I Am Traditional When It Comes To Gender Roles
This may be unpopular, but yes, I do. My opinion is based on traditional male/female roles as that is my experience.
I am traditional in small and big ways.
Small: I rarely will make the first move- I might nudge or take a step but I wait for a man 99% of the time. If he checks me in some way I will retreat like a turtle and never make another advance. I look to him for guidance and tailor my behavior based on his reactions. I observe it all very carefully. I will never call him unless he specifically asks me to. I will not ask him on a date. In conversations he gets the last word unless it's a really bad argument.
Big: Though I support a woman having her own career, I think there's not a thing wrong or shameful in him having a career and her staying home and taking care of it and the family.
Having been raised not to depend on anyone, especially men, I can say from experience it is unhealthy and unrealistic. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being part of a traditional role relationship.
