Yeah, I pick and choose what to listen to when it comes to old people. My supervisor always has relationship advice for me.

1. Don't mother your man. - Okay that is decent advice even if I don't really follow it.
2. A man should take care of you. - This I don't like, it goes both ways or neither. And it contradicts what my mother has taught me ever since I was too young to know wtf she was talking about: Always support yourself. No matter how perfect your husband/boyfriend is, always work to make sure you can stand on your own.
