I have dated women who expect me to read their minds and think if I am not Professor X I don’t care about them. One breakup the reason was “I shouldn’t have to ask you for anything, you should already know what I want before I want it. That is what love is!” Then I asked her if she does that for me and she made a face and said “No, you’re a man you don’t deserve that.”

As a dude in my 20s, actively trying to find some random 20 year old woman to date for a long term relationship is such a bad decision. I’ve stopped trying to date people (for now) because it’s just so draining as a man to have to deal with all the expectations and stereotypes placed on us.

That sounds like a bullet dodged honestly. You deserve someone to love you in a way that includes showing it by doing little things to make your life easier/better/more comfortable.

That was my wife for the last 20 years… The divorce is almost final (almost as in we’ve both signed off, it’s been sent to the court (Friday afternoon) we’re just waiting to hear back…). Yeah, she cheated on me. Yeah, it was a surprise. Yeah, she blamed me for not paying enough attention to her.
