I was just reading a FB article in my newsfeed about chivalry and I just had to share this little story.
T has been wonderful about regularly opening the car door for me when he is driving and I think it’s super sweet. Over the past month I’ve driven us a bunch since I’ve invited T to some concerts, events, etc and I know where I’m driving.
I teased him about only opening the door for me when I’m the passenger and not when I’m the driver. He joked how when I drive I should be opening the door for him. So lately when I’ve driven I’ve been opening the car for T (when I remember). I think it’s super cute of us. In fact once when I forgot T stood by his door and cleared his throat haha.
Even though it’s a silly example I really do like that T doesn’t have a caveman mentality about gender roles in relationships. My last serious ex once said I was “too dominant” in our relationship and he didn’t like it. I actually talked to T about that last weekend because while we were out I ordered both of our beers when the waitress came. I realized that maybe he didn’t like that I sometimes “take charge.” We had a good little chat about things and T said he doesn’t mind at all, in fact he likes it. We have a good balance between us and I can’t believe we are approaching 6 months together!
So ladies (and gentlemen) take that ramble for what it’s worth.
