Today marks 6 months since bae & I shacked up together. At the time it seemed a little bonkers, but two lockdowns, a half finished building project, a job switch (him) & multiple rounds of antibiotics (me) later we are happier than ever and I am grateful for him every day 😍💖

Reminded this week that of the extraordinary effort some people expect from women to manage their feelings. (Not personally thankfully, but feel for the multiple women I heard some version of this from. Omg)

Do these men know it’s possible to get upset and work through your emotions rather than violently expressing them to the nearest women?

Related: people who don’t directly express what they want and then resent you for not reading their mind.
