there is a common thread that Iāve noticed among women wherein many of us (rightfully) believe ourselves to be good girlfriends and wives. and this isnāt without reason. entering into a romantic relationship and we naturally mold ourselves to our partners wants and needs. we think, Iām going to throw the shirt they left here in the wash so they donāt have to worry about cleaning it later. Iām going to pick up ingredients at the market for their favorite meal and make it for them. Iām going to leave a glass of water on their nightstand for when they wake up. Iām going to inconvenience myself in this small way in order to make their life marginally easier. these sacrifices hardly even feel like sacrifices. if anything theyāre pleasurable: their happiness is your happiness. and yet itās clear to me that this is a particularly deeply entrenched tendril of socialization. men rarely think like this, rarely reorient their thinking so radically when in a relationship. it presents a dilemma for women. you can either continue being overtly caring and nurturing, even if itās not reciprocated or even necessarily appreciated, or you can actively become more withholding, which is emotionally taxing in its own right. what can you do. womanhood is synonymous with dissatisfaction and disillusionment
