I really don't see a problem in any on the situations you described except that he is not hospitable. If I have guests over at my house I make sure there are food and drinks available (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). As far as the other stuff, I didn't see the big deal. Maybe your sister just prefers to drive. In the modern day, its not always the guy that has to pay for the meal. I actually laugh at and think its down right stupid for men to feed their girlfriends constantly. In this feminist society women should fork over some money for food.

I wouldn't want to be married to someone like that. I hope she knows what she's getting herself into.
I agree. He's not behaving like a mature adult - doesn't have anything to do with wearing the pants.

OP should maybe spend more time worrying about his own problems at home.

As a fun aside comment: I drive 100% of the time, but I am the only guy who drives among my circle of friends. All the wifes drives in all the other couples I know. Who cares?

Hm do you drive a Hyundai Sonata? And are 36?

I also drive all the time. Currently teaching my GF how to drive so she can relieve me during long trips.

I think you described it better than I did. I dont mind gender roles being reversed but it bothers me when I see him argue over who pays, sit on his ass playing video games on a friday night while she watches, or make no effort to support and help his fiance.

She's a bit upset that nobody in her family really likes him. He says he wants approval from her father but he does not demonstrate at all that he can take care of her.

Archaic gender roles? SMH, no wonder why women complain there are no "REAL MEN" anymore.

My husband always drives, and that's fine with me. I LOVE being a passenger and looking around. It's all I can do not to stick my head out the window like a dog. WWWWWWWEEEEEE!
