Hello ladies 🙂

I saw a woman this morning who is married to a man that is dependent on her for everything....she has no children and i think he may be her substitute child? He is able bodied but expects her to *look after him* as she would a kid. If he has a headache, he waits for her to remind him to take a headache tablet lol

Do any any of you ladies like to be in a relationship like this or would the thought of it turn your stomach?

Personally, i prefer a strong man that can look after himself, even though i enjoy giving, there is something weird about having a man in your life who you feel the need to treat like a baby

I saw my mother do it for my Dad......

Not for me ~ it has to be equal. I love being a mum but not to a grown man

Anyone?

*~x~*

So he's just being lazy then?? No!! Wouldn't be with a man like that.

I may baby someone for whatever reasons..but I wouldn't be in a relationship with such person no! I don't think I can respect slothfulness.
Yes Teena, i think so

I was on a trip away with my parents once and i saw my mother pour cereal into a bowl, then the milk for my father...i mean really?

I would do that if he's busy doing something else /is in a hurry/ is ill/ just not in a mood for once. But not if he just decided to be lazy forever.

He treats her home like a hotel and she's the servant, a maid, a possible broodmare. It reminds me of all the married women who provide structure and live like a single parent where their husband is an infantile dependent.


She is to blame for tolerating that......I wouldn't, in a heartbeat


Definitely not, it's like expecting a positive return from nurturing a trashcan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes indeed

Are you a Scorp too?

Does he have a job, the headache tablet guy?
*Headache tablet guy* ?
Lol at Headache tablet guy

Yes, he is a very talented artist....not exactly taxing physical work though, is it?

Mentally and emotionally exhausting.

Hey if it works for them then god bless. I prefer to be with someone a little more independent myself.

Lol so?

I think that's quite nice and vice versa.

Unless she's bathing him or wiping him... Gross.

I prefer relationships where it's okay to take care of each other.

I'm super protective and nurturing, I'll take care of my parents, my siblings, my nephews and my boyfriend - instinctively.

It's a form of love.

But it wasn't vice versa, it was a one way street.....

Mothers are often to blame though.....raising their sons to be dependent on them and then as my mother used to say *making a rod for some other women's back*


Lol! I was thinking the same. These must be Mama's boys.

I can see them at our lad's school.....not shown how to do anything



It is kind of cruel in a way.....not preparing a kid for the outside world and it's also a form of control to keep them babied

Ugh

Must be a Capricorn only sign I know that would do stiuff like that.
Yes! My mother was a Cappy and dad an Aries

Lol


The cap female I went out with tried to do that to me quite too often I told her stop acting like a mom she got offended.

That is very interesting 🙂

My mother tried to smother all of us....dad, sister and me....she had no chance with her daughters, but with her husband she succeeded. He couldn't even cook a meal, or look after himself after she passed....very sad and very selfish of her actually

If you choose to go out with a bum then you deserve to do everything for him/her.
Not necessarily a bum....some people are just happy to be babied and rely on the other too much
I'm referring to people who take advantage of other people.

Oh right, yes i see...that is not good

I didn't miss the point... 😕

I just didn't think that was a relevant babying behavior... ( the cereal )

That stood out to me and I expressed my opinion about it. That's all. 🙂

It's okay love....the cereal was just the tip of the ice-berg lol, believe me, this was a grown man being babied with a capital B

In that case I would loose all attraction for him. He needs to be able to stand on him own. I want to be in a team where we would help each other but if it's one sided then you're not a team anymore.

Well he was an Aries man that never allowed himself to grow up.......he chose the path of the everlasting child and my mother supported him on that

She always used to say to us *it's up to the woman to show men the way*

lol

The good thing is, i didn't take the same path......

I get it 🙂

I didn't think that was much either but I thought I'll base my opinion on the original post. This might have just been one scenario she could think of .Obviously she might have seen more of what happened there or her dad's behavior in general.

Smh pouring milk on someone isn't babying doing his/her laundry or cleaning after his/her mess everyday is.
She did all that ^^^ and more....the cereal story was one example....it made him look like he was a child in a public place


In a public setting that's a big NO yea he's a manchild.

As i said before, Evo, it was in a hotel......manchild for sure

Very silly...

I'm guessing she must have liked it somehow and he must have too because why else would you put up with it. I have a cap colleague at work. She is the alpha in the relationship but then she complains about her husband that he is so hopeless but I think she secretly likes to do it. Or maybe it's just a control things. 😛

Yes indeed.....control is the key word ...and yes in a perverse kind of way pleasurable

...and that is what i was trying to say

I also think it is a poor way to raise daughters seeing their mother treating a man this way.....

And maybe he knew that your mother wold Love to do that for him and he just let her do it..?

Maybe in some way..he understood her and let her do things in a way that wold please her...instinctively...

Do you even know how much cap women (generaly) Love to have total control?

I wonder if you ever understood your parents and their own chemistry...

Kinda sad to realise that maybe you didnt...and in the end you could only see what in your eyes was the *dark side*...

This is where we both differ Scorpio...we are both from Mars...buth you also got that Pluto right?..

Were you saw *Evil*...i saw Love...
click to expand

Evil? Lol

I think anyone who tries to take away anyone's independence is somewhat foolish and cruel in a way. He was rendered completely helpless and unable to look after himself properly when she passed away...she spoiled him......literally

Is that love?

Total control is never good.....not loving or for the good of the other person

My mothers attempted control over my sis and I caused us both to rebel ....

Control freaks are not what love is about

Helping others to become the best of themselves is what love is about

Babying? I thought you were talking about some fetish or something 😄!

Do you use the term as serving? Didn't that use to be the normal behaviour of a wife? Of our mothers?

I do "baby" my man sometimes with pet names, cute gestures and even feeding him fruit, because I like it. I even serve him cooked food on the table! But...I would never live with a man who does not take his turn in doing these things for me.
