The letter highlights a man's concerns about his fiancée's maternalistic behavior towards him. Despite his attempts to express that he feels infantilized, her caring actions continue, potentially rooted in her past experiences as a single mother. The response suggests that he should communicate more directly, indicating the extent of his discomfort, which may help her understand his need for more equitable adult dynamics in their relationship. If communication fails, it may point to an incompatibility that requires reflection on both sides.
I have suggested repeatedly that she doesn't need to provide advice on clothing, hunger, etc. that I'm an adult and have successfully figured out those things for a very long time.
Your fiancée may not be trying to infantilize you. Many, if not most, women who love the men in their lives fuss over them.
