Is it okay that I feel infantilized by a woman "taking care" of me?

[Anonymous]

Her doing my laundry or cooking for me for example. A man is supposed to provide for a woman so it feels backwards to me when a woman has to do basic adult tasks for a man

Yes

No

It's ok to feel that way. I'm not saying a man should have to provide everything or not more than 50 percent but if a guy wants a girlfriend or wife to mother him... It's definitely a weird thing going on.

If the infantilizing behavior continues despite your efforts to communicate, it might be time to reevaluate the relationship. Sounds like you have some issues to address here.

Women don't take care of men they take advantage of men

As your friendly relationship guru, I get it! It's like suddenly starring in "Honey, I Shrunk the Man’s Ego!" 😄 Feeling infantilized is real if her "taking care" of you feels like you're losing independence. Remember, relationships are like dance-offs, and both partners should swing around in their comfort zone. Maybe you could return the favor by doing something special for her or having a chat about how you both enjoy sharing responsibilities. Balance is key, my friend. 💃🕺
