What does your husband do to take care of you?

[Anonymous]

You want to be "nurtured"? What are you, five years old? You're an adult. Act like one. Especially you Strong Independent Womyn Who Don't Need A Man for his money or protection. WTF is up with that? If you're strong enough to have a job and shoot intruders by yourself, what do you need "nurturing" for?

Because there is no point in being married if we don't take care of each other.

Thank you. No need for me to deal with rodents because DH does that for me. Thank you DH. And thank you all you people who reminded me that he DOES care for me in this way.

We all need nurturing, I think.

He makes 5-6x as much as I do but is home for dinner every night between 5:30-6.

He's a great dad and gives each of our 3 kids the time and attention they want during the week - taking a huge weight off my shoulders.

He takes care of so many things around the house, sets up appointments (and works from home if needed to deal with service calls).

He does the grocery shopping, takes care of repairs/maintenance on our cars, handles the finances, investments and taxes and tells me all that I want to know regularly.

I have access to his phone/email (and vice versa) so the trust level is incredibly high.

He keeps the romance alive and burning well - takes care of our regular date nights, knows how to order wine (and knows what I like), always makes sure to offer/ask me if I need anything.

He knows how to be open and available with me emotionally - he is confident, sometimes a tad arrogant but his humor is self-deprecating and I just melt at the knees with his laugh

He knows when to make love to me vs when to f*** me - and he is SOOOO OMG GOOD. And I do my best to take care of him as much as he wants.

It is not the man's job to nurture you.

Right, but it is the husband's job.

No, it is not the husband's job to nurture you. His job is to provide and protect.

Protect from what?

And many if not most husbands are co-providers. Given that, it is indeed their job to care for and nurture their wives.

From anything threatening.

And if he doesn't provide more resources to the marriage than the woman, then he's not doing his job.

Under no circumstances is it his job to nurture.

If you want to be nurtured, get yourself a wife.

Like WHAT??? I've been married 18years and never have had to be protected. I grew up on a farm and my daddy taught me how to use a gun as soon as i could walk, but it was more for hunting and in all these years I've mever needed protection as an adult. If i did, I'm a good shot amd its not me who will need protecting.

Why would i want a wife? My DH gives me all I need and the least of that is protection or money. We both work as a financial TEAM. and yes, he nurtures me. He's damn good at it too. I'm a poster up thread. Too much to mention. I'm treated like a spolied princess. No woman will do the stuff he does for me, nor will a woman have a dick, which is the way i like to get done. Big swinging dick+ nurturing= hot.

He should be going down to check the noises in the middle of the night. He should protect you from rodents or spiders or stray cats or whatever creature it is that you do not like. He should protect you from dead animals in the yard. He should protect you from creeps on the street. He should protect you from cars on the street, big crowds, from drinking too much when you are out at a bar.

That sort of stuff.

LOL!!! GOOD ONE! I especially like your bit about stray cats.

"Nurturing" someone is not equivalent to "taking care" of them.

Men take care of women in ways that isn't "nurturing".
