Reminds me of my mom getting remarried several years ago, for about a weekend – dude waited until after the wedding to tell her he expected her at waiting at home with dinner waiting when he finished work.
I dunno, like I get that this version of manhood is “normal” but goddamn is it the most brittle, contemptable fuckin thing
When I was in college, we went to Albuquerque to visit my grandfather. We were just sitting on his patio, chatting, when he randomly looks at me and says, “You should pretend not to be smart so you can get a boyfriend.” I sat there, shocked at what he said, and he turns to my brother and demands, “Aren’t I right?” My brother looked at me all apologetic and goes, “When a girl pretends she’s not smart, I can tell, but I like it anyway because it shows she cares about me.”
My dad was there too. He just sat there, completely silent.
The only thing worse than being lonely is being lonely in a relationship.
