When you're sharing your life with someone, there is inevitably something about that person that drives you batty. It makes you want to punch that person in the face. You want to scream about the absurdity of their quirk and scream loudly and consistently right in their dumb face.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??!!"
"HOW MANY TIMES WERE DROPPED ON YOUR FUCKING HEAD??!!"
What you should be yelling is, "WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING CHANGE AND BE EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK I WANT YOU TO BE??!!"
Compromise comes into play and you spend the rest of your time together either mildly resenting the love of your life (I don't recommend this option) or accepting the (what you see as) stupid.
Do not sit there reading that last statement and think that in a relationship, YOU are the only one feeling this way. Sometimes, YOU and your quirk are the dumb face. Sometimes, ME and my socks left (hidden strategically) under the couch or the insane amount of hair that collects on my bathroom floor which I use the hair dryer to blow into a corner rather than make a full compromise and CLEAN IT THE FUCK UP are the dumb face.
Scotty is addicted to Starbucks coffee. Specifically, a grande white mocha americano, stirred, with whipped cream, chocolate and caramel drizzle. I had to modify my existence on this planet, as a non-coffee drinker, to accommodate this addiction. We have had to make two trips to bring groceries into the house so he could carry his coffee. I have been rushed to get ready and snapped at if I wasn't quick enough so we could leave early and get him a coffee. "On your way home, can you pick me up a coffee?" A year into the relationship I knew the routine and I accepted his dumb face.
Now, neither one of has a dumb face about coffee. I make him White Chocolate Mocha Syrup, he makes his coffee at home and our time is not affected by his need for Starbucks.
White Chocolate Mocha Syrup
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of evaporated milk
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla
1 tablespoon of instant espresso
6-10 ounces of white chocolate, cup up in small pieces if using Baker's chocolate
(I use an entire bag of white chocolate chips. Melts nicer and makes a nicer sauce)
Whisk the milks, sugar, and vanilla together on med-high heat. Whisk constantly. Once it starts simmering, add in the chocolate chips. Whisk constantly. After they've melted, add in the instant espresso powder. Whisk constantly. When the espresso powder has mixed nicely into the sauce, remove from heat. Whisk every few minutes to stop the chocolate from clumping. Before it cools completely, pour it into bottles and store in the fridge.
** I don't know how long it lasts in the fridge before it goes bad. He's never stopped using it long enough for it to sit for lengthly time period.
