It's interesting in relationships, have you noticed some couples, where they don't necessarily seem to communicate too much, but they are quite happy. He usually has status, good looks, or money, and she is usually very beautiful, and demanding.
I met one such girl this recent weekend, she's very sweet, and I like her a lot, but she is most definitely a princess in her relationship with her guy. She talks about how he can be "such a boy", but she says it with fondness. He is very good-looking, and so that increases her status.
I know a woman who is also a princess. She is gorgeous especially for a 40ish year old, and she expects to be kept in high standards. She is a perfectionist, and expects her husband (good-looking, with good cash-flow) to keep up to her standards. She expects him to eb the prince, or perhaps the king of her world. And when he reveals himself to be less than perfect, she is snarky.
The interesting thing is that she has produced a princess daughter. She expects things to go exceptionally well, and expects people to pull through for her, and especially her father.
I envy them.
Why? They know what they want, they know how they want to be treated, and they find men who want princesses, and there's lot of them. What with movies and magazines, women are often expected to be perfect or princesses, and men often want to treat them that way.
Me? I get uncomfortable when treated like a princess. I'm afraid of being put on a pedestal. I'm not perfect, and I've spent a lifetime trying to be perfect, and I don't want to be perfect anymore. It's too much work. I used to be a princess, and dumped the guy when he wasn't a prince, when I saw his flaws clearly. But, I think in the long run, being a princess might cause more unhappiness to me.
But, then I don't know what my role is? If it's not a princess, then who am I?
