I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.
Carry on.
The biggest rule in a relationship is no matter how mad you are at your partner, you do not go and seek someone else's attention. You sit your ass there and make it right. Because that's your person. If you can easily go to someone else, you do not love the person you are with.
Keeping a "work husband" is just socially acceptable emotional cheating, and women know exactly what they are doing. You spend 40 hours a week trauma-dumping about your actual relationship to a man who is secretly waiting for your marriage to fail. If your husband had a "work wife" who he bought coffee for, texted after hours, and complained to about you, you would literally burn the house down. The double standard is a joke.
We have an entire generation of women screaming for "princess treatment" who absolutely refuse to give "king treatment." You want a man to plan every date, pay for every meal, fund your lifestyle, and cater to your every emotional whim. But the exact second he asks for peace, a home-cooked meal, or some grace, you scream, "I'm not his mother or his maid!" You don't actually want a partnership; you want an unpaid sponsor.
Women have completely normalized ruthlessly body-shaming men over things they literally cannot control, like their height or their hairlines, and society just laughs along. But the exact second a man expresses a simple preference for something a woman can control, like her weight or fitness level, he is publicly crucified and labeled a toxic misogynist. The absolute hypocrisy is staggering
Dating nowadays is a joke. you have to act like you don’t care, wait hours to reply, pretend you’re not too interested just so they don’t think you’re too available.
God forbid you actually like someone and show it. it’s not love anymore, it’s all mind games.
