Men, grab a pen and paper. This is a short course on being a worthy partner.
Marriage isn't just a heart in a bio or a filtered Instagram photo — it's a deal. And sometimes, a deal that can end in arguments over the trash, or why he never puts his shoes back where they belong.
A video of a creator showing his 7-point list of things a woman should not do if there is a man at home has gone viral on TikTok. Romantic or traditional? Decide for yourself. But this list sparked debate online. Women. don't touch these things with your hands if there is a man at home:
1. Throw away the trash
If there is a man in the house, she should not go near the trash. “It is a man's job for life,” said the boy who posted the video. Some men online supported him: “At least we are good at something.”
2. Doing heavy work around the house
Mowing the lawn, pruning trees, or painting the fence? “Only if there’s a little rose garden,” he adds. Otherwise, it’s a man’s game. Although, scientifically, gardening is a great workout for the body and mind. Double win, we say.
3. Repairing things at home
If a water pipe bursts or the heater breaks, he should take matters into his own hands – or at the very least, call a handyman. The idea is: the wife shouldn't have to stress about screws or wrenches.
4. Dealing with the car
"The car won't start? Oil to change? Wash? His job." Meanwhile, the internet is full of women who feel like they're in a relationship with a child who doesn't know the difference between a motorcycle and a trunk.
5. Paying most of the bills
According to the creator who posted the video, Mr. Gen X, a man should shoulder the financial burden, or at least most of it. He sees it as a duty and an honor, not an option. Although, many couples operate on a 50/50 split. The secret is communication – not bank accounts.
6. Hiding intelligence
If a man has a problem with his partner being more efficient at work, smarter, or more successful, then he's not a man, he's a guy with a bruised ego. And let's be honest: smart women are the superpower of any healthy relationship.
7. Being a mother... even for your husband
Children have two parents, not a mother + a husband who also requires care from the mother. Therefore, a woman should not bear the burden of raising children alone. Fathers who are involved create happier, more secure children and marriages that last.
