Pampered? No, but that would feel weird to me.
Appreciated? Yes.
I happen to have a man who cooks (sometimes) and cleans and does laundry and ironing. In truth, he makes a better housewife than I do. We've both played that role.
I'm just sayin' there ARE men out there that have style and cook and clean...and aren't gay...at least I think he's not gay...I hope not, since he married me...
He does make my life easier. He changes my oil and finds boxes for packages I have been procrastinating sending and he cooks with me and puts stuff away after me in the kitchen (and always does the dishes). He helps plan trips and fixes stuff that gets broken. He washes my car. Yep. He makes life easier, for sure.
I have met a lot of women that feel resentful, too. In fact, I don't know of any other men that are as helpful and participatory in house and cleaning stuff as my H.
Hmm. I should prolly tell him again how fab he is.
