Not sure if right forum

Postby conflit_homme » Tue Aug 14, 2012 1:45 am

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes.

I am the third child in a family of five boys and one girl. Unfortunately, I am the runt of the family, which means the only thing that makes my dad proud of me is my perfect french, german, and italian, as well as going to college. When I got to college I met a beautiful girl from France (thank god for my french) whom I ended dating as of the past six months. I love her to death and want nothing more than to make her happy, but I keep getting hung up on one thing: she can bench press twice my weight. It's not the only thing about her that excites me, (she's beautiful, sexy, brilliant, and of course french) and she is in no way "the man" in bed, but there's nothing quite like being carried like a princess by a girl who's a head shorter than you are.

I don't know if it's the house I was brought up in (men are the dominant ones in every relationship and girls are helpless things that must need a reliable man to support/help them with EVERYTHING) or just the fact I grew up in white trash heaven, but I can't help feeling like something's wrong. I haven't taken her home to meet my family yet either and she's been asking. I could really use a hand here!
Thanks!

Hello and a belated welcome to the forum. This is a very unusual problem to have. I think it can sometimes be a bit ingrained in societal norms that the man is supposed to be stronger than the women but ultimately, I think maybe you should see it as a positive that she is prepared to look after her body well enough that she has managed to attain this degree of strength. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, perhaps you could simply ask her to not flaunt her incredible strength in front of you.
In a way, I am not defined by my dissociation. In a way, I am.
