I Feel Powerless as a Woman in My Relationship

July 10, 2024

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.

This post covers:

Hey sweetheart,

I guess pretty much every woman knows how you feel but that doesn't mean it's right. Unfortunately, misogyny still permeates many relationships today, where femininity is wrongly seen as a reason to be overruled or dismissed.

It’s crucial to bring this up with your partner and discuss the need for mutual respect. Sometimes, acting with more confidence and standing your ground can make a significant difference. Try taking more initiative and making decisions more often; it can shift dynamics for the better.

Personally, I realized how transformative it can be to be with someone who truly sees and respects you. Having a partner who values and honors your contributions reflects how much you respect and value yourself. It's a game-changer.

Remember, your feelings are valid, and advocating for yourself sets the tone for how you’re treated. You deserve a relationship where your voice is heard and respected.

You're a queen and you deserve to feel like one. Much love!
