I'm going to be really candid. Maybe I need a new perspective but my DH drives me nuts because he is a real "scare bear". To be honest I am often made to "wear the pants" in this family because my DH is fearful of so many things: wildlife (he panicked once when a pelican came too close)... i usually have to deal with a spider in the house... situations like seeing a car accident turn his legs to jelly putting me in the position of needing to tell him to pull it together and dial 000... before i dash toward the accident and help the people inside. Most of the time I feel as if it's me protecting him. This placed a lot of stress on me when i was pregnant. I see my oldest son following in my DH's footsteps. Should this bother me? No one would think these attributes noteworthy if my DH was female. From reading other threads 90% of women demand their husbands dispose of the spider that wanders into their homes. Why is timidity ok with women more than men?
