incase you weren't raised correctly, i think it’s a mans job to set the tone in a relationship; whether people want to admit it or not, a woman feeds off his energy.. his consistency, his intentions, his presence. she takes what he gives and reflects it. when a man leads with clarity, love, and respect, it creates a space where a woman can feel safe, soft, and secure. vice versa, when he leads with confusion, mixed signals, and inconsistency, it forces her to operate in survival mode. she becomes guarded, unsure, and emotionally exhausted.
As independent as I am, I still love to be babied. Acts of service are how I feel loved. I don’t care about money, just lighten my load. I’m too prideful to ask for help, but when you take the initiative and handle things without me saying a word… that means everything.
