Men tend to be honest with each other, even if it means pissing them off. Wives get very defensive when their husbands are honest or complain and throw tantrums like a little girl. If they treated them like men the woman could either accept she is being treated as an equal and deal with it or get bitter and hurt and cry about it.Woman act as if once married the mans needs mean nothing and thats the facts. Now maybe 20 years ago that wasn't true, but it is today.
I expect to be treated like a lady.
Or princess, or a diva or a goddess or like their daughter or like a man. It all depends on your mood for that day or that hour.
No I expect to be treated like a lady ALWAYS. I'm sorry you've never encountered such a woman. I don't know where you're meeting women who believe that once married a man means nothing but I'm sure not one of them. I look forward to taking care of my man and tending to his needs FIRST. If that sounds strange, it's more sad and pitiful than anything else.
