The constant pressure of being more of a caretaker than a partner can take a huge toll on your relationship. Arya Chatterjee provides a few pointers to find out if you’ve got a man-child on your hands.
How many times have you been in a situation where the ‘boy’ you’re dating has made it seem like rolling eyes is not just an emoji, but a constant state of living? ‘Boy’ being the operative word here, you find there’s nothing more frustrating than dealing with a guy who has no intention of turning into a man! Many of us have had the misfortune of being saddled with a ‘man-child’ who shuns adult responsibilities and refuses to grow up. And it’s not easy to deal with one in the long-run.

According to Dr Prerna Kohli, a clinical psychologist based out of Gurgaon, the man-child syndrome is not that uncommon among men in India. “Men with such immature tendencies have been sheltered their whole life, and sons who are treated as children even in their adulthood are more prone to develop this syndrome,” she says.
