Do you want to know what the ironic thing is about so many men being practically allergic to committed relationships when they’re young? It’s that, when they finally do marry, they become total reliant babies to their spouses. Perhaps that’s why men can be so intent on being forever-bachelors in their younger years. They know, deep down, that when they find the one, they’ll lean on her for everything and forget how to take care of themselves. I see it all of the time—the little secret things women do, that their partners don’t even know about, just to keep their relationship and their partner’s wellbeing afloat. You know how they say that the man is a head of the family but the woman is the neck and the neck can turn the head any way she wants? I think there’s a lot of truth to that. The neck keeps the head up, too. Here are ways men become very reliant on their partners.

Keeping up with doctor’s appointments

If a man didn’t have his partner to make his regular doctor’s appointments for him, I think he could go a decade without getting a checkup. In fact, when I met my boyfriend, he hadn’t been to the doctor in nearly seven years. And guess who makes sure he goes every year now?
