We’re coping and burying the instinct to sympathize with him or try to save him, bc we’ve all made that mistake a few times and learned from it It *looks* like it gets you pretty far, but then you wind up either in a sexless situationship, or a horribly toxic relationship getting abused and/or cheated on bc you put her on a pedestal she doesn’t deserve and convinced her she can do better. A one-sided all-take-and-no-give relationship is just an ego trip most women don’t handle well.
