A lot of women have been raised to believe that the man's role is to cater to the mother / wife's needs / wants and to not have any needs or wants of their own. It led to the whole - treat her like a Princess / Queen mentality or the Happy Wife Happy Life slogan / syndrome. I think it was feminist backlash to the men have power so it was switched around to women are royalty and men are their wives servants attitude. So for people with that mindset - a man sleeping when exhausted rather than being in 'yes, dear, whatever you want dear' mode is the ultimate betrayal because that isn't how you as a lowly employee would ever treat royalty. It is a power imbalance dynamic issue that leads to hurt and anger when the man doesn't below his 'role'.[/quote]

And mothers can have wants/needs of their own? I completely disagree. My DH treats me very very well, but he definitely is not a "yes, dear" man, and I think spouses should cater to each other's needs as much as possible. Not as servants, of course. And it is so so difficult with children, I get that. I live that.  [/quote]
