Gonna sound weird to say but I think I've finally done enough self healing and correction that I'm ready to propose to my gal. We been in the game about nine years (that sounds wild I know but life came at us hard during those nine) and she's really held a nikka down. I held her down too but I just I had alot of issues with women and just my own personality that I had to address before i signed to that marriage business contract. Greatest thing I've learned is if you act like a bytch ass nikka, your gal will treat you like one. So always be doing the work as a man to dismantle any weakness and they'll fall in line with the plan
9 years

If that's what u feel congrats breh
But warning disclaimer
Alot of females change once them words I Do are said unfortunately
