So last might I was chilling with my LTR in bed, just some late night pillow talk and feelz, and \"where are we heading\" kind of stuff. Comfortable intimacy. Now my LTR is pretty much an RPW in 99% of ways. She's explicitly told me she expects me to be the leader of her household, that the man is supposed to be the man in a relationship,and so on... all good stuff. Which is cool, but she still says some pretty funny stuff now and then.

Anyways, she says to me \"You know that the reason I'm with you is that I really love you, right? Cause if I only wanted to be married and have security I would have got a rich guy.\" So I started laughing to myself, and said to her with a chuckle \"Oh, so you would have just snapped your fingers and the rich guys would have come running?\" She said, 'Well, you know, I like to think I'm an attractive woman. And I've been told that by many people... so it wouldn't be that hard\". I was trying hard not to laugh out loud at this point. She understands the sexual marketplace perfectly, but hearing how things really seem to be so simple, so expected, and so easy from the female perspective was making me crack up.

Now a couple years back I might have been hurt, or insecure, or confused by her intentions or subtext. Now I just think it's hilarious. I pulled her closer to me, gave her a little smooch and said \"You're so cute babe\". And the night ended as it should...
