I'm pretty sure humanity peaked with that
"Welcome back to Me Screaming."
"AAauaAugGhhh!!!"
-vine, and it's just been all downhill since.
How much is Twitter worth?
So not to simp for a company with an absolutely terrible track record on security, as well as just ethics,
and is worth 31 BILLION DOLLARS?!?!!
But I feel like I can't say anything too terrible about because of the incredibly positive impact they've had on my life, including meeting my girlfriend on.
But surprisingly, Twitter does have your back on this one.
31 billion dollars!
31 BILLION DOLLARS!!
Holy...
Because I'm pretty sure you can mute somebody on Twitter that you can't follow
which is AMAZING!!
"Out of my area of expertise" is already implied!
The fact that you explicitly said it for this question too means this is gonna be a WHOPPER!
I hope this wasn't too much of a question!
...it was a LOT of a question!
I mean... it... it...
Can you guys get couples therapy? Because this is like, way beyond the scope of what I can handle, you were right!
*Whew* First of all, I am glad that you are like, aware and can articulate the problem so well.
You have separated the issues from the person.
You didn't say, “My husband is so annoying! He never wants to go anywhere!" Or anything like that.
You very clearly understand what the actual problem is, and are able to articulate that and understand that very well.
And separate that from the person that your person is, who you love so much.
So that's dope.
Genuinely the best thing I can think of, and I know it's not like a Funny Haha YouTube Moment,
But like, if you can, because of The Big C, over the phone or something,
Seek out a form of couples therapy, I think that would be very good.
Because you are already on the right track, and you just need somebody to help guide you who has the experience and the ability to point out where the right track is.
But I have hope!
You know, don't think this is going to be like, some terrible thing that's going to inevitably lead to your guy's divorce or anything.
I genuinely think there is light at the end of the tunnel, you can make this work.
Oh gosh this is a long question.
Buckle up.
So funny you should ask that because the way that it dropped, it happened, was a little bit unusual.
You know, Susan and I were friends for a while before we started dating right?
And she had said something funny, and I responded with, as I would with any of my friends,
"HAHA oh my gosh, I love you."
And then promptly went to bed.
And woke to a ~bunch of messages~.
Like "WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU SAY?!? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!!?!"
And this- I was faced with a choice of how to respond.
But you have to know, your boy here was TERRIFIED.
So I responded with "Oh yes of course I love you, you’re hilarious! I love you so much as a friend.”
And put off the start of our relationship by months.
So I'm kinda- that was how this boy started it!
So maybe I'm the wrong person to ask how to seriously approach the situation...
So I mean, I guess my lived advice would be just to make it a causal thing,
but obviously I'm really not the right person to answer this question.
Which, that's kind of an evergreen statement about any of these questions.
But I guess on a more serious note, the right time to say "I love you"
Is when you can look at the relationship, and see that you are really enjoying this person,
and you can't see it ever stopping, and you want to spend the rest of your life with this person.
And you genuinely do love them, and you get that same vibe from them.
*phbhtbht*
WHOA
Oh goody goody gumdrops!
Only the message didn't say "crap", but I want this video to be completely monetized!
I mean I definitely think it's possible for you to realize that a romantic relationship may not be right, but a platonic one totally is!
Lemme prepare for this!
Lemme just...
Okay- AUGH!
I am ready for Bonus Tea!
Now that I've spilled tea all over the floor...
That's not a joke. I spilled tea all over the floor.
Ruh-roh!
You were right, this is some tea!
I'm going to be honest with you, it’s totally possible that was just like, a mistake in the same way that when you were a kid, you sometimes called your teacher "mom".
And with this kind of thing I think that you probably should tell your boyfriend, just because like, you’ve said you know, you have been so honest
and you're always going to have that little nagging in the back of your mind like
"Oh, this thing involving my ex, I'm keeping a secret from" and I think that's just going to be worse for you than if you just tell him.
But tell him in a way that makes it sound kind of funny
Just because he like immediately recognized and tried to backtrack what he did.
And nothing more came out of it which is good. So
it is kind of a humorous story, so maybe you could tell it in that light-hearted tone.
Don't make it a huge, serious thing, because in my opinion, this really isn't that big of a deal.
Or I could be totally wrong and could be reading the situation totally wrong and your ex secretly desires you still.
But I'm glad that you recognized that you need more space, and the fact that you're taking actions to do that, is good.
So I think you're okay.
What is this?
Okay pause. A bit of context:
Every Monday night at 7:00pm Pacific time, I do a livestream over on the other channel "Chris Howard Live".
I put a link in the description.
Look okay, I like the light mode!
I use light mode Twitter! I use light mode YouTube! It's just easier on my eyes!
And recently we played a game of Mad Libs togther.
I don't know how the song goes, why did I do this?!
Why did I do this?!
And I have the feeling... uh...
I do wish I could be part of that bread.
I'm starting to really think about what kind of effect, what ripple effect I'm having on the way that the world is working right now.
So I guess I should wrap this up before I follow that thought to it's conclusion!
If you have questions, or need life advice, email me at
and I will get back to you... in like three months.
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to continue to drink the rest of this hot tea while simultaneously keeping my windows shut and encasing myself in this cave of darkness
with the AC cranked all the way up because LA is currently experiencing a heat wave.
But it's just so good! Mint tea is the superior tea.
And on that bit of controversy, stay positive!
