The article discusses a man's frustration regarding his fiancée's maternal behavior towards him, which he feels undermines his independence. Despite her loving intentions and concern for his wellbeing, she tends to treat him like a child by frequently asking if he is cold, hungry, or tired. He has expressed his need for a partner rather than a mother but feels his messages are not being received. Dear Abby advises him to communicate more directly about his feelings and to be clear that her behavior could jeopardize the relationship, emphasizing the need to balance caring with respect for adulthood.
Your fiancée may not be trying to infantilize you. Many, if not most, women who love the men in their lives fuss over them.
You are going to have to be more direct in your message, and by that, I mean tell her it is such a turnoff for you that you are considering ending the relationship.
It's important to express your needs clearly, and recognize how her intentions may stem from her experiences with her son.
If a discussion doesnât yield results, you may need to consider whether this relationship can meet your expectations.
