strangers, her coworker, even my aunt once. "you're so patient with her." like i'm a project she adopted.

she hates it too. still lands weird every time.

how do you shut that down without making dinner awkward.

    "we're partners, not a charity case" said flatly works. silence after is important.

    my partner started answering for herself: "she's not something i put up with." people get quiet fast.

    also fine to leave the conversation. you don't owe education to every aunt.
