Last month, my fiancé left me for his ex and canceled our wedding. And I am fine. Now that everything has settled down, I find myself relieved. We were together three years, never fought, and were good on paper together. I used to describe us as OK when the real word was lukewarm. I feel like a fraud for not feeling bad. We lost some deposits, but my ex has lost our entire circle of friends. His family has apologized to me and bad-mouthed his new girl to me. My ex even paid off my car for me as a ‘sorry for leaving you at the altar!’ gesture. 1 good on paperとはどのような意味でしょうか？ 2 when the real word was lukewarm.とはどういうことでしょうか？ 3 paid off my carは「車のローンを返済した」でしょうか？ 以上、よろしくお願いします

1. 「書面上は」「理屈の上では」ですが、ここでの訳は「表面的には」が一番あってるかな。 2. lukewarmは、中途半端、生煮えみたいな表現ですが、ここでは「そんなに真剣ではない」みたいな感じでしょう。日本語で中途半端、どっちつかずとか言いたいことが多いですがlukewarmやhalf-baked はその点便利な言葉なので覚えておくと良いと思います。下記も意訳。 「本当はそんなに真剣ではないと言うべきところ、私達のことを”大丈夫”と言っていました」 ちなみに、アメリカ英語の表現で何かが良いか悪いか聞かれたときに"OK"と言ったらそれだけで「まあまあ」「なんとか大丈夫」くらいの悪い印象のことが多いです。 3. 車のローンを彼女に替わって返済してくれたのかも知れないけれど、この場合は「私の車の支払いをする」で、彼女が一切お金を払わなくて良いと言うことだけしかわかりません。

＃１です。補足です。 ＞＞この文脈で「記録を読む限り悪いところはない」とはどういうことでしょうか？ 例えば、夫婦喧嘩の大声に我慢できなくなった近所隣の人が、警察に通報し、警察の「記録に残る」ようなことはなかった、ということでしょう。

１。good on paperとはどのような意味でしょうか？ 紙の上ではいい ＞ 記録を読む限り悪いところはない ２。when the real word was lukewarm.とはどういうことでしょうか？ （私たちの関係は「OK（＝良い）」という言葉で私は述べたけれど）生ぬるいという方が本当の言葉だった ３。paid off my carは「車のローンを返済した」でしょうか？ おっしゃる通りです。

My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We've had our share of ups and downs, but always managed to work our way through them. Last year, he decided he no longer wanted to be married, saying the last 20 years were not all that pleasant and we have never really gotten along. (As far as I know, there isn't another woman.) My problem is, for the most part, he still acts like he wants to be married. He has made no attempt to leave, tells me his comings and goings, asks me to have dinner together, etc. tells me his comings and goingsはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

Two weeks ago I attended a holiday party with my boyfriend and his family. We’ve been together for three years, and since we moved to his hometown, I’ve gotten to know his parents and sisters better. I forgot about new medication I was taking, had a few drinks, and became drunker than I have ever been in my life. (Counting this event, I’ve only been drunk three times, so it’s extremely out of character for me.) I now know that I did something so horrible at the party that my boyfriend broke up with me via text and told me he has no interest in speaking to me ever again. I’m devastated. My now ex-boyfriend is the sweetest man I know, so I had to have done something cruel for him to do this. I had to have done something cruel for him to do thisの訳を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

“Eric” and I were together for five years and had a horrible breakup a year ago. While we were together I grew very close to his daughter “Amy,” and she to me. Amy’s mom has not been in the picture for many years. Amy took our breakup badly, and pretty much took my side in everything. We’ve kept in touch and often done things together since Eric and I split. We basically don’t discuss him. I last spoke to Amy early in September. Since then she hasn’t called or texted. I’ve tried to contact her several times, telling her I miss her and asking about getting together. I’ve tried toはなぜ過去形ではなく現在完了形なのでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

My husband and I have been together for a decade but for various monetary reasons are not legally wed. I have stayed out of his relationship with his daughter “Jessica.” I don’t think highly of her—she has been given every advantage in life and squandered it. She got pregnant in college and failed out (we paid for that), and managed to wreck her car (that her mother gave her). I thought she had finally grown up after she met and married “Kyle.” He works full-time and even adopted her son, but doesn’t make a lot of money. My husband sold his house and moved in with me four years ago. Our retirement plans were for both of us to keep working until now, then sell my house and buy a condo down South. A year ago in a moment of complete stupidity, I agreed to let Kyle, Jessica, and her son move into our house to save money so Jessica could go to school to become a stylist. I even switched my work schedule around so I could help with child care. 1 squandered itは「無駄にしてしまった」でしょうか？ 2 fail outはdrop outと同意でしょうか？ 3 switched my work schedule aroundの意味を教えてください。 以上、よろしくお願いします

- shove it in his face
I just got a rather large promotion at work that I’ve been working toward for a long time. At first my fiancé gave me a half-hearted congrats and insisted he was happy for me. But over the course of a few days, he became depressed, angry, and starting taking jabs at me for no reason. I finally asked what the issue was and he admitted that he was jealous of my promotion. He has a great job, and while I will make fairly more money than he does, I always have made more money. His job has predictable hours and much better benefits. When he was promoted a while back I was genuinely happy for him—I saw it as our success, not just his. He sees this as a competition that he has lost. It hurts a lot because I want him to be happy for me. I don’t gloat or shove it in his face, shove it in his faceはどのような意味でしょうか？よろしくお願いします
