Women Are Sharing The Burdens They Face In Relationships That Men Don’t Think Twice About

19.

“Some men don’t seem to grasp that many women don’t get turned on by visuals to the same extent men do. Imagination and appropriately timed direct stimulation get them turned on. JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER TO YOU, DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T MATTER TO HER. Some men need to understand that being in a relationship means there will be times they will be temporarily inconvenienced. He does not need to make a spectacle out of it either. The woman shouldn’t have to bear all of the inconvenience almost 100% of the time. I have examples if needed.”

“1) Photographers for years have said that taking family photos is very difficult due to the father. It is incredibly common.

2) Along those lines, it is expected that for family activities or trips, he just has to show up. Anything beyond that becomes an issue, and often ends with him not going or sulking/angry the whole trip.

3) Female cancer patients are given info about what to do when her husband won’t help/divorces.

4) Decompression after work is only allowed for men. If his decompression time (even hours later) is disrupted in any way, the entire house knows. There will be yelling, swearing, slamming of doors/cabinets/drawers, etc.

I can’t think of any more at the moment. To note, generalizations and do not represent every lived experience.”
