Harping on people to get married from up in the ivory tower fails to engage with reality of life in the dating trenches.

Oh god, you're with a woman who doesn't NEED you and yet still chooses to be WITH you? The horror! /s

I know right? It's like we just mutually respect each other, love spending time together, but encourage each other to be their own person as well. The shame we feel together... /s lol

But yeah I don't understand the mentality of "She needs to be subservient" and "you need to be the alpha" and "gender norms". it sounds exhausting. These guys have no idea what they're missing. Sure, we split cleaning 50/50, I'm honestly a terrible cook but I do all of the dishes while she cooks, and then after that? We hang out and play video games together every night. Dudes have no idea what a healthy relationship can be like
