Well your caveman theory has a lot going for it. Although our attitudes may be modified, our brains are still back there in hunter /survival mode and we still have to nurture this incredibly needy little person for a long, long time and need help to do it.

It was great- described our dilemmas about being strong independent modern women, who aren't "needy" & can contribute income/"meat & berries" to the storage pile in the cave, and yet somehow we ALSO have to play the role of "make him feel like a man", and nurture in the home.


Something I struggle with a lot TBH. I had to become my own protector and take on a masculine role quite young.
