A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom.
But when a woman expects a comfortable life, she is somehow shamed for wanting too much.
The embarrassment you get after telling everyone you found a good partner, then they turn out to be an avoidant, switch up on you and break your heart like it's nothing. Is unbelievable.
My partner of two years decided to end things right before the holidays because he felt he needed to "explore the world as an unattached individual" and discover who he was without a safety net.
The twist? We had planned a trip months prior, and I had used 150,000 of my personal, hard-earned airline miles to book his first-class ticket.
A week after the breakup, he texts me: "Hey, just checking into my flight app and I don't see my boarding pass. Did the airline glitch?"
I had called the airline the day after the breakup, canceled his ticket, and deposited the miles back into my account.
I texted him back: "No glitch! I just realized that flying first class on my airline miles is the ultimate safety net. If you're going to truly explore the world as an unattached individual, you've got to start from the ground up. Literally. Hope standby treats you well!"
If you broke my trust and I still loved you enough to let you back in and give you a chance to rebuild it, only for you to leave me hanging and then call me crazy for wanting reassurance and a little extra effort to restore the security you took away, then you’re the worst kind of person.
@fvckfemi_ Nothing worse than being called psychotic by your husband because you get emotional during conflict. Then being told he should have listened to all his friends when they told him to not be with a girl like me. Worst feeling ever
