[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is kind of like if you had insecurities about your body and he showed you a TikTok of a model and said he hoped you would aspire to that some day.

That would probably make you feel even more insecure too.

I know people think men shouldn't have any insecurities and you should dump any guy who does but to me it would be no different from the above when he intentionally picked an insecurity - would people tell him to dump you if you were insecure about your body?[/quote]

Everyone has insecurities, but a day long fight over it and having to walk on eggshells is the issue. And I don’t think the analogy to the body is correct. The man saying his wife made him want to earn money is a vignette about him wanting to exert effort (under his control) to support his family. It’s about committment and support. the female analogy would be something like the woman saying that getting married made her want to make a beautiful home for her husband or cook for him - nurturing,  caretaking, commitment. Yes these are both gendered but neither is expressing something unattainable.

Exactly. That's a much better comparison. She was talking about his INTENTIONS and how she wants to inspire him. Nothing wrong with what she said[/quote]
