Because my grandfathers payed for everything, they owned my grandmothers and their children and could do whatever they wanted. Seems like a raw deal. I'd rather pay my own way.

I think Sparrow summed it up pretty well. I let Face open my doors and walk on the street side of me. He always holds my hand on the subway, etc. We joke that if we were ever confronted in a dark alley, I'd probably be more likely to fight off a bad guy than him, but it's a nice idea. He's the man, he makes me feel safe. It doesn't mean he owns me. Of course, this is only true irl. The bedroom is a whole different story....
