Do you ever just want someone to take care of you for once?

[jennifer_bloom]

I think expecting to be taken care of is dangerous cause usually the person taking care of you will either turn abusive cause they think they are doing all the work in the relationship or they will dump you for somebody who is less work to live with - exceptions are if you have an illness or injury through no fault of your own - some partners can stay loyal to a disabled person if they know the disability was not their fault

I don't think I would know how to handle it. The good thing about sorting out/fixing your own problems is it builds a special kind of endurance.
You'll get the point where pretty much nothing will throw you and you will auromatically know that you WILL somehow get through it (even if you don't know exactly how).

I think sometimes we dont know how to achieve the ultimate relationship Evetything is looked at as time When should you text or phone How long before w should become sexual How long should it last etc etc We need to go back to the respectful side and romance each other so yes w all want to be looked after and feel loved but society in respect of dating seems to have lost its way

Not , me , no. Too used to running the show , been a FT working single dad for years now. After the marriage I endured & also being introvert & have little need for people , will be staying single. I simply have no need , or desire to be taken care of.

[JackSmy]

No, NEVER!! I earn my way, and work for what I have! I don't want someone taking care of me, as I am a MAN, and it is EXPECTED, that men work, and earn their way!!

Every time I think about it, I remember how bad of a job my OG caretakers did. I can give myself everything I need and want. I'm down for a team mate but I don't need a tyrant lol.

If you had been a little bit nicer when you were young and looked your best, you could have had any man you wanted. "Resting bitch face" has doomed an entire generation of women to dying alone.

[angelgirl7]

I completely understand. 24, always been single. I'm okay with it for the most part but it would be nice to be held and comforted for once, to be reassured that everything is going to be okay.

[postempestas]

Sometimes I wish I had someone who cared about me enough to come see me anytime I would need... That would be so precious.

[J2ohhhhh]

My mome was already a feminist when people back in her country were busy fighting communism so somehow she indoctrinated me to hate to be taken care of. It just really annoys me.

[El_Dorado]

Hi. Don't worry. Beeing single is totally normal. As long as you have friends, it's enough (in my opinion)

[OmNomaly]

I have never been in a relationship where I was taken care of.
So, yes absolutely. It would be nice to be genuinely loved by someone else.

[zagor]

It is obvious from the answers below that you need to define "take care of" in a clearer manner. Some seem to interpret it as someone to pay all your expenses and handle all problems while you eat bonbons on the couch. If that is what you mean then forget it.

If you mean a partner you can trust and rely on and who has your back, and who helps you get through the trials and crises of life, then yes.

[Saville_Row]

I feel you. Also have been single all my life, and is especially difficult when your family is tough, and you have to pull yourself together in difficult times. You get kind of used to it.

[FictionalCharacter]

I’m already taken care of. I just crave for intimacy and protection.

[Levin]

Affection, touch and cuddling more than anything. Yes, this year has been tough to be single.

[BCRanger10]

I remember feeling that way at one point. Why was this year so difficult for you?

[Agape93]

No, that would make me feel guilty and boost my anxiety

[serious]

No. Of course not. I don't need a woman in my life. I don't need love to survive. I am 33 and have always been single, a virgin and I wish to remain single for life.

I don't need anyone or that someone to care of me.

[red_knight]

I agree, if always been there for people, friends or family, even the women I dated, i need to be a priority for once in my life.

This year was a hard, too hard. I'm so glad its ending

[Phoenix98]

Yeah.

I'd be nice to just not have to worry about anything for a day.

[kitty71]

You are 28 and im 49 and I had always been the person in your post. I never had been taken care by a guy ever ever in my life so imagine how I must feel,

[Dchrls78104]

Yes. I'd like to have someone in my life for a companion. But just try to find someone worth the time!

[michael1469]

Fuck ya i do and when i do i am the most happy. I am relieved so much i am able to relax enough to listen to thier needs and try to take care of them with them not even asking.
