How times have changed, back in the day, going back 38ish years ago when I was young, free and enjoying a few dates, boys used to come meet you not expect you to travel an hour and a half on 2 buses to meet the boy whilst he chills out at home.
I have heard so many girls now saying its the girl who have to do all the running whilst the boy does nothing WHAT HAS CHANGED Its very concerning especially in the time we are living where woman's safety is a massive concern, so many women are being attacked and hurt why don't men look after the woman they are with. I had noticed a big change in the children born around 1992, is this the same everywhere?
I constantly hear the saying/meme #NotAllMen. Now I'm not getting at all men, the rapists, killers etc don't go around with it tattoed on there forehead so women are wary of all men. I also saw a TickTok of a man who was walking home, in front of him was a woman, he said "whilst I was walking I noticed how she kept looking back, her thinking she was being followed," he then said "it made him realise what women must think and how scared they must be" so now he shouts to them to let him pass or he hangs right back until they are out of view.
What's made me ask is, my daughter has a boyfriend who lives around an hour away, he is so laid back its a wonder his back isn't broke. Nothing seems to bother him unless its his nights out drinking with his mates. He works full time so my daughter takes the pressure off him by doing the travelling, all she asks for is to think about what she does for him even though she has bad anxiety about travelling. She asks him to meet her off the 1st bus which stops in the town center, it would take him 5 minutes on a bus to meet her and help her feel less anxious, he expects her to get the 2 buses and walk through 2 alleys to get to his house. Is it unreasonable of her to ask him to meer her, I never had to say anything to hubby he was there making sure I was safe.
My daughter was going to see him tonight, he told her to meet himat his brothers, thankfully she thought about it and said No they had a few words, it was getting late when at last she spoke up and said if you want to see me tonight you will have to meet me at our town as she wasn't travelling at this time at night. HE DID, HE GOT ON 2 BUSES MET HER AT THE EXCHANGE THEN THEY BOTH TOOK 2 BUSES BACK TO HIS.
My hubby gave our daughter a good talking to and what she should expect from a boyfriend,I think she was shocked as he usually stays out of there disagreements. It was good listening to him telling her that she is worth so much more and should be cared for the same way she cares about him. Hopefully this argument will give him the kick up the ass he needs.
Thank you for visiting. 💟 💟
