That's a cool bonus but not necessary or sought after
I don’t know man, I’ve had ex’s who were completely useless/helpless outside of the bedroom and that shyt wears on you in the long term. shyt gets frustrating because they won’t even do simple shyt like take out the trash. You can’t be away too long because they let shyt fall apart. They’ll literally do shyt like drop and break a TV remote and it’s like “goddamn just look at the TV serial number on the back and order a NEW compatible one off Amazon”. I kind of hate being relied on for EVERYTHING.
I’ve also had a couple of ex’s who were deep into some utilitarian DIY shyt. Like their dad’s had them helping during oil changes, engine drops, and all kinds of shyt. As someone who likes to work on my vehicles, do handy shyt around the house, it was kind of refreshing. One was so extreme that she didn’t like me opening doors for her. She liked learning how to do new shyt, and would just do shyt at her crib like pull up carpet and put down wood all on her own, then want to talk about it because she was happy that you proud of her.
My wife is in-between. She country as hell but prissy. When we visit her mom she likes to have me chill while she helps her mom do outdoor stuff. If something seriously needs fixing then I take care of it. If I forget to grab the trash in the morning, before work, she gets it when our kid is taking a nap. If there’s a bug and I’m busy or gone, she’ll kill it. If I buy her a plant she try like hell to take care of it (
it’s still going to die, but that’s beside the point). If I’m on the ladder she’s holding it even if I say I’m good, because she loves me and doesn’t want to see me fall. If I’m up under one of the vehicles or taking something apart she’s learning about the tools I’m using so she can’t anticipate what I might need. I do 97% of the things that involve being dirty, but she’ll get dirty when she needs to.
I enjoy being wanted, not needed. Our baby is the only useless one in the house, but that’s expected and we love her for that. If I died or was incapacitated I know my girl is going to be fine without me. Yeah, she gon eventually jump on the next nikka dikk, but at least it won’t belong to some lame ass, Tyler Perry protagonist, captain save-a-bytch fukking up my previous yard work and home improvements.
