I remember reading¹ a story of a woman who “helped” her (CHEF!) boyfriend by just putting all the rice he had in so many scattered small containers into a single large one.
She thought all rice was the same. She found out the very hard way that it isn’t. I gathered from the reading that she and he were not together any longer after that.
(Note: it may sound harsh that he dumped her over this, but she’d asked about it DOZENS of times and was told each time to leave the rice alone. The fact she did it anyway indicates a serious deficiency in her ability to let well enough alone that spells a dire future for any relationship.)
¹ For the youngsters in the audience, reading is what we old-timey types did to get information back before everything was an effin’ Youtube, Instagram, or Tiktok video.

That is 100% a legit reason to leave a partner. I, for one, can’t stand stupid people. Can’t imagine having that as a partner.
