Man defines himself by the women around him
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Tiago Dias grew up in Amadora, Portugal, believing he understood women because of his close relationship with his twin sister, Sara.
He felt she protected and provided for him throughout their childhood, handling aspects of life he didn’t. When Sara began pursuing her own interests in high school, attending a different school for sports, Tiago experienced a shock as he had always relied on her. He describes Sara as a vibrant, strong person who lived fully for both of them.
As they grew older, Sara became self-sufficient, working during university, obtaining her driver’s license, buying a car, marrying, and moving to the Alentejo region. Tiago realized he wasn’t meant to understand women, but to follow them, admiring those who lead the way. Now older, Dias has abandoned the idea of understanding women entirely, instead choosing to admire the strong women in his life, his sister Sara, his mother, his older sister Rute, and his wife, also named Rute.
He and Sara recently turned 49 years old, and he acknowledges his continued reliance on her, even as they live separate lives.
