Re: why do men need to be taken care of?
good that you give the disclaimer.
men do not need to be taken care of, i think. they need nothing as a mattr of fact other than a straight forward run down of things.
i say this because, i feel men's attention span is very little and
they say one thing and mean another, so they must first determine what they want to state and to whom and is it really what they want.
so, with cooperation, they can be assured of independent yet interdependent
existence.
for a guy to love and respect his Mom or parents is respectable, but he must also be able to live up to his promise as an adult to another adult human being.
wife's role is very responsible
not greater than Mom's sure, but nonetheless important as a supportive life-partner and the spice of life, he used to say too, is in at times, having differences.
not huge relationship destrutive differences, due to misgivings - but differences that are respectably handled.
greatness is not in letting down, but in picking up where things are left off between a spouse.
since i am not a spouse yet, i do know that i am limited in my hypothetical statements here.
but, my observation, and sensibility will have me safely say - that empower men, not weaken them, once they have nobly become spouses.
that is why wives are called 'better halves".
First his mom takes care of him.
then 25-30 years later she tells his wife, take good care of my son.
seriously, do men really need to be taken care of that much?
like they need someone mom/wife to steer them in the proper direction all their life? they need mom/wife to "psycho" them to make them understand wats good for them? they need mom/wife to prepare their meals/clothes etc so they feel loved?
u know this whole thing makes me think that men will go astray in the worst possible ways if moms/wives fail to "take care" of them. honestly!!!!! men in reality are THAT weak?????
All ye gud ppl of GS, Plzz enlighten me!
PS: THIS IS NOT A MALE BASHING THREAD.
