No one should be taking care of another person who isn't a dependent. That goes for a man or a woman. If a REAL man takes care of his own then so does a REAL woman.
I think that dating is about reciprocity and doing for each other out of the kindness of your heart but all of it in moderation. If you're married and the agreement is that she pays the majority of the bills and he is the caregiver for the children and does a lot of the housework, then that's prearranged and they are different but equal responsibilities. When you feel like you're giving more than receiving and the person is making you feel obligated to care for them while they aren't lifting a finger, a change needs to be made.
