you know it's funny, my ex used to treat me like a queen (clearly this was long before the break up), he'd do so much for me. There was once when we were sitting on the couch, watching a movie and eating. I got up to get a refill and he asked me to bring him something. I had to stop myself from getting mad. Obviously I had a life long expereince of being treated as a slave, or at least raised to think I was one since I'm a middle eastern woman, and well, how dare we be respected. I stopped myself from saying something and got it for him.
I told my friend about it and if she could have reached through the phone and slapped me, she would have. Because yeah, I got miffed at him asking, but she reminded me that he does so much for me, his request was nothing.
but again, it goes back to being treated like a slave.
