There are a lot of issues with The Cut story, but no one can argue this paragraph isn't true, and it is exactly how I explain why I have no desire to date again.
@embernic @alyssaleann My biggest goal with raising a son is to raise a self sufficient man who won’t rely on his partners to take care of him the way that I do. I plan to teach him emotional intelligence, how to cook, clean, and function independently. Wish me luck
@embernic It's insane to BRING flowers to a funeral, like a casserole to a potluck. That's not how it works.
@embernic My wife and I met in our late 20s, by which time we were mostly fully-formed adults. We didn’t have to show each other any of these things. (My immaturity manifested itself in other ways.)
@embernic this op-ed was soooo frustrating because sometimes she would make great points but her "solution" was just "be hot and hope your rich husband doesn't leave you when you age out of being hot"
