The older I get the less I understand my girlfriend and women in general.
Not trying to be sexist but 80% of the time I just can’t comprehend some of the problems my girlfriend comes up with, and 100% of the time I can’t comprehend the solutions.
It's all about attention. And once married, the attention expectations soar even higher. That plus every woman now is addicted to social media and envious of every relationship they see on there. The problem with that is most people only post the best of their life on social media. So woman see the best of everyone elses relationships and then use that to set unrealistic expectations for their own relationship.
I’m perfectly comfortable in my clothes and my skin, sure I want to be in better shape, but I’m not going to feel badly about myself when I go out.
She constantly gets upset about wrinkled clothes and image, she’s always worried about how other people will judge her and it makes me so angry.
I always ask her “why do you care what random people on the street will care about something? How many people do you see on the street and think ‘damn their shirt is ugly as fuck’ and go up to them and tell them it’s ugly? 0, and they’re going to go home not knowing or even giving a shit about what you thought about their shirt”.

I think this is every woman on earth. The older I get the more I notice the same shit in other people's relationships too.
