What does it Mean when your 42 Year Old Husband is Still Watching Cartoons?
Most women have been forced to ask themselves the profound question, "What happens when my forty year old husband is still watching cartoons? What does it mean when I am looking for a second job in the Sunday paper, and my husband is in the family room playing video games?" Regardless if it is due to the embarrassment of having to admit that you have possibly married a kid at heart, or the need to hold on to a piece of a marriage that is literally falling apart, for many women it is a taboo to think that they may have actually fallen into this relationship dilemma where they have outgrown their mate. It is a common topic through the media, talk shows, and other popular venues that women are stressed out, unappreciated, and that the majority of the household obligations and outside necessities becomes their sole concern and responsibility. Although this topic has been widely discussed and analyzed, the deeper reason behind what is really going on is that in too many relationships today women find that they have outgrown their mate. The media often portrays this dilemma in a comical fashion and does a good job of circling around the problem, without actually confronting it. It is not uncommon to see a television commercial where the wife is trying to cook dinner, put a load of clothes in the washing machine, while tending to three screaming kids all at the same time. While the commercial also show were the husband successfully tuned everyone out by laying on the coach, watching a football game and yelling at the referee for calling out a foul on his home team. As women we casually sit back and see examples of our own life when the responsibility with our mate was clearly unbalanced and too one sided. Most of us would admit that we can relate to the circumstances but we have yet to label this problem as a possible stage of outgrowth. Until the truth comes out about this growing relationship problem, it will continue to go on mislabeled, unconfronted, and unresolved. The only hope we have to mend our stress filled relationships is to finally unravel the truth behind why so many women outgrow their mates.
