I feel that, after hearing stories about how young girls take such advantage of the boys they date, boys nowadays are wrapped up in cotton wool; therefore, they're not allowed the opportunity to row up.
A female friend, the closest woman I ever had to a girlfriend, looks after her Autistic brother - who's now 40 - and keeps saying, "He can't look after himself! So, he can't!" Well, he was never given the opportunity to make adult decisions. I felt that was the same with my gran; although my brother was given more opportunity to be independent once he went to Tech. Most of it stems from women's obsession with 'The Family Name'. Also, women don't have a healthy way of dealing with grief; my female friend's father died of cancer, and an aunt of hers died of Covid last winter; the aunt's husband died soon after.
Also, I said I wasn't taking the vaccine, and her response was, "DO AS I SAY!" Now, she's making nachos for my dinner tomorrow; which I'll collect, then heat up. I'm worried what she might say. But I'll play by ear.
I can cope with the housework, on my own, but haven't a scooby about money-management; mainly because my income is so low.
