More like a father than a husband? Let me count the ways!
Scolding. Nagging. Motivating. Caretaking. Reminding. Trying to "teach" her to responsible with things like being on time, staying in touch with friends and family, living a productive life.
It's really #$!@#%$ up. And not very romantic. How attractive is a parental figure?!? It defines dysfuctional, but that is EXACTLY what happens, and it is no way to live.
I look at people with "normal" wives who have their lives together, and I honestly have no idea what that would be like. Yikes.
