Old Fasioned Relationships (wife, married, woman, loving)

[Burb]

For the ladies out there, would you be in to having a relationship with a man who wanted an old school relationship where:

• You stayed home, or volunteered
• You did all of the housework, laundry, etc.
• You cooked the meals, set and cleared the table, etc.
• Took the old fashioned "woman behind the man" role

Assuming that the man took full responsibility providing financially, you were attracted to him, and he was affectionate and loving, etc. Do you think you could be happy in that type of relationship?

[CSD610]

yes but I have also been on the working side and was just as happy.
Some can, some can't, just like everything else in life.

[Metaphysique]

Absolutely not.

That's what I'm doing now, but I wouldn't have married a guy who wanted that. It was something we agreed upon together. If I start climbing the walls it's back to work for me.

[mishigas73]

Yes, absolutely.

[jade408]

No way jose! I like working. I knew from an early age being a housewife was not for me.

I'll cook though, but we need to find someone else to do all the cleaning.

[Cantabridgienne]

Nope, not for me.

Incidentally, neither my mother, grandmother nor great-grandmother had the sort of relationship you describe, either.

[MissClutterbuck]

Would I be free to pursue my own interests, like writing a novel, etc. Or would I be expected to have his slippers waiting for him every day, not bother him about issues in my life but only listen to him, etc.

I guess what I'm asking is, how much of a narcissist is this guy? Does he expect to always be the center of attention?

Stayed home or volunteered: If I stayed home, I would still do my freelance projects and my Ebay store.

Did all of the housework, laundry, cooking, etc: Sure, as long as you pitch in when I'm in over my head. Otherwise I subcontract it to the kids

Woman behind the man role: Only of you're equally willing to be the man behind the woman

Sure!


But you will find that some will and some won't... just like practically any other relationship question here.
