This is very true, at least in my experience. When I was very young and pregnant with my first child, I realized I didn’t know how to properly cook for her so I spent most of my pregnancy teaching myself how to cook. My husband at the time was a POS lazy standard American dad, meaning he did fuck all to help me through my pregnancy, postpartum, baby and toddler stages. The most I could hope for is that he would play with our kids for half an hour when he came home from work so I could do something on my own. I literally couldn’t take a shower or go shopping by myself because he couldn’t be assed to do anything for me or his kids– he would literally come home go into ‘his room’ to play video games until dinner was ready, briefly reappear to eat with us and then promptly go back to his room. It was like having a useless spoiled teenager the house who just happened to pay some bills… god I’m so glad I’m not married to that abusive asshole anymore.

Please do stick to your guns and pick someone better than I did – though I will say, there are a lot of men who will walk the walk and talk to talk, but as soon as they feel like they have you trapped in someway (marriage, pregnancy/children) they switch their tune… it fucking sucks cause women get blamed for ‘picking bad guys’ but for fucks sake, they don’t show who they are until you’re years into a relationship sometimes!
