Surprisingly...I prefer traditional but a lot of men are leaning more toward modern. So Im adapting.

Seems to me traditional has more of a success rate then modern and numbers speak loudly. what happened to the wife at home who would greet her husband at the door coming home from work,kiss him and have dinner ready at the table? Rarely happens now.

double post

in values, Im traditional , I would greatly prefer to be home with a working man,, but the issue is in facing the reality that most men who work would expect me to be their slave if I didnt,, and Im not quite down with that scene either

with the RIGHT man, trusting him to be the sole provider would be great so long as his job didnt excuse him from contributing his efforts at home,, (when he clocks out of work, I want to clock out at home too, not to have the 24 hour job while he gets time off for himself)

I dont want that 'expectation' to just pick up after everyone because I dont have a paying job, I want to feel good contributing to keeping up the home, but also feel it is APPRECIATED instead of my obligation,,,,

,,,all that being said, I probably wont find the man I trust quite enough to leave the financial future of me and my child too,,,so my realistic expectation is to be a working woman(or at least having an income I Create on my own)

Im very much into acting a 'lady'. I embrace being feminine and female, being nurturing and patient,,etc,,

Im very much attracted to a man who acts like a 'gentleman', who embraces being masculine and strong, but doesnt use it as an excuse to be arrogant or selfish,,,,a good provider who is able to care for themself yet still wants to take care of his family and his home as well

A nice notion. I'd like that!

Hey universe!!! Please send me a manwife!



I kid!

Thats exactly what i want.

I always go for traditional types. I feel too old to ever want a modern type. Traditional is more suited to me. The guy I'm with now, is quite traditional. Well he was born in the eighties, so, I guess he would be. :).

I think no matter what kind of relationship two people have, each one needs to put their source of income first. If you have a job, that must come before you lover. Because without an income you cannot provide for your needs. If you're a stay at home wife or husband then your spouses needs must come before your own. They are paying for everything, so give them all the support you can and allow them the final word in financial decisions.

The one that pays the bills is paying the cost to be the boss.

I'm traditional and modern in different aspects. For instance, I believe that the man should be a gentlemen. But I don't believe that the man should always pay. I would enjoy to take my man out and treat him lol

I am 100% modern because realistically; with how high the cost of living is these days; both of us would have to go out and work as neither can afford to stay at home. Unless the guy is wealthy; the average man doesn't make enough to support two people. Also; traditional or not; there is no guarantee that the man/woman will always stay with you; so you have to be prepared to go it alone and pay your own way in life.

what happened to the husband who gladly came home from work to spend time with his family?

I think they are both rare, but not yet extinct,,,

Of course they work better. If the wife is at home; she doesn't have the education or work skills to support herself. So, the husband can become abusive to her, lie to her, cheat on her but she doesn't dare leave him as she simply can't afford to fend for herself. My mom was a traditional wife and did all the crap you mentioned. She was miserable with my dad and the happiest day of her life was when he died. It was like she had a new lease on life and with his death; she had the money to start living again.
