he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

(Jimmy portrayed as Eurasier, a breed that requires lots of love and affection and gets easily depressed when holed up in one space, and is a relative of a dog bred specifically to give people warmth. Martyn is a Jack Russell Terrier, a breed that is often stubborn, mischievous and difficult to train)

I鈥檓 the happiest I鈥檝e ever been in my life and. I just feel like crying over that fact. a few years ago I was sure I鈥檇 be an anxious miserable wreck for my entire life but now I wake up and I love the world and I promise one day you will too. please keep going please hold the world tight. you will giggle at something silly with a stranger. a staff member at a place you frequent will smile when they see you. an elderly person will look at you gratefully for helping them. you鈥檒l cry about stupid stuff and laugh about it later. you鈥檒l drink cold water during a hot day and it will be the best sensation ever. being alive is the best thing I鈥檝e ever experienced.

super helpful tips for non-english fic writers writing a marauder fic (set in england):
the characters can never say 'mate' too much. (especially if they're working class). there is no limit to the word 'mate'.
slag is a much more common word to use than slut or whore
you could drive an hour away and no longer understand anyone's accent. there is a lot of english accents
non-londoners think londoners think they're better than everyone else
the north/south divide is still existent but was much more so in the 70s. northerners saw southerners as posh wankers and southerners saw northerners as poor and dumber. the midlands gets ignored.
everywhere is hilly. you think there can't possibly be a hill? there is. flat ground is nonexistent.
sometimes it doesn't rain. we go to the beach and talk about how great the weather is (even if it's still cold. at least it isn't tipping it down)
wetherspoons (affectionately known as 'spoons') is not just a pub/restaurant. its a lifestyle. it's home. it's also sticky, always filled with middle aged men drinking pints, and you have to walk a mile and go through a maze to find the toilets.
we're strangely obsessed with lidl bakery and greggs.
in terms of the middle class and upper class marauder characters- idrk, but my old friend was rich and she had a bear skinned rug and ate a lot of quiches, so do with that what you will
