I’m a millennial and love my strong, capable wife. But we do this every day (I try to not solutionize, but man, it’s hard to know when “solve the problem” is off the table ahead of time). It’s not limited by gender I assume.
Men; on average are more conscientious, while women; on average, are more open to new experiences. Best advice I’ve had (and possibly backed by research into the climbing divorce rates) is that we have fundamentally different needs. Rather than applying the Golden Rule we should strive to understand our partners unique needs.
While there are gender differences they’re only significant at a macro level. In a room full of individuals there’s no telling who will be most conscientious or empathetic. The meme checks out tho.
Oh I didn’t mean this wasn’t a thing, I meant this comic kind of has a “wife bad” undertone.
The original comic was making fun of dogs because they wanted you to throw the Frisbee but they won’t give you the Frisbee, illustrating a cute but kind of stupid behavior of dogs.
By using the same format for his wife I was interpreting this as “haha wife dumb” when this is reasonable behavior for the wife.
Gay dude here. No, not limited by gender. I have to put great effort into not providing solutions when they aren’t wanted. This most often manifests as me realizing I was doing it and verbally acknowledging I lost the plot and encouraging my spouse to continue.
