Wow, who's triggered here? Clearly you. I am completely satisfied with my relationship; he's the best man I've ever met in my life. We have a full and complete partnership, we care for each other as equal partners, not an unhealthy, codependent dynamic. He and I are both mature enough to recognize that the materialism and gender stereotypes we've all been sold by popular culture, are bullshit. Men and women in a relationship get to decide what works for them, regardless of what anyone else thinks. And money is simply a tool we all need to live, but I don't worship it as so many do and there's an immense freedom in that.

Absolutely, you do you. If you want to treat a man like a wallet, that's your business. But be careful what you ask for, because when usually when a man holds all the financial power, most women find they are a prisoner in a cage of their own making - I've seen it a bunch of times with friends and family. I'm proud to make my own money and to have equal power in calling the shots about our finances and our future. That's what empowerment looks like in the real world (not love and light).

I'm guessing you don't have a loving, fulfilling and respectful relationship, otherwise you wouldn't spend your time writing articles about how terrible men are. But hey, I've used writing as therapy too, it's a great way to release the resentment from being hurt so many times before. I sincerely hope it all works out for you...
