My male therapist says I need to do more housework for my husband: Feminist Advice Friday paid subscriber bonus
Her therapist says the only way to get more affection is to do more housework.
A reader asks…
I purposely resist household chores as I was like a slave in a previous relationship. My husband hates that I dont do as much as him around the house although I do most of the food prep, the shopping and general administration of our needs etc.
How can I make it seem more even?
My therapist, who is male, suggested that I do more housework for 90 days to see if I would then receive more affection from my husband and told me I was quite a catch by the sounds of it in my previous relationship doing all the shopping, cleaning, cooking etc.
And that it does work because my ex was affectionate with me.
Is the only way to receive affection from males by doing housework?
