Yes to fewer commas in general. Not so much taking issue with Oxford vs standard comma though. Outside of a list, ask yourself if the comma can be replaced with a period and new sentence. If it can, do it. If it can't, just remove the comma.

See like that whole paragraph ^^^^ works fine but if I go back and take out all the commas it still works fine. Yes, I am saying, "Do what I say and not what I do." But I'm an arrogant, arrogant man.

I've posted here over and over that what she says just isn't true. I used to think she lied on purpose. I've gradually changed to the opinion that this is really what she believed happened. What causes someone to interpret actual events in a warped way over and over?

Everyone has its own reality. Sometimes they overlap and then you get common reality. You and M ..... you don't have big overlapping area.

Besides maybe code deserves it for all the smoking ultimatums. Apparently it's all over now anyway cuz she didn't quit for him but in her own time frame. God it's all so ****ed up. I'll go back to being focused on protein and bicep curls.

I just realized it's really weird when a chick describes self as "neckbearding".

Don't confuse reality with its perceptions and interpretations. There's only one reality, but various perceptions of it are possible.

I thought he was texting and he wasn't, ok I was wrong. But, he did stop talking to me because she texted him about the game and he all of a sudden had to listen to it.

M,

He probably just deleted all the texts or edited the screenshot.

Did he have money on the game?

MLY,

Are you generally unaware of your surroundings?

That he was paying attention to something that she felt that he'd used to exclude her in the past instead of paying attention to her is obviously the issue. That and her assumption that the drive up and back was special alone time for chattin' was almost certainly not explicitly expressed.

Whether or not that's reasonable is obviously a different matter entirely.

In M's shoes, I would have listened to the game broadcast together with Code to take part in his leisure activity, even one atypical of him, because it wasn't an ordinary game, it was in the NBA Finals that happen once a year. And I'm not even a basketball fan.

Ha! That reminds me! I'm skipping the gym today for waxing, a mani and a pedi!

Honestly, I never would respond as nicely as "LOL" at that point. Probably woulda gone with "I want to stab you to death then play around with your blood."

Which reminds me of something.

Seriously, though, why is it so hard for you to understand:

Code doesn't really enjoy talking to you.
Code doesn't really care about your feelings.
Code will always prioritize his sister and family above you.

If you like Code enough for all the other things he does, good for you.

But that doesn't seem to be the case. What you want is for code to be someone other than who he is. And no matter how many times you repeat the cycle, that isn't going to happen.
