Whitney Cummings had a lightbulb moment while dating a professional athlete.
She was arguing with him and said something like, “Why would you date me if I’m the kind of challenge you want?”
His blunt reply:
“Why would any man want a challenge in his relationship?”
That hit her hard. She realized she had grown up thinking conflict = passion and that being “feisty” or difficult was somehow attractive. In that moment she saw how exhausting that pattern actually is — especially for someone who already performs at a high level all day.
Chris Williamson added the perfect follow-up: if you’re grinding hard at work or in your sport, the last thing you want when you walk through the door is another fight.
It’s a surprisingly relatable wake-up call about what we mistakenly call “passion” in relationships.
What’s one relationship pattern you used to think was “normal” or even desirable… until you realized it was just exhausting?
@TennLeland@Flame_Volunteer Guessing we will see most of the rising RS-Soph and higher classmen transfer then. Make it sound like they'd just be out there twiddling thumbs the first year.
@Brad_Shepard@leegoins11 I mean he showed you a player doing what you said had never been done and you got mad and tried to turn it on him..hilarious times we live in.
@CkGaming91 @Richeywward@TheBearsBurner@SSN_Alabama The irony that your sarcastic comment actually disproved your narrative when that game was statistically one of their worst is not lost on me....
