wanting to be treated like a princess

As most other women, we want the fairy tale ending with a 'happily ever after' with our true love and being treated like a princess- Thank you Walt Disney for making us dream that way:) When in fact, I have come to realize that all my life all I have been doing is being a society slave. The fantasy I have been looking for has yet to be realized, and when my man suffered from job loss, that dream was like impossible to achieve.
I had to lay down all my expectations and try to get a reality check here, so that I can at least understand what was going on and do self forgiveness on that.

I forgive myself for allowing myself to want to be treated like a princess like in a fairy tale. I realize that I have been preconditioned since a little girl with stories that are just fiction and do not depict reality, probably, as a way to deter us from taking 100% responsibility for our own actions. I realize that just because a guy is male does not imply that he needs to be the one taking females out. I correct this to a point where both partners mutually agree to go out and spend time together as opposed to dreaming that someday the man would come home and realize all the fantasies that the female has allowed her mind to engage in. 

I forgive myself for allowing myself to conclude that only men need to treat a women out on a date. I realize that this is a point I have lead myself to believe just by watching other couples and the media. I realize also that by allowing myself to believe in such ideas that I am not seeing myself one and equal to my partner. Instead, I am playing a mind game which is a slave tool. 

I forgive myself for allowing myself to believe that it is women only that need to be loved and spoilt and that men don’t. I realize that this belief is not one which   promotes equality. I  correct this to being in situations where both partners are spoilt mutually, i.e. Going on trips together and living in the present.
