Well - you're right, I'm not married.

Quote:
Wives and girlfriends do not and should not chew humble pie. Our job is to make their lives easier. Period. Maybe you should get out a little bit more.


As a female I find this attitude to be both charming and repulsive. Charming in that you obviously want to take care of women and charish them. Repulsive in that it also goes some distance in infantilizing women as people who NEED to be taken care of as opposed to human beings who can, indeed, suck it up and get on with it. I wouldn't expect anyone to put it to their spouse in the blunt fashion that I did, but the end effect should be the same - a team effort. You both help yourselves and you both help one another.

Then again - I've never claimed to have shining people skills. I have very little patience with those who develop, as a personality trait (not talking about disability here) the aura of "Helplessness" and expect to be Done for.

No need to get personal.
