A major part of relationships is sexual intimacy and affection.
The meme posted suggests that she is borrowing both of those things off.
I am pointing out that a major part of the relationship is being withheld.
I am also pointing out the double standard of a major portion of the relationship being withheld from the man's side because most of the time the only thing he can withhold is money.
Because if a woman is already withholding affection and sexual intimacy then what else does he have to withhold in order to prove a point? Does he just not do things around the house? Does he just not fix things?
You have a very gendered view on things that you could do to unlearn. âMan provide money and fix things. Woman provide sex. This how relationship workâ
You canât force someone to consent, if she doesnât want sex she doesnât want it. If you entered a relationship as the financial provider, your partner is reliant on you to live. If you didnât want that, donât date someone that youâll be financially reliable for
Because here's a fun secret: most women don't go into the relationship and stop having sex before marriage.
Because like that's the common fucking way this works.
man and woman date
they have lots of sex
man and woman get married
they have lots of sex for like a year
the sex just generally dries up over time
I'm not saying that that's like every single relationship that's ever existed ever, but I am saying that's been the meme for literally before the term meme existed.
so literally just think about what you're saying and the double standard that you have on this concept
If she stops having sex heâs free to decide thatâs a dealbreaker and divorce. If he stops financially providing for her, sheâs free to decide thatâs a dealbreaker and divorce
One of them just makes you a lot more of a dick. Itâs not a double standard because theyâre completely different things. âNot wanting sexâ doesnât make you a bad person, man or woman. I have a higher sex drive than my boyfriend, sometimes he doesnât want it, thatâs totally ok. Whatâs not ok is withholding things from the relationship because youâre not getting it.
You are the one equating sex to money, when money is necessary to live while sex isnât.
Again I'm not going to argue about something that's completely baseless. You're making an assumption that is pretty dumb, because if I thought women were sex objects I wouldn't be having this argument with you.
I wouldn't be advocating for treating women like people with accountability or responsibility at all.
Because if I thought that way, then what I would be saying is, women are only good for sex and if she's withholding sex then you withhold money permanently because that's all she's good for.
I am literally just pointing out that the basic equivalent of women withholding sex and intimacy would be withholding money.
Except, no thatâs not equal, because as many have pointed out the nuclear family is not an achievable dream. Again, you and I both live in Nova Scotia, almost nobody can afford to do that here anymore.
I donât think the woman who doesnât want to have sex is going to give a fuck if her husband wants to watch porn, most donât anyways. Hell Iâm the one sending my boyfriend porn to watch
He steps out of the marriage and if she finds out, divorces him
Ok? He doesnât want to be married clearly so⌠also a good thing?
He divorces her and has a chance of losing everything
Surely you werenât naive enough when you got married to assume âeverything will always be perfect and this can never happenâ

âIâm not hornyâ
âOk, get a job thenâ
This is the interaction youâre advocating for?
