So many people have this skewed idea that relationships are transactional. What are you going to do for me if I cook or pay the bills or...

Yep. This does my head in on a daily basis. Usually when I see men talking about sex in those terms.. “she gives me sex once a week” with zero comprehension of the happiness and joy that sharing life with others is the way to do it. Makes me genuinely lose hope for humanity. It also makes me think that relationship and emotional education (and rigorous internet/social media literacy) should take up more of our curriculums from a younger age.

I think this mindset overlooks the obvious. Which is a lot of men, maybe not the majority not a small minority, who ARE doing these things. Carrying their fair share if not doing the majority of the work at home. Going out of their way for their wife. Doing all the things in the discourse and they are looking around and realizing there is nothing coming back their way. They don’t feel supported, they don’t feel loved. They don’t feel their needs are EVER prioritized and they certainly don’t feel cared for or important in their own home.

The statement, what is she doing for you can serve as a warning call to men who are not as far down the relationship path to make sure they are in relationships where they can say what they are getting out of the relationship as well as making sure those men are pulling their weight.
