I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Is it true that what most men want in a marriage is basically their mother? They want someone to take care of them and handle life for them just like their mother did. I've heard this from a lot of women and even some men will admit to it. Men expect women to handle everything for them. Although I can't understand why women don't speak up when their husbands' treat them like that.

I am not sure that is true. I know we split responsibilities, I would hate to be reliant on her for everything and besides I don't think she would do it. We both do things to run the household, we both work so we both have input.

I would hope she would say something and not be a meek little mouse, that's not the person I married

I do like to be made to feel special, who doesn't but I try to do the same for her (because she is to me).

It's definitely not true of all men. In all fairness some women just want to be taken care of.
