Women are not here to make sure you have food on the dinner table when you get home, what the hell is wrong with your hands? Do they not work? Are you "special" to the point you can't cook dinner?
I don't get it either. I guess some men had their hands held and their behinds wiped by their mothers until they left home. They expect their wives and girlfriends to do the same.
Men expect so much now. They expect a wife who is thin, an immaculate house, gourmet dinners, and don't forget to make $75,000 a year or more. I was taking medication to be that perfect...and it still was not good enough. Getting a divorce was freeing for me.

My husband's mom did everything for him. I guess I don't see how that is his fault. A wee bit of setting limits mixed with a lot of love and understanding and... voila, mature, capable man. When you enter a relationship, each of you has to do a little expectation management. No two people come together with the exact same set of expectations.
One can have a very strong family commitment without being Mrs FetchandCarry. Sometimes doing for someone is best done by letting them do it for themselves.
???????
I have no idea why the response. What does it have to do with the part I wrote and you respond. Please clarify. All I can say is the you read more to it that what I stated. All I ask you please clarify. Take care.

Good for you for having the courage to leave. Sounds like a life of servitude and stress.

I was commenting on your strong family commitment comment. It made me think that some people think that mom doing for the others in the family is the right way to take care of them, to be committed to the family. I think that a Mom can be every bit as committed to her family without being the do all that the OP was talking about.

Thanks for the clarification, however, as I said, it had nothing to do with what I said before so it still does not apply. Perhaps you have defensive attitude in some form that anything that others may say make you read to much into what it is said. Take care.

What? You made a comment that triggered a thought. I think you don't understand what I am saying. I am not arguing or criticizing but making a comment based on something you said.

Ok, what comment triggered your thought? Can you be specific? To me your comment came out of left field. So what did I say? I did not take your comment as being negative, just that I was confused how it connects to what I wrote so, what was it that I said that you based your comment on? Take care.

The phrase "strong family commitment". Nothing more. I am sorry I was unclear.
