So you don't mind that you have to basically support/provide for someone, and that someone can't even provide food for her children? Seems like men are lowering their standards for gender roles while still being held to their own.
+1 Men are still expected to be men, and do manly duties, but if you try to hold women to the same standards, you're a sexist.
Its the womans job to cook for the family. Just how most woman on here say they want men to do their manly/gentlemen duties they expect a man to pay for dates and to be the one to ask them out, then I expect women to cook and clean.
So you ask her out, pay for dates, and she's your slave forevermore, even though she works full time? Sweet deal. So if I ask the guy out and pay for the dates, I get both a slave AND a cash cow for life? Hey, I'm down for that! Especially if sex twice/day is included.
Co-provide? One person is the breadwinner, the other person is the beneficiary of living with someone who has more than them.
I've never seen/read/heard a man complaining about being approached. And, I'm not saying that women should approach... it's just... if most women believe in 'gender roles' when it comes to getting the ball rolling towards a relationship (and dating up) it would seem weird that they no longer believe in 'gender roles' when it comes to cooking and cleaning.
So far, men in this topic don't seem to mind getting the short end of the stick. I guess this is attitude is why modern females feel comfortable abandoning their end of 'gender roles.'
If one person is the breadwinner then that would be a stay at home parent situation but not necessarily the woman is staying home.
If this was what you did not say in your original post then it is a completely different scenario than if both parents work outside of their home.
Then they both should be able to cook, clean up and care for the children equally. In our home there is no "man's work" or "woman's work" there are chores that needs to be done to keep our home maintained, clean, laundry done, lawn maintained, grocery shopping done, monthly bills to be paid and meals to be prepared and cleaned up after.
When we are together we do these things together when we are not together whomever is home does these things.
Naw, in my case she's worth her weight in gold just laying around and providing eye candy, not to mention her mad skills elsewhere. The kitchen ain't the only room in the house ya know.

I think I should have married that one guy, come to think of it. He earned good money, he liked to cook, kept his house extremely clean, he could fix things/build things - really he didn't seem to expect anything of me but my company! I guess I didn't realize how lucky I was ;-)
So basically you didn't pull your weight in the relationship, and were proud not to.
She said she didn't marry him. She walked from a sweet deal. She said she didn't know how good she had it.
