I can’t remember what book it was, but in high school while reading something, my english teacher pointed out a character adding salt to his wife’s stew without tasting it first as a sign of their failing/unhappy marriage and while I brushed it off at the time as a curtains being blue moment, it stuck with me, and now everytime I come across a character adding salt to their partner’s cooking I zero in on it like some kind of armchair psychologist.

#i got mad watching the music video for labour by paris paloma bc her husband salts his food as soon as he sits down #and having already listened to the song i thought fucking typical piece of shit #i think it also happens in mr and mrs smith before they find out about eachother #john salts his food while they're obviously unhappy #and later tells her she's a horrible cook #i also remember an episode of everybody loves raymond where frank asks for the salt at dinner #and marie blows up at him and its a whole thing #anyway i brushed it off in school because my teacher loved symbolism and i was tired and just wanted to pass the subject #but damn she made some points #personal
