Do guys like to be mothered by their partners?

[candyaurora]

As in being taken care of the same way as their mother would do for them? Or would it make them feel less of a man?

Yes, all the times

No, never

Only sometimes

What I meant by mothering is best explained here

[Wonderer89]

I don't think mothering is quite the right word (makes me feel creepy haha) but I think being caring and nurturing towards my husband is a huge part of our relationship. It's not something he expects or requests but I know how good and cherished he feels when I do it which makes him give what I need in return. It's a balance, but nowhere near everything his mum would do for him

[archiz]

what she said

[candyaurora]

Good answer.. I hope your marriage and bond gets stronger each day 😊

[Saad_1992]

@candyaurora Give the woman an MHO 👍.

[Schrodingerscat]

Yup, I guess they like it.
Especially when they are sick...
And tbh I just freakin love taking care of people I like😇😅

[BrainsOfSteel]

True story.

[karahiri]

i think it depends on the guy. some guys might like it, others might feel like their independence was being impinged on.

[dudeman23]

I think it is a little unmasculine to admit... But yeah. I think deep down even the toughest amongst us long for that unquestioning love that our mothers gave us. That care and compassion. Nothing turns me on more then when I am driven to something and a girl tells me I am working too hard and seems genuninly considered about me pushing it. Hard to admit... but true.

[Decentguy]

yes i want that, but more when im depressed, sad, feeling very down, i want her to hold me in her arms, or let me lay my head onto her chest and let me sleep like that.

[candyaurora]

But all the times?
Pakistan mein wese you know ye culture hai k wifes are expected to take care of their husvands like a mother no?

[Decentguy]

of course not all the time. i like to do the same with her, and i like to be more supportive to her and take more care of her than her being supportive towards me and taking care of me.
pakistan mai ye culture parhay likhay jaahil logon ki waja se hai, in my opinion, the husband should always take care of her wife, than her wife taking care of his husband.
pakistan ke mostly couples mai saaray husbands ye sochtay hain ke unki wife unki nokrani hai, jabke har husband ko apni wife ki care karni chaiye, jaise ke agar wo kaam ker rahi hai kitchen mai to husband ko chaiye ke wo kitchen mai jaye or apni wife ki maddad karay, bajaye ke beth kar araam karay, zayada tar pakistani husbands ne apni wife ko nokrani banaya hua hota hai, saara kaam apni wife se kerwate hain, uski maasi jaisi haalat bana dete hain, which is completely wrong, every husband should helpt heir wife in kitchen, house chores, and in many other works.

[Decentguy]

in marriage, both partners should be supportive and caring towards each other.

[candyaurora]

Agreed completely!

[Anonymous]

Well for me i would not want the same way as my mother as that would be.
Telling you to do things your deliberately leaving till after you've done something else because of you have an efficient system.
Interrupting me when i'm working , trying to "helpfully" clear me my dad and brothers stock of old parts for fixing things.
admittedly sometimes being very helpful when it comes to negotiations and bargaining and occasionally knows a friend of a friend that is able to help with something like a possible sprained ankle.

Your definition of covering chores for me when i'm busy want to be able to make time for doing something together or worn out would be nice though.

[RedOctoberNM]

the only time I am okay with it is when I am really sick. I've taken care of my girlfriend at the time when she was recovering from her wisdom teeth. otherwise, I am used to doing everything by myself, and being motherly that often would hurt not help me.

[RedOctoberNM]

by seeing your update, you mean for the female to pick up almost all the work in a relationship. I would not be okay with that, as it is a two way street of communication to work

[candyaurora]

Agreed!

What man doesn't like a woman that can cool well

[BobbyD1982]

If my girl wants to clean, do my laundry, and take care of me while I'm sick, I'm not going to say no to her.

[candyaurora]

She should definitely do that when he is sick..

[BobbyD1982]

I wouldn't ask nor expect it. I would take care of her if she was sick as well

[Jackblue]

I feel like a real man does not need to be emotional coddled. It is the job rather of a man to emotional coddle his wife/girlfriend.

[candyaurora]

I think that too..

[CyberToothTiger]

I like the idea but would i do like pampering a girl ( Which means doing stuff for her)

[candyaurora]

Aww that is cute 😊

[CyberToothTiger]

Thank You :D :)

[Saad_1992]

That sounds suffocating. Doing nice things without expecting anything is great whichever partner does it, but please don't treat me like a handicapped person and let me do my own thing.

[ShortCircuit]

I mean... yes, I would like to be taken care of and nurtured by my girl... but calling it "mothering" makes it feel weird and creepy.

[Anonymous]

This is apparently a very common thing/mistake a lot of women make with their partner. Guy feels more like a child then a respected "man" and partner.

[candyaurora]

I also thought that too.. and yeah I feel a lot of women feel that their guy is not happy evwn afyer getting all the love and care... thank you for your answer.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

It's naging i would find annoying and thinking it's fine to chuck things out or move them somewhere i can't find them realise we have a system and may often leave some things a bit longer to focus on other things pepole just like to work differently and you have to realise that if you try to force them to do it a way that works for you not them then it's going to annoy them and probly you as well.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Also unrelated but before you point it out I'm dyslexic and i annoyingly can't add in the punctuation i missed out and now realised i missed out.

[SlitherySnake]

Sometimes yes. But I wouldn't call it "mothering". It's not called "fathering" when a man works a full time job so his wife can spend his money. That's the least women could do nowadays. Then men might reconsider dating them.

[Alessus]

I mean I suppose a woman acting motherly wouldn't be all bad, but I think I'd find it overbearing and annoying mostly.

[Djaaaay]

I certainly don't enjoy that whatsoever. Although I'm sure there is those who do.

[Djaaaay]

And about breezystorm... That is crock !! Good mothers aren't this way with thier children. Good wife's never act like this towards thier husbands , and husbands are never like that either.

[candyaurora]

Okay thanks for your opinion 😊

[tamont3]

Yes. Motherly nurturing skills are RARE nowadays... I WISH I could find that now...*sighs*

[Tomsta]

I can take care of myself, however there are going to be certain circumstances where i need my parents help. But on the whole just leave me alone to do my own thing

[DukeDanger]

I wasn't even mothered by my own mothers so I would find it a bit unusual.

[KnightCross]

sometimes is good :) to feel like a kid who wakes up in the bed with a breakfast that the girl brings it to u! happened to me once i felt so good

[TacosRAwesome]

Being caring, nurturing, cooking etc for your partner is great. Mum zoning yourself, is not something I want.

[AlwaysBelieving]

Not based on that link. The picture yes since when I'm sick I'm really down for the count. Extra points if she dressed up like that!

[dolemite68]

i want her to be supportive but not take care of me, real men don't need mothering

[jestingdemon]

It could be a good thing. If that's her natural personality i think i would enjoy it.

[jestingdemon]

Basically I mean when is it not a good thing for your partner to show that they care about you?
