When women say that want men to “treat them like a queen”, they generally mean they want respect, loyalty, romance, communication and such; basically they want to be part of a respectful, loving, healthy relationship.
With that said, syntax is everything and paramount to a healthy relationship is good communication. Words mean different things to different people. When I hear the word queen, I think deference, adulation, and subjugation; good traits a queen would expect of her loyal subjects but not so good in relationship of equal parties.

It would seem that the least a man could do is pay his dues. Ok, some women may mess the money around, but there is nothing anyone can do about that. If there are concerns about the money, why not go for custody rather than skip on the child support?
Most guys pay somewhere between $300 and $600 a month. Anyone with a child will tell you that it takes a lot more money than that to raise a child. Am I not understanding something?

Remember when you and your sweetheart would cup the receiver in your hands, and whisper sweet nothings to each other well into the night?
Early on it was no problem for you to pick up a dozen red roses, champagne and pearls for your lady’s birthday even if you had to work overtime to pay for it. Your girl’s grand smile was worth the effort.
So, what happened?

There is something I’ll call “conventional” orgasm, which may be what some of you are referencing as you write your comments. Neurochemically, orgasm releases the hormone oxytocin, which promotes good feelings and can lead to mutual comfort, safety, and caring, but not always. For example, if you have an orgasm with a casual encounter, it is unlikely to promote anything but a feeling of release with a strong desire to go home. Many times disconnected or addictive sex can lead to emotional irritability and intense feelings of malaise, self blame or even the blues.

A bond with a significant other is a fragile thing. Intimate relationships need much care. Time, affection and attention are vital ingredients in a healthy relationship.
