I imagine there was a pattern and his wife was annoying all the time but this on its own is kinda funny

Didn't realize I wasn't in r/tumblr r/curatedtumblr or r/196 at first and was like "wow, surprised to see someone say 'him'" lol

u/Effective_Badger3715 2d ago

Maybe or maybe not, but saying this just in case - you should still stan lesbian women who use he/him pronouns, cause pronouns aren't the same as gender

This sentence could kill a Victorian child

Mood tbh. I like warm meals, this extends to breads. I do not necessarily want to eat a toast every time.

Warm soft moist steamy bread with a thin light crisp on the outside is good! Thoroughly dried hard brittle croutony bread is a totally different vibe (croutons are also good but serve a much different purpose)

This guy breads. Hey, save some bread for the rest of us! 🗣️🤙🍞

To be fair, you don't call it toast, clearly, whereas it seems OOP is calling their hot bread toast.

u/Hakazumi 1d ago

Can you not make hc about what I say or don't, that's weird. You're wrong, but I'm not letting you into my house to prove it. Stay away.

I do.

Now go away.

I don't know why you're being so hostile, but I'll quote what you said.

"I like warm meals, this extends to breads. I do not necessarily want to eat a toast every time."

If you do not necessarily want to "eat a toast", that must mean that you occasionally eat some bread that is warmed, but is not toast, because you've categorized it as something you want to eat when you do not want to eat toast. My whole point is that the dispute between the OOP and OOP's wife is not entirely ontological in nature: if OOP was amenable to calling their meal "hot bread", the situation could potentially be resolved.

You can argue that this is not necessarily a true reflection of the dispute, the mocking use of "hot bread" may simply be how it manifests, and it is all circumstantial, but I have no more knowledge of OOP's relationship than what I can read from OOP themselves, and my assumption is from that reading.

Ergo, my point was simply that, if you are willing to call it warm bread, as evidenced by you delineating between warm bread and toast in your original comment, then your position may not be something that OOP's wife would disagree with.

I am sorry if I offended you at all, that was not my intention, but I hope this explanation may be sufficient in resolving any miscommunication.

I have a sandwich maker and everything that's coming out of it is a definitely toast. If I pan fry some bread, as I do not have a toaster, that's technically something between warm bread or a toast depending how I made it. But if anyone asked me what I'm having, I'll be saying I made myself some toast with w/e toppings. I'd be pissed if someone tried to call it warm bread too, cuz that'd be something more from a microwave than anything.

English is 2nd language for me and not even my teachers over-analyzed my writings to this degree. Are you autistic? This pedantry is out of place for such an unimportant topic. Tons of people seemed to have understood it, considering the upvotes.

Saw this earlier today when it was only 17 hours old, bonkers nuts getting updates to posts like that lol

u/Johns-Sunflower 3d ago

right? this is such a twist! now, I can sort of see some truth in one calling the other a "nasty ass" in the replies

u/pikinchikin 3d ago

I'm seeing this comment 17 hours after it's been posted. I hope you have some good news in 5 years

u/Alclis 3d ago

I love how the arc here was about the marriage, and not the toasting technique! 🤣

u/maddielovescolours 3d ago

It's nice to eat hot bread in peace

u/Agitated-Cup-2657 3d ago

Finally, hot bread representation! I have always heated my toast very lightly so it doesn't get crispy.

u/coconutdon 2d ago

Toast is too messy! Hot bread FTW!!!!

My mom says I'm just trying to scare the bread

u/Prestigious_Row_8022 3d ago

A little bit of terror makes the carb taste pop

u/PlsWai 3d ago

The only reason I toast bread is to make it easier to spread stuff on it, I don't really like it to be too toasted.

13

u/clear_burneraccount 3d ago

I am a lightly-toasted bread lover. Anything toastier completely destroys the inside of my mouth.

22

u/Nickelnick24 3d ago

God forbid you want to taste the bread and not the burnt charred metal of a shitty toaster.

6

u/rosecoloredgasmask 3d ago

I personally like my toast charred to fuck but sometimes a lightly toasted toast just slaps and I'll admit it.

u/CCCyanide 2d ago

I eat warm bread.

My father eats charcoal.

u/oliveoilcrisis 3d ago

Good for them

u/ImprovementLong7141 2d ago

Controversial, I know, but I hate toast. If I wanted my bread hard and burnt I’d eat charcoal.

u/RigorousMortality 2d ago

Yeah, I'm with his ex-wife on this one. It's not toast unless it's browned a bit. I'm sure she is happier with her new husband while this twat is going back to old tweets about toast.

u/logalog_jack 1d ago

This guy thinks a tumblr post is a tweet lol

Meh, my bad?

u/OshadaK 3d ago

I don’t see the character arc here I’m afraid. They’re still having dog shit hot bread and they still dislike their (ex) wife

u/effersquinn 3d ago

True but you could imagine a big arc level difference between just taking it for years, thinking it's normal or deserved, versus taking the step of divorce.

But also sounds like the comment she would make on this 😂

u/OshadaK 3d ago

The agency is a good point which I hadn’t considered!

u/Redsword1550 3d ago

So..... character arc Russian nesting doll here?

u/Few_Conversation1296 3d ago

Partners playfully mocking each others quirks is normal though.

"Oh noes, she called it Hot Bread, I am devastated at this horrific abuse!"

33

u/Win090949 3d ago

It’s probably hot bread + other stuff

29

u/Reason_Choice 3d ago

Nah. It was only the hot bread.

7

u/bad_at_alot 3d ago

It's probably more than just daily demeaning about hot bread... there was probably 16 other things that the ex mentioned daily that bothered them

5

u/effersquinn 3d ago

You could do that in a playful way with someone you trust and who knows you're being playful. Or you could do it in a demeaning way where you're criticizing all of their choices, even little ones like this, where you're not sounding playful at all- just annoyed and negative.

I'm sure you could imagine either situation, and then guess based on the context of the follow up which was more the vibe in his mind? She could have even been playing here but in a dysfunctional relationship with too much negativity and criticism, you don't have enough trust for playful teasing to not feel like yet another conflict, or a seemingly light-hearted cover for more ways to put someone down.

u/Few_Conversation1296 3d ago

Well, I doubt they are divorcing because of how swimmingly it's going, so I had already assumed that there is more to it myself.

I'm also not really interested in brainstorming scenarios where divorce is a reasonable response to someone calling my toast hot bread. You also shouldn't bother, such a scenario doesn't exist, that would be crazy.

u/Head_Tumbleweed4793 3d ago

You probably have shitty bread but hot and soft bread tastes good
