Is it unmanly?

Question

Is it unmanly if when I get home from work, I cook dinner and do house chores like laundry?? My wife can't cook very well, and she gets tired after coming home from working late hours at home depot. My co worker keeps riding my *** for doing so, saying things like I'm whup and I'm sick and tired of it!.

Answer 1

it aint a problem unless you have a problem with it. its your life. i would no longer discuss my home life with a bunch of jerks like that. if the truth was known they either help out more than they care to admit or their wife anit as happy and thankful as yours is!

Answer 2

Who says it's only a woman's job to do housework anyway.

The same idiots who say that it is wrong for you to help with housework might just look back into in time, even just as far as the fifties and see that it was once considered unmanly to have your wife working outside the house.

So, if your wife is working, then what is possibly wrong with you doing your share of things around the house?

It takes a real man to step up and take responsibility for what part he can play in keeping his marriage running well.

Heck, tell those coworkers to wise up, since your wife has energy left at the end of the night to play with you since you do help.

Answer 3

Your co worker is calling you that cuz you are a woman dream!! He is jealous that he dont have the respect for his partner that you do for you. Dont change, she will love ya to death. You are a one of a kind, You should be proud. What would be "unmanly" is if you stopped helping your wife cuz some dink coworker calls you childish names. Hey tell him this next time, " well you might think I am a whup but I bet I get laid more than you". But seriously your a great man! Keep up the great job.

Answer 4

No. Please. My husband and I both get up at 6 am. He works 7 am - 3 pm. His job is literally 5 minutes from our house, and he doesn't have to take the kids to school or camp in the morning. I work 8:30 - 5 but I have to take get the kids up and get moving by 7 also, but then I have to drive 15 to drop them off, then back track and go to work. Get off work and pick them up and make the trek back home again. Sometimes my husband picks them up, but usually it's me. If after doing all that, having a demanding job and then getting home to find the house a mess, the bed unmade, the laundry in piles and no dinner at least out and half prepared, I'll go ballistic. It takes a partnership to make a household run. You do your part, she does hers. Don't listen to your co-workers. As long as you're wife is happy and you don't feel used or over worked, it's fine. Good luck (and great job).

Answer 5

It all depends; does she sit around on her butt and expecting you to do it all? It should be 50/50 regardless of how tired she is; I assume you work just as hard? Why does she get to sit on her butt while you do all the work? And about the cooking, she should learn, a good woman should know how to cook; all these answers are from lazy women who can’t cook! And love to have a man like yourself that they can control and manipulate.

Answer 6

No its not unmanly. If you like doing that stuff then keep doing it. Your wife apprecitates if very much. Dont tell your coworkers anything else. Its none of their business what goes on in your house. You and her are married not you and them. Keep it up, you sound like a good man. My man cooks, cleans, does laundry cuz i cant cook well either. We help each other and thats what marriage and relationships are about.

Answer 7

I don't think it is unmanly! It is not like your wife sits on her *** all day and then you come home to do everything. You should tell your co workers to mind their own business. I think it is very sweet that you care about your wife and I am sure that she appreciates everything you do! I give you kudos for going to work (your wife also) and doing the things you do!

Answer 8

I am fortunate enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom. When my hubby comes home, I like to be able to say that I did my work for the day in our home. If I were to work outside of our home, I would expect him to help with the house stuff. It is the home both of you live in, so why not take the reponsibility of caring for it both of yours?

Plus- I can't help to think that when your co-worker goes home, his woman makes him take out the trash, do the dishes, etc. He just wont admit it!

Answer 9

Don't worry about a thing! Doing the chores like what you do is soooo sexy and very hot! I'm sure the women who have read your question wished their husbands would do the same. You're so understanding of your wife! Hats off to you!

Answer 10

Yes, it's unmanly, but it's okay for men to be 'unmanly' only occasionally. Only women are going to say it's not(of course, who wants to work) because it's their dream come true. It would be my dream also, to sit on my *** while the woman does everything. I'm not saying you can't help sometimes(especially when you have nothing to do)

Women definitely like it when you do everything in the relationship. Except, if she works on the cars, puts up the fence, fixes things around the house, mows the lawn, and so on... then I think that she wants to be a man and you want to be a woman.
Hey, there's someone for everyone, and you're happy with it, so that's good.

Answer 11

If anything, VERY manly. Tell your co worker to get a life and help out at his house like you do at yours. I bet you reap other benefits after you've let the Mrs. rest up of the evenings. Why worry about what others say? Tell them they're just jealous that you come in work each morning alllllll worn out from the night before, and it sure wasn't from the cooking/cleaning.

My hubby cooks...I hate to. And, if you look at us, you can tell that we haven't missed any meals, LOL.

Be proud! Cause I sure am of you! Shes a lucky gal. Hope she realizes it.
