Search Results: christmas dinner

For the longest time, he seemed hesitant to talk to me (originally just thought it was because his now ex-wife is the extremely jealous type and she was constantly cheating on him). We had invited him over for Christmas as he is not close with his family and we were having an "orphan Christmas" for all of our fellow military families/friends. When he arrived, he mentioned how surprised he was that I did not have Die Hard on as he knows that it is my favorite Christmas movie. I have never told him this. I usually just sit around absorbing information and try to learn while he and my husband discuss cars. I mentioned that it was odd to my husband and he brought up the possibility of Friend having a crush on me since I'm so hot. I said how hubs has to say things like that since we're married and that I doubted that this was the case since we're happily married and usually more of a "bro" to my male friends. He countered with how he was attracted to me previously when I was in a relationship and he was just my single friend. I kind of played it off and we went back to business as usual.

As the months have gone on we've been spending a lot more time with Friend, practically going on dates with him to dinner and improv shows/movies. At first, it was always the two of them hanging out or the three of us, my husband has been encouraging him and me to spend more quality time with the two of us. We've also given him a key to our home so he can come crash as his living situation isn't ideal. He made comments originally about not wanting to be a "sancho" and was hesitant to reach out to me. I really need friends here so I did my best to open/available to hang out without being pushy/desperate for friends. The first time we hung out the two of us he did his best to stay away from me despite asking me to come see a movie with him. We then went back to my house and he said he was going to leave early but stuck around to talk to me while maintaining distance. I will post an update

I've compiled a list of things about someone I've known since I was 16-we only started dating 8 months ago, I need an opinion from all of you about whether these are red flags and if I should stay or run or talk it out?
Thank you

1) He works as a lawyer but I've noticed that he would put the medical profession down- I work as a paediatric nurse and I am in medical school. I noticed he would say things like "the medical profession are crap, useless and lazy" and even though I tell him off and he apologises, he still makes some negative comments...
2) He says he has high standards and wants a girl who can take care of herself "because it saves him from having to do all the rest" Although I look after myself, I notice that whenever I get stressed from university and I need him the most, he withdraws, but when he is having a bad day, I'm always there for him.
3) We met up at a cafe 3 days after Christmas and he appeared angry at me for no reason (to this day I have no idea what I did). I asked him what was wrong, but he dismissed my question and I thought he might have been stressed from work. From the look on his eyes and his face and eyes, I've never felt so scared. It's hard to explain, but I started to have that awful uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. And of course when he saw how scared I was, he accused me of looking confused and then told me it's probably why I "don't have my life together."
4) He asked me one time "so after med school, what are you going to be? A GP or surgeon?" I told him I wanted to be a GP, and he replied "Oh, is that it?"
5) On Christmas day, when my parents invited him over to our house for dinner, he asked me "aren't you going to lose some weight?" My boyfriend is a triathlete whereas I am a marathon runner and swimmer and so I started to feel anxious and insecure about my body.
6) He didn't grow up from money, but ever since he got a job as a senior lawyer in a corporate law firm, he has been showing off.

I won’t go into the details of the roast as many here don’t know the joy of a Yorkshire pudding...

a “Sunday dinner” in England is a roast meal. It’s often a weekly thing especially in the winter.

I know around the world roasts are done (thanksgiving, Christmas, etc) but is it a regular thing?
