i once read a story. yes, as a gentleman, a guy is required to take initiative. i don't believe that in all cases, the guy simply gives and gives and gets nothing in return. quoting an article "to guys- get her flowers occasionally, remember her birthdays and surprise her on special occasions, and always remember the two magic words- "thank you" and "i'm sorry". doing little things like these wil reap you great returns. if you treat your wife well, she in turn, will bear you adorable children, manage the household and make sure u come home to the warmth of a family. maybe when u are working through the night, she waits up in the living room for u and gives u an endearing hug when u return. she heats up a bowl of soup she prepared specially for u. when u are tired, she will give u a massage. when u are down and out and your friends have walked out on u, she will stay by you. when u are poor, she shares her savings with u. when u are rich, she is proud to be the woman behind a successful man. to most women, a successful marriage is the most fulfilling life. a women can give her all for her marriage. whereas for guys, he might place career first, then maybe his children, or friends, or even football and fast cars, and babes." of course there are many cases where the women expects too much. its just a matter of perception.
1) not all men wan kids.
2) working women don't want to do household, they think guys marry them for free maid
3) there is something call the maid
4) with reference to no.2, they won't make soup nor massage you.
having kids is a 2way thing. the happiness and effort is shared by both, while remembering impt dates, presents and gestures is 1 sided. Most guys keep it in their stride, because they love their gf/wife. but as for the other way round, shouldn't the gf/wife be a little more understanding the financial and mental strain when guys fails to do so rather than displaying temper or mood swings?
Agreed that she will not leave you when your friends do, she will share her savings when you'r poor. But this is quite impractical when both happens in the same couple.
this is the 21st century, not all women do housework, wait for husband come home, take care kids. Most women are working, and i prefer it that way, because it keeps them away from thinking too much.
