Is being called “wife material” really a compliment? Let’s talk about the expectations behind the label, unpaid emotional labor, gender roles, and why I’d rather be called partner material.
We have all been there. Deep in the delulu trenches, making excuses for a man who has given us every reason not to. This is not a callout. This is a mirror. Grab your tea, sit down, and let’s get into the thoughts that keep women stuck. “I am the only girl he is talking to or interested in” No, you’re not. Trust, there are …
I’m a writer. My imagination is loud and it doesn’t shut off. Stories and fanfiction are how I get it out of my system. Lately that’s meant AI chat: you play a character, the AI plays another, and the two of you build a world together. It’s addictive. It’s fun. And it’s not going away. If you write for fun, roleplay, or live for a …
I came across a TikTok from The Cut, featuring writer Angeline Chapin talking about her article on women funding their boyfriends’ lives.
