Been meaning to talk about something I’m really picking up on, a kind of…psychic temperature shift that the girls are feeling. I see this sentiment more and more from the ladies, where formerly mainstream, working, “oh I’m not very traditional” girls will now confess that “I just want a man to lead, y’know? I’m sick of having to do all the work in a relationship”º
Things are inching towards a scarier future by the day. One of the biggest, most wonderful benefits of being with a man is that you provide a kind of spiritual shelter. When she’s with you, she doesn’t have to be strong and independent, combative and defended all the time. She gets to snuggle into your neck and let you pick the food, pick the activities, and just enjoy life along for the ride.
Women may be told they’re meant to be Captains by media/culture, but it doesn’t make them happy or fulfilled. They’re far more content to assume the natural role of a passenger - as long as the Captain (you) is strong and competent enough to let her enjoy the ride without worry.
Having an ex come back can be used as a kind of soft reset, a “Ver 2.0” where you keep the good and leave the bad as you start together. You can bill it as “eh….might as well give it a shot, but I’m not gonna _ this time, okay?” and give it a go. But I know nothing about the GrafMaiden, so I can only chime in w/ generalized stuff
º “do all the work” isn’t true, but they feel it’s so b/c he offloads much command authority to her under egalitarian beliefs
