Both our mobile phones rang at the same time. After ending both our calls she said: “ it seems that we’re gonna waste our time talking to our boyfriends on the phone rather than doing X assignment today”.
My answer was: “I don’t have a boyfriend! That was Grandma I was speaking to on the phone”. Which was totally true, I mean come on how could I make that up? But something tells me she didn’t believe me.
It’s true I don’t believe in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. To me it’s against any women’s rights to be respected and cherished.
Here’s a simple equation that shows what I mean:
Boyfriend = love + no promise of anything = disrespect for women
Fiancé = love + a public promise to me = respect
Husband = love + a public fulfillment of that promise = utmost form of respect to a woman
So you see when people tell me “so then how can you get married to someone you don’t know?” Well that’s why we have the “engagement period”, why does it have to be the degrading boyfriend/girlfriend relationship to know each other?My answer was: “I don’t have a boyfriend!
