質問: 意味を教えてください my boyfriend loves me, is unfailingly kind, self-identifies as a feminist, and is always interested in and supportive of my academic work. here’s the weird part: he says “good girl” to me, usually when i’ve done something to take care of myself, like put my glasses on when my eyes are tired, or get to sleep and wake up at a reasonable hour. we live together and i adore him, and honestly, i like the “good girl” thing, at least to some extent. i am an approval-craving person, by nature and even though i don’t need it, i love to be validated. i wouldn’t want him to say it in front of anyone, but i do feel guilty, because liking it makes me feel like i’m some kind of sick, weird throwback or that he is. liking it makes me feel like i’m some kind of sick, weird throwback or that he is. の意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします
回答: 「よしよし、いい子だ」と言われるのが好きな自分は「頭のおかしな幼児返り」みたいだし、そんなことを言う彼も彼で、どうかしてると思うの。(だから、人前では、彼にそんなこと言って欲しくはないけれど、後ろめたい気持ちは残る) longmanの辞書では、 good girl/boy/dog etc : used to tell a child or animal that they have behaved well or done something well 特にold-fashionedではないかと。
