Once married or in a serious relationship, you will find a great difference in some of the actions and personalities of men and women. It will not take long to learn what inspired the idea for the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. There is no hiding that men and women see some things differently.
The same goes with how men and women treat their partners in a relationship.
I think that there was once a country song about babying your baby. If I am correct the song referred to the man babying the woman. However, in most cases I believe that it is the male that receives the babying.
I am guilty of babying. I not only baby my husband but also my children.
I think that a lot of women baby their men. I feel that it is in a woman’s nature to want to be the caretaker. She tends to give out more sympathy and more comfort than her partner. She wants ot make others feel better and make every okay.
Women can baby their spouses without being taken advantage of. If she enjoys taking care of him and doing things for him then there is no reason why she should not. However, with some men, the babying can get out of control. They tend to expect certain things and think of it as more of something that they deserve instead of an act of love from their wives. The appreciation gets lost in the shuffle.
Giving him a little extra attention every now and then and acknowledging his bad day can be just what he needs to boost his ego and pamper his spirit. Yet in a healthy relationship, you too should get your share of the comfort. I think that as long as it works two ways, anything goes!
