My good friend is really cool. He’s basically a super nerd scientist guy. Despite having a ton of knowledge, he’s humble af, I’ve known him for years before I knew how high his educational qualifications go.
My friend just married someone with a nice job and a bougie family. I’m happy for my friend, I couldn’t give a fuck if all her convos revolve around past holidays, resorts, and pricey drinks. My friend is happy and and he feels secure with this woman, and I’m glad that things are going well for him.
My friend and his wife keep trying to organise double dates. I guess it feels natural, to bring us into the wider family. But what happens is that the men and women separate and have their own conversations. My gf finds this woman boring af, bragging about all the countries she’s traveled and nice places she’s been isn’t really interesting. I wonder if posh people are so used to talking to service workers and underlings who are required by their job to please them, that they have no idea how fucking boring they are.
My girlfriend’s brother has this tendency to say insanely racist things, probably without recognising them as such at all. One example would be him telling my girlfriend that he wouldn’t want an Afghan in the family either, relating to a coworker of his having found himself with an Afghan son in law, much to that coworker’s displeasure. The fact that Afghan isn’t exactly and ethnicity and that I am of one of the more prominent ethnicities of Afghanistan probably eluded him.
