Working mostly pipeline jobs, I have realized a lot of guys at work act as if they hate their wives and girlfriends. Why are they in a relationship? Most of them are waited on regularly and treated like royalty, but still bitch about the “old lady.” I know it is general biology that brings humans together, and the natural need to breed, but I’m not totally sure about this one. I guess it’s a dominance issue in some cases. These guys act as if their significant other is stupid and usually talks down to them, and almost always talks shit on them to the guys. I think the only goal for them is to find a woman that will put up with their shit and always be there for them, regardless of how they’re treated most of the time. They like the feeling of being in control and a woman that lets them be in control, will fuck them twice, and stick it out in most situations, then she seems like “one of the good ones.” They’re not wrong either. They are the “good ones” a lot of the time, and it is sad that they waste their time, personality, and ethics on a shithead, but that’s the name of the game, and it’s a sad reality. Some cases are great, the personalities match up, and the woman stands her ground and puts him in his place and it all works out, but in my experience, those cases are limited. Sometimes it goes back to old school ethics and mentality. In certain places the times haven’t changed much and when people settled into their gender roles, they have stayed that way through generations. My grandma still believes a woman should be cooking, cleaning, etc, and I respect that from her, but more men need to realize that times have changed, and when a woman works a full-time job, the cooking and cleaning, along with everything else is now mutual, and should be handled without gender attached. That also goes for dominance in a relationship. Men are more inclined to act as an alpha, but when it’s very prevalent and unfair, then things obviously need to change. They should protect their queen, but then also treat her as that queen. Biology makes us different, but common sense and rationalization makes us who we should be.
