A male colleague casually said he goes to Amsterdam seven times a year because he doesn’t have a girlfriend “tying him down.” It wasn’t a throwaway comment, he clearly meant it as a flex.
AIBU to find that a bit telling? Like… what exactly are you doing in Amsterdam that you think a partner wouldn’t approve of?
Why do some men frame being in a relationship as some kind of restrictive jail sentence that stops them from “living”?
Is it just immaturity or something else?
