Could you be with someone who expected you to adhered to traditional gender roles?

Women: Could you be in a relationship with a man who expected you to not work/stay home, cook, clean and wanted to be treated as the head of the household?
Men: Could you be in a relationship with a woman who opted to the domestic, refused to work and expected you to be the sole breadwinner?

Short answer: no.

Well...no. I would ALWAYS have to earn my own money, at least 50% of the household budget. That is just the way I am.

But as far as the roles go, I would be fine if a man expected me to do all the "lady stuff" as long as he did the "man stuff."

As I have it, I do all the "lady stuff" but he doesn't fix anything I ask him to.

Now, at this point in my life . . . HELL, YES!!! The only reason I'm not retired is because I can't do it.

yeah... me too. Women's lib started with women having choices... to work or not. Now, there is NO choice... women HAVE to work. I'm tired of it, and would love for someone to take care of me. If I wasn't working, then why shouldnt the house be clean and the meals be made??? i wouldnt be any good at it now though because i have always had to work so much that cooking/cleaning was never a priority.

Maybe. Depends on how much I'm earning and how she good of a "domestic" she is. There is something uncomfortable about a man insisting that his wife work.
