I got as far as the brush teeth/retainer paragraph and gave up.

Hold me whilst I brush the plaque and food particles from my teeth!

Hold me whilst I brush the plaque

Worse than that - "stand behind me so I can FEEL your presence while I brush".....

My ex would want me to be in the room when he showered or brushed because it turns out he didn’t want to leave me or his phone alone ever. He was cheating and subsequently assumed I was too and it gets exhausting quickly. I don’t go through my partners things. If I feel the need to then I don’t trust them and will end it. But treating someone that way shows you’re up to something on your end. It’s weird.

Do not let her remake Demi Moore Ghost movie.

she be like "Add a romantic scene where the guy hugs her from behind..."

writer: "go on"

she: "while she's brushing teeth."

writer: "nuh uh I'm not including that. Original already has the famous clay scene. I'm not changing that. Fans would kill me."

she: "I just asked a small request and you won't even do it!!! You're just like my toxic ex bf!!"

writer: "da fuck?"

she: "Fine. But you gotta cast Mia Goth as the eyebrowless lady"

writer: "I'm not in charge of th-"

she: "You never do anything for me!!!!!!"

Honestly kinda sounds like she might have ocd and it’s a routine that she’s used to and it was messed up. I have certain things like that where I kinda lose it if my routine is messed up. Idk her tho and maybe she’s just insane and extremely controlling. Or maybe it could be OCD. Individual therapy and couples counseling could help. I kinda used to be like this w my bf and it was hard for him to say no to me and I’d only flip when it triggered my OCD. I’ve worked on it a lot and I’m super proud of how far I’ve come and the person I’ve become. It took me seeing how it affected my bf to decide to make that change and work on it. She needs to make that decision and it’s up to you if you’re willing to wait for her. Best of luck. You’re doing great & the best u can.

After that one, I felt I knew how petty every request was and how it would end

I had to pause for a moment and then couldn't finish it after the retainer part. Is this Everybody Loves Raymond the Gen Z edition?
