You’re supposed to learn as you grow so that your excitement doesn’t dominate your whole being to the detriment of other stuff.

That’s a very disingenuous argument.

He’s not a child that gets so overexcited he forgets his whole original plan ffs.

Depends on what it is.

What makes you think we don’t take as many reasonable precautions on the road too?

It would be polite to text, that’s all. When you live with someone and they’re expecting you home with the item you went out to get, you should text if that’s not the case. No big deal but it’s a little rude not to.

Glad to hear she is an ex.

That’s not very efficient.

The real story is the women setting up their husbands with each other 🥰

Because she knew she could trust this man, she didn’t know if she could trust the stranger. She was minimizing chance of harm… Her husband isn’t going to harm the seller, that’s her bet that she knows better than whether the seller will harm her.

It’s more than the probability, it’s the level of harm. It’s similar to how we protect our kids from paedos with a high degree of safety even though the risk is really low. It’s because the harm from a paedo is fucking huge. The harm a man can do to a woman is fucking huge, life shattering, soul destroying. Women go to lengths to avoid that because it does happen and it’s impossible to know when, where, who. The only truth we have is that it is a possibility now, here, with this stranger.

That is what the story is about, yes, women have a fear of harm from men. I assume you know why.
