This comes from Curlysandy's topic "Dad is desperate". My question is... Is it harder for a man to cope than for a woman when a partner becomes dependant on you.
In years gone by men had no household skills, cooking, washing, ironing, shopping etc and to be honest a lot still don't, when a man becomes dependant on a woman the women have all the life skills to cope, many older men simply don't have the these.
As a man I find the NHS difficult to deal with the institutional sexism is beyond belief and that doesn't help but that aside is it harder for a man to cope?
