When I was 17, I brought my first boyfriend to my grandma's house because I was absolutely convinced she was going to think we were the cutest couple alive.
The second he left, I asked her,
"So??? what do you think of him???"
My grandma looked me dead in the face and said,

The most exhausting, unspoken burden on men in modern dating is that they are expected to be the sole architects of the relationship. A man is expected to initiate the first text, plan the dates, fund the experiences, orchestrate the proposal, and constantly drive the romance forward. We have completely normalized a culture where a woman’s mere presence is considered her "effort." The absolute second a man gets tired of being the only engine keeping the relationship moving and asks for equal romantic effort, he is instantly accused of being "inconsistent" or "low effort." We demand 50/50 modern equality, but aggressively enforce traditional male burdens the exact moment romance is involved.
For 12 years, I was married to a conventionally “nice guy.”
He never hit me. Never cheated (or at least I didn’t know and we never had infidelity issues), he never even argued much.
He was calm. Quiet. Agreeable.
In the beginning I thought that meant I was safe, and I felt lucky to have him.
Because other women had worse right?
But this is exactly why the marriage eventually failed…
His “good guy” image meant he never led.
He never decided.
He never carried weight.
So I did. I had to step in and keep the boat rowing and afloat.
Financially. Emotionally. Strategically.
And eventually I was left tired, exhausted and resentful.
Because “nice” without initiative is passivity.
And passivity turns a wife into infrastructure.
I wasn’t married to a monster.
I was married to a passenger.
And I had to step off that car that was leading me to oblivion.
@Dreyfusar@wapo Njgga no lol. The guys that played for US & Canada was legitimately the best players on Earth.
There wasnt a black hockey player on that level this year
@Dreyfusar@wapo ....... bro the article is about soccer.... in a different country.
The NHL has at this time like at MOST 20 black players and about half of them are 1st line players
@Dreyfusar@wapo Bro what??? Its not racism if a black hockey player isnt on of the top 25 player in America or Canada.
We had PK Subban for a little bit but nobody black right now is doing it on that level. Its not racism just talent right now
i love Cam Skattebo shaking his head out on every play when he sprints head first through someone, bc if you react like you have a concussion every time then they'll never realize when you actually have a concussion

The Knicks are really going to the Eastern Conference Finals. I don’t even think this is a recession indicator. It’s an indicator of the end of the world.
