TIPS: minimum expectation from a spouse or others

[BrandySnaps1]

This is more for tips from others who are more experienced than me and to do with psychology of people.

What is the minimum you would tolerate from a partner when pregnant? Daily foot rubs? Doing chores without asking? Not going to the pub?

Been reading a lot about masculine and feminine energy. Some say woman should just receive and not try to do everything, while others say encourage men to be men and take charge.

Recently ive noticed men to be very chivalrous when they notice im pregnant.

Pregnancy is obviously tiring, but does anyone 'put it on' a bit more when others are around? Curiosity, this is not me being maniuplative.

Pregancy isn't an illness. I definitely wouldn't expect my partner not to go to the pub anymore than I would expect him to tell me not to go

I would expect my partner to be as caring as usual tbh

I wouldn't expect any change in my decent, caring, loving husband just because I'm pregnant.

I might need him to lift heavy things/climb ladders etc, but I'd expect that anyway if I couldn't do it for any other reason.

I expect any man I live with to pull his weight with the chores without being asked regardless of whether I am pregnant or not

Or do you mean him taking over additional chores if your pregnancy is causing mobility issues or you are or bedrest?

I would expect a certain level of communication then, simply because my DH and I have set tasks with our own routines so it's slightly easier to point out when the beds were last changed or remind what day the bins go out.

But in general the minimum should be the minimum for a partnership normally tbf

And what do you mean by 'put it on a bit more'?

Do you mean pretend to be incapacitated in order to manipulate others into doing things for you?
