So if one partner in the relationship says they're hungry, the other is supposed to jump up and travel 2-hours to feed them? What kind of low self-esteem worthless sap doesn't see the problem with that? lol

I don't know your personal situation, but if The above sounds like familiar of behavior, I hate to tell you this but you're being abused. Ignore the language for a second focus on the actual behavior being described. It's unhealthy.

I admit that the words are crass, but It doesn't change the fact that the behavior above involves one person being taken advantage of. You don't have to defend it if that describes you. Take inventory of your value and say no, maybe lol

Oh whatever. It is never used in that manner. It is used on guys who are doing things with their partner that their partner enjoys. Things that wouldn't be seen as a overly masculine thing to do. Because men apparently have to be the alpha and tell their woman to stay in their place or whatever. I guess spending quality time with your partner doing things that they enjoy sometimes makes you a pussy and subservient little bitch.

Now let's say your bullshit statement were true. The guy is in a relationship where he isn't treated as an equal, and made to be subservient. You're now just being abusive as well. You're doing the same exact thing as their partner by talking down to them and breaking them down in an attempt to do what you say.

So if you're really defending this type of stupid ass, toxic, childish language then maybe you should take a real long hard look at the kind of person you are.

What do you have against urban slang to describe uneven burden-sharing in a relationship?

Ah yes. I forgot about that other incredibly emotionally mature statement. I know when I want advice on a healthy relationship I sure want to ask the guy who calls people "pussy-whipped".

Simp is the gen-z term. We used to call it pussy whipped - same concept.

We need an admin console

Yeah. I mean I have good friends who would take a bullet for me. I'm a good friend because I would never ask them to, and vice versa.

I think really did a great job of explaining this.

That’s a really good one. I wish I could have my eye blink statistics.

And someone who walks around calling other people a "simp" isn't a teenager passing as an adult?

It’s because humans can’t comprehend infinity. We can comprehend the lack of an ending, and we can comprehend the lack of a beginning, but the entirety of an infinity is incomprehensible. It’s not that it in and of itself doesn’t make sense, it’s that our sense relies on comprehension, so it might make sense it’s just we can’t make sense of it.
