Thank you, this.
In a good relationship, you should both have something to lose. You being a provider while she "holds down the home" isn't always equal an equal tradeoff - a lot of women get married and have kids as a come up.
Also, this is why it's important as a man to get in the gym, be attractive, fukk her good, etc. Gives her a few more reasons to not want to leave.
Exactly, she needs to sacrifice as much as you are.
I don't think every relationship should automically be like this, but this is why some guys want their wives to be submissive. It's an equal tradeoff. If I'm providing financially for you, protection you, and having to be tough and stoic, who really has the power in the relationship?
It's like BDSM. The submissive has the power, assuming the dominant is not a bad guy.
That's why she needs to go the extra mile. And some women, if they really value you, will have no problem wanting to go the extra mile with you.
