21074th poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 8)

It’s not about personality it’s about, like, expectations. It’s not that I think most “girlfriends” I know act like property, it’s that they feel like they’re treated like it

Like when somebody is introduced as Your Friend’s Girlfriend there’s like. A connotation to it. The title kind of strips them of independence. You know them only in relation to this friend, and your relationship to them will always be second to their relationship to their partner. This is initially true of Your Friend’s Friend, but I find that effect is… much weaker

It’s got a kind of inflexibility to it

normally people here would introduce the girl by her name first and then elaborate if she’s in a relationship

im ok with like, saying things that don’t Directly correlate to “ownership” and also a few other things
but GOD i hate the idea of being controlled in any other way than a fantasy, a pretend way
my ability to be autonomous is one of the things i value the most. it can be fun silly time to pretend i’m not but as soon as you get anywhere near to it being real i am fucking horrified

this is also one of the reasons i don’t want marriage even if it’s not a ritual; legally, if you’re married your finances are “merged” (as my dad puuts it but iirc its basically just “you can use each other’s money and have same bank account n shit”) and money is one of the Key Things You Need to be autonomous. I fucking hate this concept and i do NOT want to be linked to anyone in such a way because GOD i would fucking hate that

It’s not something I noticed very much at all before now. Like it’s not something I ever… felt strongly when imagining the concept of a relationship, nor when observing others’ relationships. But it’s something I feel strongly now

(“Context-dependent ‘persona’ moment”: this is the kind of thing I much appreciate being able to talk about and work out without the presence of the person it’s relevant to!)
