    My husband actually said after we married that he wanted to be treated like a baby. What these men don’t realize is that women start losing desire for men like this. A woman doesn’t want to have sex with a child and that’s what he’s showing he is.

      It's not just during marriage, I see men acting like children in the early dating stages. A lot of these men children don't even know how to lead relationships. It totally kills desire in us women. We desire to be with adult men, not children.

    I've read in some anthropology book, that it's actually like that: men never grow up and always need a mother role in heir life.. When they marry, the wife becomes new mother to them.
    If we actually acknowledge that, and men would openly admit it, there would be no place for a patriarchy anymore. They fear it, but at the same time cannot grow up, so they need to play a role of the stronger ones.

      The problem is that many men want a nurturing mother role that is also submissive to them. They are not playing a power role, they want it all. Nurture me, take care of my needs but I’m the boss. Apparently peaceful and flourishing matriarchal societies have existed in the past with maybe a few isolated small communities still left. One African society believed that males were not complete human adults. Their societies focus was on creating a nurturing home and community, not going to war to dominate the world. Sound familiar? Is it nature or culture that makes boys into soldiers? Maybe a mix of both.

    That's so true that cats are better at taking care of themselves. When I'm slow at getting to filling up the cat dishes in the morning, my cats make it known by pawing open the cupboard door themselves and tipping over the cat food bag which spills onto the floor in which they then help themselves to the crunchies. I've said it before to my friends. Cats are the best kind of relationship.

    My mom basically abandoned to marry a man fifteen years her senior. He had lost his wife six months before he met my mom. While my mom was dating him she oohed and cood over him like he was her favorite child. She thought it was adorable that he couldn't clean his own glasses and cleaned them for him. When he said that my mom reminded him of his late wife she was flattered!
    This dude basically brought out my mom's worst qualities and because of her and his actions our relationship (me,my older sister, and our mother) hasn't been the same since. My mom married him nine months after meeting him. She acts like he's the best husband on planet earth but he's just a pitiful old man who couldn't go a year without a wife. My mom is his third wife btw. His first marriage ended in divorce.
    My mom claims she married for love but I think it was so she wouldn't have to work into her 60s. When she was dating him she would excitedly talk about how she'll get to quit her job and that he'll pay for my Granny to go to a nice assisted living place. BTW, my Granny is also nine years older than her new son-in-law.
    I don't want to go into too much detail about my current situation for time and privacy but what I do want to mention is that even though am technically an adult my mother never truly prepared me to live as an adult on my own. Even though I was taught how to cook,clean,and mow the lawn I was never truly given independence. In fact, I was afraid of independence because I was afraid of messing up. I thought that one day I would waltz into Sunday school one day to meet my future husband. However, unlike my mother I have no such luck. When my mom abandoned me she expected me to apologize to her for not supporting her at her wedding to a man I never liked or saw as a member of our family. She also expected me to find an apartment with the salary of a part-time custodian at our church. Her husband has a very fragile ego that constantly has to be groomed. He couldn't sing happy birthday to my Granny without pulling out his dopey guitar. He got into my face and asked me why I didn't like him. I burst into tears because I was afraid to answer. When I got home I wondered why a seventy something year old man with the majority of my family on his side would get so worked up that two (three if you count my brother-in-law) didn't like him absolutely baffled me. In over the seventy years on planet earth did it ever occur to him that not everyone would like him? The only man there would probably have to be my brother-in-law. My mother's new hubby might be a "godly man" my mother and Granny but I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's a coward under all of that charm. A slimy pitiful coward.
    I shall now step down from my soap box.

    My first husband was like that. He never lifted a finger to do anything around the house. I was working a very stressful job, and our lives were a mess. After the divorce, I remained blissfully single for 25 years until I met an amazing guy. I can honestly say that life is great now. We are equal partners in everything, and we help and build each other up. I had become extremely independent while living alone for such a long time and could never imagine I'd be happy in a LTR. How wrong I was. I'm constantly surprised at how we're practically joined at the hip most of the time. I don't think all men are man-baby's, and it may take time and self reflection to find someone who treats you as an equal. Hang in there, and don't give up your independence just to have a man in your life. It's not worth it!

      I agree that it seems wrong to say anything good about men on this post.
      My husband is wonderful to me. I dominate the kitchen but it is because I like to cook and, to be honest, he’s not very good at it. Outside of that we have a fair democracy, he has his tasks, I have mine..it’s a fair division of labor to keep the house going. He is not really my husband, I think, but my partner in life. I have 100% knowledge of our finances and I don’t ask about our money because I can simply log onto the bank or brokerage accounts and look for myself. There are no secrets between us and he never pressures me to do things I don’t want to do.
      Unfortunately I had to learn that men like this existed the hard way. He is actually my second husband. My first wanted me to cater on him, do the mom thing, and would say things like he forgot where something was when he knew where it was just to make me get it myself…show me who was in charge. He was mentally and physically abusive. I get angry about the years I wasted on him but I just try not to look back but stay in the present.

The rest of the stuff that needs to get done here just falls on strict lines, mostly gender. He has his tasks, I have mine. I am not his mom, but his partner in life. If I was to lose him tomorrow there’s financial securities in place for me, and we have no secrets-particularly financial. He treats me the way I feel a wife (or just anyone) should be treated, with total love and respect. I keep the house and he works and we are both content with the situation.
      The trouble is I learned it all the hard way. This wonderful husband I have is actually my second husband. My first husband expected me to do everything for him and I think, a lot, knew exactly where the soap was but had me get it anyway just to show me who was boss. Because of how I was raised and my beliefs (which are very different now) I played my part. I wasn’t allowed to know anything about our finances and he gave me an allowance, like I was a child, to use at the market, etc. If I tried to speak out he was abusive and literally tried to kill me 3 times because I was able to escape.

    There’s a study showing that men tend to put in more work on the job and slack at home, whereas women tend to slack on the job and put more work in at home. Even Barack Obama has a quote in his book that he and his wife felt like they weren’t doing both their jobs and domestic duties to the fullest degree. Weren’t things a lot simpler with a household division of labor where men went out and worked and women did domestic duties? And if show up and actually do stuff (unlike the two ladies at the apt complex I live in, who gab and goof off but are woefully slow anytime I need anything fixed) throughout 8+ hours, don’t both men and women who do that understand how nice it is to be able to come home to dinner and not have to always do more chores on top of that? Plenty of evidence suggests that even 8 hrs of work is probably a bit off a high stress load and that people might do better at five hrs.

    Unless they just want what you have and don't really care about you. (Edited, since mentioning money is a very sore a subject)
    I think this is a human problem with our laziness. Guys doing it are really pathetic. Women doing it are more understood to be a norm of how relationships work, with having to pay for dates and drinks and generally "be the provider." Well, outside of religious standards where they've convince women to agree to being indentured servants.

      Have you tried joining a hobby group? Maybe you should consider making friends with common interests before you expect a woman agree to a lifetime commitment, mmkay??!

      😅 you're 42??! Dude, I'm 58 and think you are not thinking rationally. Look for common ground before you demand a life commitment

      The problem might be you're wanting younger women. An older man can't provide anything to a younger woman apart from money, hence the sugar daddy comment you've made. Date your own age. Jennie is this video is smart and beautiful. Women like her are a catch. Compared to 23 year old women who are oversized children and immature.
