Let me guess: When you want to be forgiven, you tighten all the jar lids in the house so she has to talk to you?

Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Pro tip: There are tools specifically made for opening jars so even if they do that, just get one of these tools and you'll never have to ask someone else to open a jar for you again. There are also ones that work with different sized Jars and even twist off bottle caps as well.
Here are some pictures of them by the way (in case anyone is in doubt of their existence):
A standard traditional one (this is what I have)
This one is marketed as "arthritis friendly"
This one is an alternative one similar to the first but with a different method of selecting size.
this is huge for me
If these aren't affordable or accessible near you, a good substitute is nonslip shelf liner (example)
Just cut off a square big enough to comfortably drape over the lid plus the sides and it will make it much easier to open them. It requires slightly more physical ability than the jar opening tools since you need to be able to grip rather than just squeeze, but if you don't have significant hand mobility issues it should work fine.
The top one which is what I have is 8.99 (at the time of writing) from walmart but I've also seen similar ones on Amazon, they're not expensive or hard to get. That is a good tip though if you don't have one.
Yeah but if i ever get a trans masc bf i can make him happy by asking him to help me open those jars
Yeah but a trans masc dude, he would have said a she shed ideally down by the sea shore.
I'd still recommend having one just in case, even if you or your boyfriend are strong enough to open them without the tool there's always that one jar occasionally that just won't budge. For those a jar opener comes in real handy.
