people ask this like there's a rulebook. there isn't. i'm a stud. my girlfriend is femme. i pay when i did the asking. she drives because parking decks make me mean. last cookout an uncle said "so you're the man" and we left before dessert.

stud femme relationships at home

i want to hear how other people split the boring parts. who texts the group, who talks to the landlord, who is "the man" in somebody's uncle's head. if your answer is "we ignore the uncle," say how long that lasts.

stud femme is not butch femme with the nouns swapped

i keep seeing them treated as the same dinner. they're not, and i'm not opening that up so white couples can shop for a label. if you're in a stud/femme relationship, you already know why the words aren't interchangeable.

    the uncle line shows up every year. we stay through the meal if the aunties are the ones who cooked, and we leave when he wants a debate. last time i said "i'm not a man" once and then talked about the green beans until he got bored.

    i'm the femme. i open my own door when i feel like it. she still gets the car door when it's raining because the passenger side dumps water on your shoes. that's weather, not a wedding vow. i text the landlord. she texts the group chat because i will forget.

    butch/femme here, and yeah i'm not going to call it the same thing. different history. i pay when i ask too. mostly because i picked the place and it feels weird to hand her the bill for my idea.

    green beans strategy is noted. she already does the landlord. i'll keep the group chat and the rain door. uncle can have the green beans alone next time if he starts early.
