Whether you're new to female-led relationships or already have experience as a dominant woman, questions are normal. In our "Chyrpe Letters" series, we answer questions from our users and our past selves with the kind advice you’d expect from a good friend.
Hey lovely,
Have you ever found yourself asking your boyfriend to take on more chores or hoping for more acts of service? If so, you might worry this makes you a demanding partner. Let me assure you, it doesn’t—not when you communicate these needs properly.
You're definitely not a bad girlfriend for expressing what makes you happy. In fact, clear communication is key in relationships. Often, what brings you joy will bring him joy too, especially when he knows exactly how to contribute to your happiness.
Being perceived as "bossy" can actually be quite attractive; many men appreciate a partner who knows what they want and isn't afraid to voice it. It shows confidence and depth, far from the flat character that comes from never stating your needs or desires.
Moreover, being open about your expectations can make your relationship more intimate and fun. It removes the guesswork for him and adds a layer of clarity that can enhance your connection. Plus, we're long past the days when women were expected to keep their wishes to themselves.
So, go ahead and tell him what you need—it's healthy, it's honest, and it's absolutely okay.
Keep glowing!
xoxo 😘
