Unlucky_I_Guess Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well, in what context? I mean, man or woman, IMO, you should always be treating sweetly. Problem is, in this day/age, IMO, people see simple acts of kindness to your SO as "submissive" and/or smothering. Like if my man is outside cutting grass, washing the cars, etc. How is it being submissive to greet him with a tall iced tea and/or beer? If he passes me the sugar while we're eating at the table, why not say "thanks my sweet"? And, if a woman is cooking, dude walking up to her and gently kissing her on the neck and saying "ummmm, that smells good" is something wrong? How is him opening the car door for her being considered something "old fashioned"? Since when did buying flowers for her become an annoyance? I think the femenazis have put this wedge between man and woman cuz they want to minimize the love/affection and RESPECT that is supposed to take place between man and woman cuz now a days relationships are "partnerships". I'm your "partner" not your wife/gf/lover. Got it...whatever Now, another important point is "time/place". You don't do all these sweet things just for some bf/gf. You don't cook some dude a full course meal on your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd date. Do too much, too soon and w/o that person "earning their keep" and yep, you're gonna have someone who is taking you for granted. I did all that. Ex cheated on me and moved in with him. I guess some people just don't appreciate someone doing the little things for them.
Got it Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Yes, treating others as you would like to be treated is always a good mode of conduct. But that does not mean you are codependent or a push over. I am very nice to my husband, do things for him, and vice versa. But if either crosses the line, we let the other person know.
