Always asked or told to do something different

Quoted loosely from Lonesome Dove" about Jake Spoon. "Jake's just being Jake. It's a full-time job and he needs a woman to help him do it."

I am convinced that many men, especially those of older generations, are blind to the things thought of as "women's work." They only become aware of it in its absence. If there are clean clothes and hot food and shiny floors, they think little of it and simply can't conceive that it absorbed time and energy and thought and planning.

Ergo, a woman should be at their beck and call because otherwise she's just curled up on the couch eating bonbons.

Yeah exactly why cant i just sit here and cuddle my dog.. why do i have to go make breakfast and coffee and lunch and dinner and dishes and serve snacks and whatever.. what the hell

You get married thinking you'll be treated like a princess forever but no they act like they bought themselves a maid and housekeeping service or a mom they can boss around! 😂 fml

I should stay silent because my spouse can relate to your scenario.

No, but I've experienced about every of a partner's needs or wants clearly being more important to them than any of mine.

Yes. Very frequently. It always makes me feel like he thinks that his time is more valuable than mine.

That’s a man who can’t even wipe his own ass. He’s looking for a mother not a partner.

Won't happen here. The missus knows this.

Oh yes. Where understanding comes in. Takes years
