Stop Calling Women Nags — How Emotional Labor is Dragging Down Gender Equality

I never knew this, from tracing to Germany with no discussion,

I lived with the rigidly of a partner who was critical of my every

move or non move. Asking for help when it is clearly needed ,

was part and parcel of ” marriage ” to an under developed

emotionally stuck man child . I realized he wasn’t meeting

in the middle. He worked outside the home and that’s all he

had to do. Taking a road job he was away 3 days a week,

in order to dodge responsibility ..

Sadly , many adult men were ” sheltered ” in the model of

trauma bond with mom, ” matured ” socially , but from

birth has had less emotionally grounding /bonding with

Mom, and need and deserve it ..The interactions of parents

can very will imprint the male child with fear of emotions

watching Mom treated like a servant..

Gifts were seldom a surprise , request circumvented his either

ignoring the event , or a gift that had no rhythm or rhyme .

Adult men seldom transform this naturally, many

beaten into submission by a spouse who threatens

using kids as leverage .. a huge mistake , for

seldom does a man romance or honor a woman

wife who ” mothers ” him.. the nurture of each

should be the bridge ..

The unpaid job men still don’t understand.
