Background on the video:
When she says "friend", she's talking about a boyfriend. If you watch all the way through, the poet is critical of herself for giving (what she considers) husband privileges and husband levels of devotion to a guy who hadn't put a ring on it. Basically, she herself is saying that he didn't buy the cow because he was getting the milk for free n that in hindsight she should have seen her worth sooner.
I'm curious what y'all's thoughts on that are, but I didn't wanna give up the content without givin y'all a chance to listen.
Some of the things I was lookin to discuss:
Are there duties and gestures that should be reserved for spouses n not boyfriends/girlfriends?
Is it just semantics in a world where many committed couples opt out of marriage altogether?
Was she doing too much n shouldn't have been doing all that for any nigga, boyfriend or husband?
Can the reverse be true too, wifey privileges for a woman you're not wedded to?
