I’m a woman and I keep seeing this idea shared by other women on YouTube, TikTok and instagram and I’m curious how men actually feel about it. The advice is that instead of nagging, repeating things, over-communicating feelings or managing a man/husband, a woman should pull that energy back into herself. Focus on her own life, confidence, mental and physical health and stop mothering or catering to a man. In a marriage that could mean no longer constantly cleaning, cooking, reminding or trying to get him to help or change. She still respects him and may ask for small things, but she stops running the relationship. Pretty much “stop mothering a grown up man, it’s repulsive”. The claim is that this makes men more attracted and more willing to step up, while nagging and constant asking does the opposite. Does this ring true from a male perspective or is it just another social media theory? submitted by /u/HuckleberryNew777

if a partner isn’t supporting you and excited for you to improve yourself and take care of yourself, then it isn’t worth worrying about their opinion.
that being said, communication is key. tell him what you want.
no need to baby sit your partner, but they should be aware that you focusing on yourself isn’t due to a dislike for him. just that you need to focus on yourself as well.
