Re: Traditional Male-Female Roles
I’m with you on this 100%! im not married yet, but i love cooking and diy etc, as i lke to make my home presentable and welcoming, and not because i feel that this is what i will have to do once i take on my role as “biwi”. I was in talks with a guy about marriage, and his expectations from it, and he said he wants a wife who irons his clothes, and makes his breakfast everyday, does all cooking cleaning, everything in the home basically. I thought it was sort of acceptable seeing as he would probably be the one bringing home the income. However, his next words were “but she has to have a good job as well, i mean times are tough, and both partners should be working if they want a good lifestyle.” :S I think he wants to marry a robot. Moral of the story though, although gender-roles are important to keep a balance, BOTH parties should help each other out, if not out of duty, then out of love.
