Thanks for responding to my post Marriedanconfused, with what you added I think your husband would prefer being mothered and have a wife that worked and payed the bills etc. while he could be a bit of a child that stayed home with the children. Well, some men are like that and prefer to have the woman go out and work for everything. I have noticed that, and often outgoing professional women can attract this kind of man unknowingly too. Hmm, guess he wants to be mothered. Just out of curiosity what was his relationship with his mother?
