Someone in my street keeps harassing me and my family, and I lost my temper 2 days ago and whacked a bunch of things off a shelf. One of the heavier things ended up falling on my soup bowl and smashed a third of it. That specific soup bowl has been discontinued for many years. The manufacturer did make very similar soup bowls just with a different pattern on them, but they’re old and only being sold on places like Ebay. I’m going to take the bowl out of the trash tomorrow and measure it in detail and maybe post it on Facebook to see if anyone has this bowl. I feel like a whole bunch of nice memories have been literally smashed, like that bowl was with me for all that time and I smashed it by accident. That bowl was like a friend and reminded me of a time in my life where I was happy so just ordering some generic soup bowl that isn’t extremely similar or the same is going to remind me of what I’ve lost.
I like how everyone’s glossing over the last part where the boyfriend is 60% of her age.
We were both 19 when he died in an accident. So this bowl reminds me of happier times before things went South and this bowl has been through a lot of stuff with me since then too. It’s a relic of my teenage years which were the best years of my life. My adult years have yet to be better.
If I were you I’d see if anyone can fix it, even if that meant the bowl would be decoration only after.
I think you misread
Did you read a different post? Where is the boyfriend’s age mentioned?
Yeah, it looks like they misread what the “17” and “30” in the OP title were referring to.
The title is badly written, I think op was saying the boyfriend is no longer alive.
(her boyfriend is no longer alive)
Yeah I figured it out, it’s written strangely.
Sorry for the way I worded the title. I’d taken an Ambien shortly before I made this post.
You’ve done nothing wrong, it was on me to understand. I just didn’t the first time. 🤷
Very odd to casually mention she murdered her boyfriend of 14 years in the title and then make the post about breaking a bowl.
Upset is an understatement.
