a bit more on "how he might like to take care of you".... I think he "wants to feel manly". On HIS scale. Some men's self-image, depends on how well they take care of their wives, in a "manly fashion". You know, stuff like, "a real man is a good provider, fixes things, blah blah"
"cutting the lawn" appears to rank zero on his "manly scale". So, probably better to find something else.
