Broadly speaking, there’s an unspoken rule in societies that women are always right in relationships, and that a man should tread carefully when he explicitly rejects his gf’s wishes. When domestic and cohabitation issues arise, a man should listen thoughtfully and ensure in all the right ways that his spouse woud “glow” at the end of their dispute.
Personally, i’ve had firsthand experience in this. My GF would whine a lot about my liberal use of kitchen supplies, even after i’ve devoted my share of the housework. It became a persistent theme in our lives together, and we’d eventually lock horns on trivial things, like arranging plates and washing the sink. I told her that I need the kitchen because it is like my home, second only to my work. She said that she prefers I follow her arrangements, and that I’ll be able to cook/clean if and only if i fulfill her conditions. But when I said “no” to her, she became cold and refused to even indulge in our relationship. Her comments on my work became distant, and her written words became symbols. i’m aware it’s a bad outcome when my own gf starts using emojis as feedback on my work.
Do you agree I should mind myself and not “rock the boat”? That i should help her glow instead by agreeing to her conditions?
For those of you who are married, what is the key to a lifelong success and happiness in your relationships?
