Guys, do you sometimes feel like you are a father instead of a husband?

A bit uncanny, eh?

This question is NOT aimed at older men who marry younger women. I am talking to men who are married or in a relationship with a woman who is in your age range.

My wife is a very intelligent woman and I love her dearly but. . . there are times when my wife does things that seem to be so naive or uninformed that it feels like she is a little girl instead of a 62 year old woman. I still respect her, but this experience elicits a paternal, protective response and I wonder if this is how fatherhood feels. Or, sometimes, she will do things that seem so shallow that they are completely transparent (e. g., she suggests what I drive us in her car to dinner, and of course I notice her gas tank is almost empty, so I stop and put gas in her car.) It's like a little girl buying her daddy a barbie doll for Christmas!

Do any of you guys ever have that experience with your wife or long term partner?
