Would you be okay if your man didn't want you to take care of him?

I feel like a man is there to take care of the woman and not the other way around. How can a man lead and expect a woman's respect if she cooks dinner, does his laundry for him, etc like she's his mother? It just seems weird and like you're treating him like a child.

I would be okay with it

I wouldn't be okay with it

I would prefer it

I agree with you to a point. I think both people in a relationship should take on those responsibilities together. I don’t expect to be taken care of, and I don’t want to be his mother. I want a partnership.

That being said, I do love being treated special, but I also love treating him special. So if you find someone that is wanting to do special things for you, be appreciative and just dish it back out. Instead of feeling emasculated, if that makes sense.

I don’t treat my partner like a child and do everything for him.. I find that dynamic weird too. He’s a full grown man, he doesn’t need to be babied. We share household responsibilities evenly, such as dishes, cooking, laundry, cleaning etc. A relationship should be equal.. not one partner acting as a care giver or parent towards the other partner.
