The Moma's Boy
I am a successful executive for an ad agency, and met a man that was four years younger. Although I am a take-charge woman in the office and he is a chef, the roles are reversed in the home, where he takes control and I find myself subservient. I cook, clean and cater to him, similar to how his mother had done most of his life.
I have found that we are continually committed to go to his parents’ vacation home during any free time, where he is continually nurtured by his mom. I despise these trips, but tolerate since it is better than the sulking and silence when I don’t comply. I have passed my “baby-making” days, largely due to his procrastination and my tolerance.
I have permitted this guy to be trained and accustomed to a certain way, and cannot get back to more desired roles.
Are women in power often insecure in their personal lives, or is this an aberration?
