Nothing has ever exhausted me more than men have. I know manipulative and abusive men I've dated were especially tiring, but I feel like all men are so chaotic and tiring...
I only recently learned that women need more sleep than men.... I am 39!!! Even my best boyfriends insisted on holidays where I would need to still technically be working while he was snoring in the background of our hotel room. I've even rolled up hot air balloons and pulled them off highways for a guy who manufactured and flew them (he passed away, sadly, and it wasn't due to ballooning).
I've never dated a guy who let me rest. Granted, I'm adventurous too blah blah. But I just can't even imagine a man actually letting me rest. Do they do this? Have I just never dated one? Have I just never met one?
The men in my family are like this. I've also seen women who never catch a break juggling a career, kids, and an exhausting husband. I've seen women just so so so soooo burned out and yet their men think they should push on or get tougher or something?
We are fuckin' built differently. That's all there is to it. Almost all the men I've seen throughout my life have the underlying idea that women need to be machines.
My worst boyfriends (the most manipulative and abusive) would start fights with me at 2 am when I had work the next day. These are extreme examples, but... okay so, extremely abusive men are exhausting and so are the not so abusive ones I've dated, too. So wtf are they doing?
The only conclusion I can come to is that they want to see us tired beyond belief. The more haggard and burned out we are, the less competition they have and the more they get to feel like they are the prize. Stress and bad sleep will ensure we look like crap, which means no compeition for them and at the end of the day when people see us together, they'll wonder how such a fresh looking scrote with no bags under his eyes ended up with such an exhausted looking girl. . .
You can compare almost any man next to almost any female and clearly see that we need more rest and that we are built differently.
The next man I date is going to take all the braun of our relationship. He's built for it; I am not.
You know the saying, "Be mean to keep 'em keen"? I feel like they probably have one that is something along the lines of, "Keep 'em tired so you don't get fired."
The first man who comes along that makes me feel sleepy, tired, stressed, keeps me up, and/or wears me out with anything other than sex is FIRED.
My abusive ex boyfriend chose to keep me up before big exams because he was evil and jealous that I did better academically. His full name is Keith Scott Brisson. This will not dox me because he is a serial rapist and abuser. He deserves to die.
