What should I do when I’m unbelievably annoyed with my papa? There are moments when I dislike him so much that I want to snap, “You damn old man!” but I’m not sure how to deal with it.

I’m Meg, a female member. You can’t exactly curse out your papa (a male supporter) to his face, right? You’re really hanging in there, continuing to meet him... When that happens, go to the restroom—or anywhere you can get a little space—and count to ten. It’ll help you calm down a bit. Then, when you get home, take it out on a punching bag. Let your voice out and release the frustration. If you say those things to him directly, you’ll only hurt him. Of course, the best thing would be to find a papa (a male supporter) you never feel the need to curse at!

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thank you for your question. It seems like it would be hard to talk back to your boyfriend all the time, too—but do you actually talk back to him? I think it may be possible to build a similar relationship with your papa (a male supporter). Try to remember how you developed that kind of relationship with your boyfriend and do the same thing. Some papas want to feel like they’re in a romantic relationship when they’re together with you, even if there’s a 20-year age gap or the relationship involves money. First, it may help to figure out whether he’s that kind of man and focus on building a relationship where you can say what you really think. However, some men want a woman who will do whatever they say. If that’s the kind of person he is, I think you’re better off finding other ways to relieve your stress. If it’s simply impossible, ending the relationship may be better for your mental well-being.
