I didn't understand her fixation on these kind of expectations until I really got to know her family and discovered more about her upbringing. I didn't see it initially and if I'm honest, didn't really believe it, but slowly I came round to understanding. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd push back a lot too.

    It's not just family and upbringing it's kind of enforced by basically everyone a little bit. House is a mess - oh (fem partner) must be struggling poor dear. The state of the house just sits in a corner of their mind all day everyday like a weight dragging them down like the telltale heart.

    Once you see the effect of it you can't really unsee it.
