So…this last month I finally decided to get online and do a little "shopping around". It wasn’t the first time I had looked, in fact had been considering it ever since my marriage ended; I just couldn’t seem to make myself get serious about it. I’ve surprisingly realized that I’m quite happy on my own…but there were just some aspects I was still missing - one in particular.
Admittedly, his description acknowledged that he had some imperfections…didn’t say a lot about them, pretty vague actually. But given the stated conditions, I wasn’t expected to make any kind of commitment on the front end. He was more than happy to let me take it slow the first few months to see how I felt about him.
When I finally met him in person, he was perfect! Those acknowledged imperfections were so small, had been way overstated. I think it was mostly based on how someone in his prior relationship had described him…maybe someone that didn’t really understand his worth. Nonetheless, he’s strong and handsome…and as a plus, he’s a beast in my kitchen (in a good way). It took me a little while to work through some of the initial challenges, figure out some of his minutia, but as I do, the relationship just continues to get better and better. I love him more and more with each passing day. And my friends and family think he is awesome too! He’s already most definitely a keeper!
And that one particular thing that I had been missing? OMG…he makes the BEST cup of java I have ever had. It’s ecstasy every morning…and sometimes even again later in the day. I held on for years with the EX because he was always so good about making me coffee each morning. If only I had known how much better was out there!
He originates from Breville and identifies as a BES870XL and I found him in the warehouse deals section on a well known online site. The only problem I have now is - and why I am posting - I just need a pet name for him.
Any suggestions?

Funny thing, I quit being broken when I quit letting people break me.

How about Mr. Warehouse? Or Mr. Good Deal? There's also Mr. Coffee
Just HOW stupid do you think I am, exactly?

Part of dating is all about finding out each others flaws so you can decide if they are dealbreakers for you. We all have them.
I am glad you are enjoying your new brew!

EK - I’m just thankful that so far the flaws only seem to be surface level!
All - Thanks for playing with me here!!

"He originates from Breville and identifies as a BES870XL and I found him in the warehouse deals section"
Funny thing. My housemate and I (both formerly BS es) are looking for that one thing too :)
I think you may have helped me narrow down my target 🎯 machine. I had been toying around with a more exotic Italian or possibly the classic (but perhaps more flawed) Kitchen Aid or the more mid century modern but pricey model.
You made my day

A "perfect marriage" is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.
