I think I know a lot, but there is a therapeutic reason! My family of origin treated women as less-than, and just kept me in the dark about a lot of things. It was unnatural! I went thru years of therapy prior to this t, not realizing my warped point of view. It even affected my basic manners - I wouldn't ask someone how their day was, even after they asked me about mine, because I figured if they wanted me to know, they'd tell me (I didnt dare ask my family anything) - so I seemed pretty rude and selfish. So it was awful getting over feeling intrusive and awful and horrible and nosy and uncaring (?!) when I asked t about his plans for a holiday, for example. But now it's just normal. And it's just normal IRL and on here.
