Comment: The more men I pursued, the more I was ghosted or ignored.

Almost a year after we met, Larry and I took a day trip outside the city. I offered to share the driving. On many occasions I'd said I could drive. Each time, he didn't respond – not with a yes or a no. Just with silence.

I was stunned. He was avoiding what he had come to expect in his decades of dating – outrage at his need to express his masculinity. When he dropped me off, I pulled Allen's book off the shelf and read it again.Larry still does the driving. He also cooks. On most nights, he's in the kitchen making dinner. I always ask if I can help, and he insists that I sit and relax. Cooking his famous peach-glazed chicken is another way he takes care of me, shows his love for me.

I often think about our second date: the pouring rain, the umbrella. I told that story at our wedding. When single women ask how I met my husband – or more precisely, how I landed a husband who cooks for me – I say that I met him the instant I gave up control and assumed a more passive, feminine role. As the words come out of my mouth, I know what's coming next: they'll accuse me of being anti-feminist.
