper! 💚

Second story (partway through listening): I always feel so dismayed when someone obviously wants to break up and is searching desperately for proof of something to justify it. You can break up for any reason or no reason! You don't have to justify your decision. In this case, the real reason she's looking to break up is because he acts oblivious to someone treating her badly and, when she tells him, he makes the choice to remain oblivious instead of believing and supporting her. But she could also break up with him because she doesn't like his face.

[@Hulk_Lover]

Props to the FIL for being on their side, but this is still pretty fucked up. He should have pushed back against the bet in first place (and maybe he did and lost) or spoke up sooner.

Hello Eva Rose! I'm so glad we got some more content with her. Please come back whenever you feel comfortable I love seeing you two together and getting her perspective!

[@Lachronix]

How long hv they dated?

[@wrpro7495]

Daniel and Eva have a great dynamic with these because Daniel always gives them the benefit of the doubt and Eva doesn’t take any bullshit.

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

These videos are my constant companion while doing chores.

33:40 I LOVE THIS!!!! 😄💚🩷🎶

In the last one OP needs to remember her in-laws didn’t just do this to her, they did it to her husband too. If he wants to go no contact with them for their attempts to sabotage his marriage, that’s his right.

[@StormSought]

Yeah, I think she's trying to say that he doesn't have to do that for her, and she's willing to work through it with them, which I think is nice, and even a good thing to offer so he doesn't have regrets later, but I certainly wouldn't push it.

your girlfriend looks like a Renaissance painting! glowing!!

[@DavidtheGiantSlayer]

My wife's family did a bet as well. They just are a holes. My family is the polar opposite of my wife's. They were extremely friendly and loving to her and always want to talk to her.

[@closetcellist]

Daniel is always trying to find the nicest possible reason people are doing shitty things. Noble, but buddy most people arent that deep

[@starrieknight8307]

I interrupted my search and clicked so fast, I LOVE THE SURPRISES!

[@swimchick51]

I love Eva! ❤ She adds so much, but it’s so seamless and natural! They’re so cute! They have such good chemistry!

[@yikes8322]

Feels like half these comments just read the title and watched a little bit of the video just to give their opinion on friendships and that’s weird

[@nachoqt]

Nah, you make the title a question, you get answers.

[@yikes8322]

@@nachoqt so you’re saying people clicked into a video they aren’t watching just to give their internet opinion ? Damn

[@NicoleRamos-t1h]

I love that you match each other’s energy ❤❤

[@dinofrog926]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS YOU SHOULD DO MORE OF THEM TOGETHER PLEASE

[@TheVarianGuy]

As a singer myself, Eva lowkey has a fantastic mezzo-soprano voice.

[@sweetmemoriesms]

Beautiful!

[@owenlambert3498]

I fully expected you to still pull out a surprise microphone after saying “in lieu of a surprise microphone we have a surprise girlfriend.”

[@theafrofluff]

I saw the "Best Friend" Wife Reddit story on Smosh and I was hoping around to see how you react to the update. That shit is unthinkable of how messed up it is

[@bibliobibuli1]

the surprise girlfriend is my favorite suprise thing

[@tomfoolery-4444]

Ohhhh yeah the "best friend" wife's family is being mad disrespectful. This is raising my hair the same way it rises when someone insists on calling a trans person the wrong thing. They want a fight.

[@StormSought]

Yeah I assumed it was homophobia for soooo long

[@KooblyK]

Alton Brown actually did an experiment with putting the pasta in before the water is boiling, and it didn't make a noticeable difference, just decreased the cook time a little. So at least for dry pasta, it's fine. Not that it should have mattered that much regardless within the story

[@chimee1237]

17:47 genuine concern 😂😅

[@DowntownPieceOfTrash]

I never comment but the reddit stuff aside- Y'ALL ARE SO FUNNY AND ADORABLE 😭😭😭 And Eva (If I spelled her name correctly!) sings so gorgeously :((( Please have her on these videos more raaaaaah!! She is so so so fun ♡

[@chloehayes4988]

My partner and I only roll our eyes at each other when genuinely stupidly silly things get said. For example, "No come back I need to eat your hand!"

[@erinclarke2715]

That “oh!” At 10:35 hahah
