Love is a cruel myth created to make women obey.

Men do not love us. They may be fond of us, but they think only of themselves, and when they tire of us...then all the words they have told us mean nothing. And if we are foolish enough to believe them, and love them in return...

Then we are heartbroken.

And we must simply live with this. It is as my father says. It is my burden to bear, and I must do my duty.

So it is. So it always will be.

	I'm afraid I have to concur with everyone here who's telling you that isn't LOVE or even a woman's CURSE, that "makes you obey", milady! I mean, honestly, the only man I ever thought about Obeying to that degree, was someone I didn't LOVE, but in fact, FEARED...! ~~For a good reason, mind you... But still..!~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Love and fear often go together. My father says it is more important that a woman obey and fear her husband than it is for her to love him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

well, that's not true at ALL, dear lady! I mean, honestly, your father's ideas are antiquated, at best, and controlling and abusive at worst! I mean, I just remembered there was actually more than one man whom I obeyed out of Fear rather than Love, but... well... it's not important, because the fact of the matter was, those men who used me so ill, are NOT the men I would marry, if I were given the chance...!

Anyhow, milady, I couldn't help but notice the cause of your distress in this string of comments.... You DO realise that if your husband REALLY wanted this OTHER woman, he could as easily have refused your father's offering of you for horses, and instead sent off for THAT woman to be his wife and his queen... But he LOVES YOU, you silly little chit! I'd hug you, if we were close enough to be saying all this face-to-face, and tell you to go and take your HUSBAND back...!
