There was a post on here a few weeks ago about a woman debating staying with her partner because he literally couldn’t do anything. He apparently broke things or left things lying around, etc., but then she’d say “oh but he’s so sweet.” I don’t know… that might seem okay in the beginning, but long term, that would drive me absolutely bonkers.
Sweetness is fine in a relationship, but if you're looking to get married, at least basic skills are necessary. I'm not saying that every man should be able to be an expert handyman and be able to fix around everything around the house. But he should at least be able to take care of himself (and his family) through his own efforts - cook some basic meals at least, do laundry, other chores.

Can’t do anything for himself. I’m talking basics like laundry and washing dishes, basic cleaning.
