Interesting analogy. I never knew that about horses and their response to their burning barn.

I’ve expressed to him this reality in the past. Everything about how a man should treat a woman, a daughter learns it from how they see their father treat their mother, even if it’s their stepmother. He denied it and said “my daughter won’t put up with that sh** and walk away”. Does that mean he doesn’t expects me to walk away? What level of respect does he have for me if he expects me to put up with that sh** and stay?
