Do you like to be babied and nurtured by your partner?

[lightbulb27]

We all have an inner child inside.

Gentle and rough massage can be very relaxing

One thing I enjoy with my girlfriend is nurturing her and when she nurtures me. It's loving. I can lay down in her lap and she caresses and do the same for her, gently rubbing her hair, face. It's comforting, relaxing. Communication is more calm. I don't find my too old, makes me feel young.

Is this something you do? Something you want in relationship?

Do you think people over 60 want this or they are too old?

I like to be nurtured when I need it, like if I'm sick or if something bad happens. My wife is a hair stylist and I like it when she cuts my hair. I like it when she makes dinner. But I hate being babied or hovered over.
I often nurture her, too. She likes massages and being cared for.

[lightbulb27]

you've differentiated babied and nurtured. so what is babied that you hate and any idea why?

[Lliam]

I don't know. Even when I was very, very young I hated being mothered and treated like a child.
I remember being probably three years old and getting my first pair or roller skates - plastic ones that clamped to my shoes. My parents took me to the sidewalk to try them out. My mom was holding me to make sure I didn't fall and hurt myself. I brushed her way, saying "I can do it. I can do it" and promptly fell on my ass. But I got right back up and skated.

I don't want to be treated like I'm helpless, to have someone constantly hoovering, pampering, worrying, looking after me, warning me to be careful. It would feel creepy, clingy and claustrophobic. I'd say "Get a life." The thought actually makes me cringe enough to kind of piss me off. I need independence. I want to be admired by my wife for being a competent man.
Maybe it's because my mom was a bit overprotective.

None of this is to say that being nurtured isn't nice. But there's a differences. Being met at the door with a bright smile and a kiss is nurturing.

Never had a partner, but yeah, I think I'd like that.

I’d say what you’re saying is more showing affection than nurturing. But yes, I love my husband and myself to express affection towards one another

[lightbulb27]

what's your definition of nurturing?

[Opinion Owner]

Sort of how I’d nurture my children. However, I’d hate for me or my husband to be nurturing to each other in a parent-child way

[lightbulb27]

yea, it's more fun snuggle time but focused on one.

I like to be equals with my partner. Sometimes she wants to be babied and nurtured, and sometimes she wants to be independent and left alone. I'm the same way. We both support and respect each other for that.
