Speaking as a wife and mother, it's likely the only time in her adult life that somebody focused on her wants and needs instead of expecting her to cater to theirs.
Following that thought through fully: and her wants for those two days happened to be dick from a homeless man.
Lol. I get what you're saying though.
also to be a naked model for a painting
Sure bro, but when a dude does it you're like "He is my role model!"
edit: Not talking about "you" the commenter, just the double standards of people.
There's a difference between a wanderer and a homeless person, a massive difference.
Maybe you should get a better husband
The way that person is speaking I don't think it's only from the point of view of the fictional character.
Maybe she got married when she was young and naive and was pressured by her family to settle down with the first half decent man she met. And then by the time she grew up and learned to think about her own needs, she already had kids who needed looking after more than she did.
You have a bad marriage.
Isn't that obvious from the comment?
Yes - my point is I do most (almost all) of the cooking and cleaning because I love my partner. In fact I just washed her underwear by hand in the sink. Her needs are meticulously attended to, it's not the default in heterosexual relationships that a woman be emotionally neglected.
Ignore the incels. They think it's a privilege for women to be even heard.
Sounds like you have a martyr complex
