In the end – you realize what they were after was not a conversation with an equilibrium of give and take, it was servility − and you were kept for as long as you gave it.
This woman started complaining that her husband was cheating on her, she called the husband's siblings and complained to them.
The man didn't stop, he continued with his cheating..
So she called her mom to come talk to her husband. The mother came and called both of them for meeting.
She asked the man why he changed and started cheating?
The man replied " ask your daughter when last we had sex, she refused making love"
The mother asked her why??
The wife said because she was angry with him for not buying a birthday present for her..
The mother asked "since when.."?
She said " mummy it's just 8months"
The mother stood up, told the man to continue cheating and left the house the next day...
( this happened to one of my cousin and they have both separated now)
“We are not our mothers” generation of women wants us to act timid & passive like their fathers. Whoever is writing the script is obviously giving men more Ls than they can handle without going insane. The expectations, laws, reality & economy were different for boomers - not us.
This discussion is so old & repetitive because it comes from the assumption these people wed without talking stages or dating & the misogyny just comes out of nowhere after vows are made in a church or AG's.
Can we talk about how mood swings don't affect how empowered women speak to their colleagues or bosses at work but at home they can be mean, cold & evil because the expectation is someone who loves you will tolerate your nonsense?
Please, thanks.
“In whatever you do, marry a kind partner.”
Things women say to remind you that they are very aware they exist on charity; that they do not meet many relational requirements and, hence, that relationships with them is an act of charity towards them.
So they want a kind partner because only in kindness, benevolence, and leniency are relationships with women ever possible.
“Marry a kind partner.”
Hidden inside that statement is an unconscious admission: relationships with women survive more on male tolerance than female merit.
Women understand - perhaps more than men do - that relationships with them require patience, leniency, emotional accommodation, forgiveness, restraint, and continuous interpretation of emotion.
That is why “kindness” becomes the supreme male virtue in female language.
Because without male benevolence, many relationships would collapse under the weight of female excess, emotional inconsistency, impulsiveness, and relational contradiction.
A logical man notices too much. A strict man demands proportion.
But a kind man absorbs dysfunctions women carry. And women know this.
So when many women say, “Marry a kind partner,” what they are often indirectly saying is:
“Find a man generous enough to continuously overlook what would ordinarily disqualify me.”
Do not underestimate the social effect of naming things to pathologize general male living conditions. This is how they create issues out of imagined oppression and build heavily funded movements and laws for social control.
Man has discomfort sitting with legs together for obvious groin reasons - manspreading.
Man has a natural (and quite honestly innocently helpful) enthusiasm in explaining things he really likes to a person he likes or would love to impress - mansplaining.
Man has a different perspective on life that sounds or feels even mildly inconvenient for women - misogyny.
Man expects care and basic decency (reciprocal) from girlfriend/wife - mankeeping.
Man gets served food in his own house - unpaid domestic labour.
Naming is a very subtle preamble to the subjugation of modern man. It starts with creating a narrative that everyone can say, "aaahh, I've also faced this." And it's always generalised things like, "every woman understands the pressure that comes with caring for a partner they love"
Bloody genius, who doesn't??
Then they either legislate, or enforce socially, any traits associated with said named problem.
You walk into an office for an interview and sit in a groin-breathability posture, they decide instantly you're going to be a problem.
You're asked a question about a niche interest on a date and explain with the enthusiasm of a 4 year old, your eyes lighting up. She texts the group chat that you're a mansplainer.
And any of these named issues come heavily coded as "abuse-adjacent". Anything they can name about your life, they can draw a direct link to you as a potential societal threat, and try to take it from you, legally or sub-legally.
Even when you finally give up on a world that won't stop spitting in your face and decide to focus on your niche hobbies and interests, totally unplugged from the drama, they will still label you "an incel", a potential "threat to the society" (women's feelings) that needs government intervention.
This pressure cooker you're putting military aged men into will not end well. For anyone.
I’m too woke to pay for coochie where the giver is doing it to survive cos then it feels like taking advantage of someone’s problems to fulfill lust. I enjoy it more - physically & mentally when it’s a consensual leisure activity by both participants. The joy is in fair exchange.
Most men are exhausted from being in transactional relationships, where every interaction feels like a financial obligation, and they’re constantly billed for affection that isn’t real.
They’re tired of being disrespected by women who show no genuine care or emotional investment
I was waking up daily by 3am, to head to the hospital for my mum, leaving Gbagada general hospital to Magodo by 11pm sometimes 12am every single day for months..
The moment I get to the hospital, I text this man “Goodmorning, if he’s awake, he calls immediately, regardless of how tired I am, I text him on my way home, or sometimes we stay on the call while I drive home…
In a week, I only had 1 day to myself, I was building a business same period I was going through the stresss…
But you know what I did with my one day off, I visited this man, even if most times my visit ended with me sleeping immediately I arrive because of exhaustion..
Don’t get me started on traffic, rinse and repeat, constant leg pains from driving and spending hours in traffic 🥹
The point, these things don’t take even a minute to Text/ call/ or even communicate with your loved ones..
It’s the same reason why no matter how exhausted you are, you still show up for work because it’s “important “
Excuses will only come when the person isn’t important enough but go off🤭
Men are simple creatures — they’ll tell you what they want, show you what they like, and mean exactly what they say. The confusion usually starts when you try to read between lines that don’t exist.
I've come to the conclusion that:
If you're an actual smart person - to find love and stay in love, you need to consciously relegate rational thinking.
Love thrives at the highest frequency of compromise and sacrifice -
at that frequency, logic cannot ALWAYS mutually coexist.
As a single mother I am saying this:
Men have a sense of balance when it comes to providing routine and discipline but also support, encouragement, and show unwavering dedication to their children. Men also tend to lead with more logic than emotion while still allowing room for their children to feel and express emotions. They also tend to be able to separate their trauma they’re healing from their responsibilities as a father.
A lot of women (not all but a large majority) don’t know how to balance all of these things on top of not allowing their emotions get the better of them. A lot of women also are jealous of their children, harbor spoken or unspoken resentment toward them for a broken home, or refuse to break the cycle of trauma in some capacity. Hell, some women with a partner struggle with this as well but it can become more apparent when single.
