I find the very idea of being “left on read” ridiculous. I am not entitled to the immediate or even incidental attention of every person whose phone number I happen to posses. Maybe it’s because I started dating at a time and place when not seeing or hearing from your significant other for a week was perfectly normal, but putting an emotional valuation on a read receipt seems well out of the category of mentally healthy.

A lifetime of experience has taught me the fastest way to poke through someone’s hubris is to take their bullshit deadly seriously.

You want a trad wife? Get your sorry ass to work buying her cars, clothes, houses, furnishings so she can focus on making your home. Kids in private school, high class vacations, all of it.

Provider is a title that is earned and I doubt even a thousandth of these blowholes are up to the task of being a trad husband.

Op literally answered those questions in the post you’re replying to.
