Then you'll have no problems finding the guy who will always be there to support and love you for your decisions as an equal. Not one who has an unhealthy rescuer complex which sets up just a different form of a screwy possessive relationship.
*ahem* I'm good. I promise, just remembered this from a couple months ago.  |
Haha. Frankly, if I met a Disney kind of guy, I would run away and name him a stalker.
I despise the 'knight-in-armour' idea, because it's so patronising to women. So, we can't be our own helpers? Oh, joy. Why can't there just be a relationship based on mutual respect?
