Behind excessive care from women sometimes lies a desire to control their partner. When care becomes too intrusive, even the most pleasant gestures can cause discomfort. A man may feel that he is being perceived as a child, incapable of handling simple tasks.
Care as a Way to Control
Experts note that women become 'mommies' for various reasons, but one of the main ones is the need to control their partner. Overbearing care can be a hidden form of power, where a woman tries to restore a sense of stability and confidence in the relationship.
Setting Boundaries
The solution begins with direct communication: it is important to honestly express what exactly causes discomfort. One conversation may not be enough — it is important to reiterate boundaries and act consistently.
For example, if a partner says, 'Put on your jacket, or you'll get cold,' one can politely but firmly respond, 'No, thank you, I'm not cold.' It is also useful to analyze one's own behavior and understand why the habits of the other half provoke a reaction.
If conversations and requests do not help and the situation does not change, sometimes the only way out may be to end the relationship.
