What is your view on FLR ?

Depends upon the individuals. Their personalities, their skills, how they best complement each other. Stereotypical roles by gender shouldn't be the deciding factor. My wife of 43 years didn't allow me to touch the checkbook, drove all the big family economic decisions (house, car, rental property), and rightly expected me to do my share on child rearing and household chores so she could pursue her own career(s). She rightly recognized they were not my strengths even though I managed a million dollar budget at work. To those who couldn't see beyond gender roles it appear I was weak. What they didn't see was she very much appreciated that I stood up to her dominating mother which she could not do, that I still was the major bread winner that gave her the opportunity for investments and our lifestyle, and that I wasn't a typical male of our era that expected their wives to stay home.

After I lost her to cancer, she had everything set up for me: all the financial records and management -- for easy maintenance by me. My second partner had a totally different personality and background. She had had several successful careers, but due to several bad marriages her personal living situation was chaotic at best. I provided stability, security and direction that she needed; in return she provided the impetus and energy to overcome my tendency to procrastinate.
