I have my needs too but they’re specific. Female need seems so diffuse. You can’t get your hands on it. When you think she just wants a Slurpee, you find out she really needs all sorts of things you can’t provide.
Normally, I like it when my girlfriend natters on and on. Every girl I’ve had has talked more than I have when we’re alone. That’s great until she demands that I respond.
What do I say when I can’t validate her? Her girlfriends do that. “Oh, sister, you’re so brave. You’re a hero for going to HR about your boss.”
And I’m thinking, your story of persecution doesn’t ring true. If you put up with it for years as you said, then you’re partially responsible. We train people on how to treat us. If you let your boss abuse you, then that’s your fault that you didn’t have the dignity to stand up for yourself when the abuse first happened.
I don’t want to say this but she forces it out of me and then she gets mad and there are no more good times.
