Had an okay day until after getting home I learned I was still in fight with my girlfriend from before going out to Trivia night together Wednesday evening over a Star Trek Voyager episode we watched together a long while back 😵💫 and then another one this evening over me using the word sure instead of yes or no 😵 to answer a question she asked
That's a tough spot to be in! Hopefully your relationship gets less tetchy soon!
What is the problem with "sure"?
The only thing I can think of is that sure sounds less convinced than yes. Sure might mean something more like “ok whatever”. Or at least that’s what I gather from fights with previous partners.
My girlfriend explained it to me as well (I'm not a native speaker), that should be it
“Sure” and “fine” both ask for trouble….
What part of the episode was the fight about?
There was an episode where Tom developed feelings for Kes but didn't want to act on them. Apparently people should be judge in their thoughts and feelings rather than decisions and actions 🤷♂️
I have to go into work early today to cover for someone as well as do my afternoon shift and day 3 of this is going I guess..
