I have a friend who is almost 30 and works in a very good company on the island. Every weekday, she leaves home as early as 4am just to beat traffic and get to work on time, and she doesn’t get back home until around 10–11pm at night. Her salary is really good, like really good… but here’s the part that’s hard to understand. Her parents have refused to let her move out and rent an apartment closer to her workplace. Their reason is that they don’t want their daughter living alone. They say her future husband is supposed to meet her in their house, not in her own apartment. But here’s what makes it even more confusing… her brothers who she is older than were allowed to move out and rent their own places. When she first got the job, her parents were even the ones receiving her salary. Honestly, I don’t even know what to call this anymore strict parenting, control, or just fear… but I keep wondering how long someone can live like this before it starts affecting everything. What do you think?

“We all have the same 24 hours.” Not me. I have ADHD, so I have MAYBE a good 30-45 minutes.

I think straight women are taught to perform jealousy in relationships in such an interesting way.
