@teto He lived in a time when that was true, some self reflection and comparison to now would completely change his opinion.
@teto It is what it is, accept your Dad for how he is. I have to do the same.
@teto Well if he asks about your thoughts on things best thing to do is be honest.
@teto I think things that bring people joy should be celebrated especially if they’re not harming themselves or others.
@teto Dating apps didn’t exist when he was of age. A good question I heard is that; would your mom have married your Dad if Tinder existed? My answer no. My Mom married older, I’m lucky to have been born at all.
@teto My Dad married several times over…
@teto My parents divorced and I went my entire life without a male role model. Didn’t know how to set boundaries was taken advantage of a lot.
@teto My Mom is a narcissist, and I’m starting to believe it’s default in female nature and I’ve learned to accept that. I only seek mutually beneficial voluntary relationships. Or transactional relationships with realistic expectations and boundaries.
@teto There is none. The expectation is being a wage slave and if you fail you didn’t wage slave hard enough. Absolute garbage.
I receive: sons to raise
@teto Usually you have a business or skills to pass down to your sons or someone to take care of your wife if you die.
