Love…?

nalani:

Why is it that men think that because a woman that cares about them, and asks them to do a small task, they degrade that woman to their friends. My initial reaction to this was that those two do not have a relationship that would be called “Love”. The more I think about it, the more I’m torn by it, because I don’t know that couple. Maybe she needs him and she knows that he needs constant reminder, so she takes her time to give that. Maybe she is overbearing and doesn’t know how to give space to the one she loves, making him resent her. I’m just trying to write this down from a woman’s perspective. I also do agree with Rach. If he’s the father, he should probably start working on becoming a father, not galavanting with his friends(Although I’m the kind of girl that would totally be ok with my guy going out every once in a while. You gotta give each other space, or else you drive eachother mad). I dunno. that’s my two cents.

Please do not mistake my post as anti-women. I would be just as irritated by it if my female friend had been over and her controlling boyfriend wanted her home at a specific, to the minute time. Tell me if your boyfriend called you 15 minutes before you were supposed to be home just to remind you that they would lock you out of your house if you were even one minute late, you wouldn’t be pissed off by that? Everyone would think they were possessive assholes. It’s not like she is his employer. My point that people mistake love for ownership too often. I was just really drunk and not capable of expressing this clearly. That’s why I deleted that post first thing when I woke up.

He is not a father, btw. Not sure where that came from, but father’s are allowed to have friends, too. Maybe not everyday, but at least once a month or so. I would feel horrible if I knew my being born ruined my dad’s life.

My apologies to Tumblr. I hate Tumblr conversations, but I felt compelled to defend myself, here.
