I noticed my idea of marriage sounds more like an adoption. I want a daddy figure who will take care of me and who I can rely on. Is this unrealistic dream or just preference?

My idea of dating is similar except not looking for a daddy figure and it’s more like fostering. I foster men until they find a permanent home 😆🤣.

how does that work???

Just think about this: if you want to buy something you have to ask and if they say “no” that’s the end of the discussion. You don’t get to live where you want to live, you can offer your opinion in where you want to vacation but don’t actually get to chose, your career doesn’t matter, you will be 100%responsible for the kids (if you have any), and if they leave you, you will be impoverished. If that sounds ok as a trade off - then you have your answer.

I don’t think it’s unrealistic, but I think you have to understand if you get what you want, it will likely come in the form of an older man. And if you really want a daddy figure, they will in some ways treat you like a child sometimes and not an equal partner.

Are you truly willing to give up a bit of your pride and self realization in order to be taking care of?

In my opinion, that type of marriage is not healthy at all. If you want someone to take care of you, you will always be indebted to that person. I was raised in an area where a lot of the moms were stay at home moms and taught that if I wanted that, I could, but I always needed to be able to take care of myself and whatever kids I may have.
