I read alot of romance books and I watch a ton of shows made for women, bridgerton, tsitp, off campus.. Where more often than not the love interest is this perfect guy. Like most recently it’s been off campus. I read the books like 5 years ago and have been obsessed with the show. But everytime I indulge in fiction, I end up…unsatisfied? in my relationship…
I know it’s unfair to compare someone to a fictional character. But is that something others do as well? Or even if it’s too think “my partner is just looks this I’m so lucky”. I just want to know your thoughts.

Like the qualities that stand out for me are, that the fictional leads are so empathetic, and like proactive in defending their girl. I haven’t really observed either of these things in my boyfriend.

I just want to know which part of is an acceptable expectation and which part of it can only exist in a fictional man.

Ty!

woman*
In the title, my bad.

She seems extremely sweet to Agnes but I can’t tell if she believes in Gilead or if she sees it for it is. In e7 the only comfort she offers Agnes after being shown 3 old men as her suitors is “god had a plan for us” ????
What does that mean?
Does she know mayday is trying to get Agnes out or does she truly think god wants this teenage girl to marry a guy her dad’s age?

so my boyfriend m 25 used to be housemates with this guy K last sem. K moved away for an internship few months ago. in that time we found out that he sexually assaulted 2 of our mutual female friends. one was during the internship and the other a few years ago. now K is back in town for finals and wants to go out for dinner to celebrate and my boyfriend reluctantly agreed to go. but I think he should have just said no. he said the other guys wanted to get together as well so he obliged. (context: none of the other guys know about the SAs)

but what im mad about is - its not that hard to say no to dinner??? going out to dinner with him is like complying with his actions. i wish the women had complained but thats their call. but the least we can do is actively avoid this mf. right?
