I'm glad that was helpful. I think it was helpful for me to put into words. The really ironic thing is that I've never even been in a relationship yet. I'd love to see my list after I've been in a relationship.
It would probably go something like this:
Don't have feelings about anything or at least don't share them.
Don't have your own values and original thoughts…those are for the man to decide now.
Don't work outside the home; stay home and have kids (not like I have anything against stay-at-home moms, I just don't see it fitting my personality. But alas, if that's what the man wants…)
Basically summed up like this:
Don't expect your relationship to be any different than your mom's and dad's relationship.
