ARE YOU MARRIED TO A MAN-BABY? IT’S KILLING YOUR SEX LIFE

Are you – or someone you know – married to a man-baby? Man-babies are guys who have no skills to get along in the adult world. They can’t cook, they can’t clean, they can’t manage their finances. Their partners are taking care of everything for them. And ladies, if you’re co-habitating with one, chances are they’re ruining your sex life. A recent study, published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour journal, found that not only do man-babies exist, but they’re killing women’s libidos with their ineptitude. Researchers from universities in Canada and Australia set out to explore if this kind of relationship unfairness explains why many women report a low sex drive. And it does. The study found when women perform more household labor than their partner, they tend to see them like a dependent child. This can lead to “human giver syndrome” – leaving its sufferer emotionally depleted and resentful of their partner. This reduces their sexual desire for that person.
– One example, from a woman named Lianne: “Our sex drive completely died after six months of living together. I couldn’t take him seriously anymore and resented my role in our relationship. I felt like his mom.”
– Another: Annie, 22, moved in with her boyfriend at the beginning of the year. She discovered that not only does he play video games until the early hours of the morning, but he’s incapable of doing chores. To make matters worse, he doesn’t take criticism well. She says, “I still care about him and love him, but I feel it less. I can feel myself pulling away.”
The obvious solution, according to the study: Men should take on an equitable share of household labor, planning social events and dealing with the children. Men also need to encourage these changes among other men. This will make for more equitable relationships. With the added potential bonus of improved sexual experiences.”
* But, god forbid, you should leave the house to hang out with other men to get this man-boosting behavior from other guys.
* Uhh … wouldn’t you notice early in the relationship that he hadn’t cleaned his bathroom in years and the kitchen’s full of dirty dishes?
* So, maybe, start a men-only phone tree: “Hi, Frank. Did you remember to get the dust bunnies out from under the bed this morning? Don’t worry, I can talk you through it.”
* Some of you guys might want to see if you can get off early today to do some laundry.
* Ladies, you’re looking fro the wrong kind of help. If you ever need help, in any way, with a video game, your guy has your back. Count on it.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, how much of a man-baby is your fella? Or is he an ex-fella? When did you realize you had to totally take care of this guy?
