What are the roles that are prevalent in your relationship?

Does your woman understand that she is the woman and there are roles that come with being in a relationship?

Does your man understand that he is the man and there are roles that come with being in a relationship?

What roles exist in your confines? Do they mix and match....which I feel is a recipe for disaster. Are they traditional? Are they non-existent, or are they just natural in accordance to who feels they can do things better?

Because as I see it, the days of long term relationships and marriages have gone the way of the Dinosaur. So what is the formula? Wait....what is your role and is it accepted or tweaked by your significant other?

Just stay on topic and address the roles that are YOURS and the roles that are YOUR OTHER'S.

Because I know commentary is looming from independent, strong, masculine, equal pay, bra burning, crotch grabbing advocates. It is not about that....this is about the roles necessary in a marriage/relationship and how you are harvesting them for success.

See it never worked like that with me and my former partner. It was whoever wanted to do whatever at the time.

Roles are what you do in the office, not in a relationship, ideally.

and that's just it--one shouldn't be the only one who takes the trash out and the other shouldn't be the one who does the dishes.

Who wants to fuck?

What's up with you?

I was gonna post, maybe something sensible, but then.....

the thread was 'bustered, so I decided not to bother. Now I am co-jacking a perfectly good thread, sorry Dex.

I try to always do the dishes after dinner.

Not because I am a woman,
but because that is when the nastiest diaper is known to appear.


I'm not stupid!

that's my girl!

yeah, my hub figured it out

i'm picturing both of you tripping over each other to get to the kitchen, as soon as the forks hit the plate for the last time!

i work in a demanding career, yet am a domestic goddess. i bake the bread and tend the flowers.

i expect my men to take out the trash in a timely manner and kill the bugs when they get home from work.

i'm def. an old skool dinasaur in that respect.

but i like to share certain parts of the domestic life like the cooking and washing of dishes.

and i'm always ready and willing to trade a back rub for a foot massage
