[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do women who do the vast majority of the housework, childcare, life management, etc. for their grown ass husbands who behave like entitled man children ever feel attracted to them enough again to want to suck them off or do anything really sexy with them?

That's the mental block for me. I 'get' that we women are socially conditioned to be caregivers and to acquiesce more than we demand, but every relationship I ever had I thought that role was nice for like . . . ten minutes, then I began to resent all the leisure time he had purchased by my labor both physical and emotional and I would soon begin to find him more than a little . . . repulsive.

I guess this is patriarchy, but I'm one of the women who doesn't feel compelled to accept it. I'm not saying my life is one long carefree picnic because it's not - it can be SO much harder to be a single woman standing on her own two feet with no support from a spouse or former spouse - but I love that I haven't been anybody's house servant for any portion of my adult life.

OP here. It’s so odd to me that you consider taking care of your family as being a house servant. What a weird way to shame women for wanting to take care of their family.

I’m not a house servant. I enjoy taking care of my family. I love my husband and I don’t see him as a man child. I see him as a loving husband and provider who works really hard so we can afford for me to work less and be able to stay at home. I haven’t always done all of the house stuff. My husband was an equal partner in that but has put in more hours with a new job to allow us to live the way we do.

I have immense respect for my husband. My job isn’t easy but neither is he. He works very hard to bring in the money he does so that I can live comfortably. I find him super sexy and handsome.  He is stable, reliable, respectful, funny, and loves me for me.

You can view it as a house servant. I view it as a loving wife working with my husband to make our life the best as possible.

I’m a nurturer. I like my job but I always wanted to be a wife and mom above all else. [/quote]
