Tiberius Posted November 8, 2010 Posted November 8, 2010 Hi, the traditional roles in my relationship are pretty much reversed. My girlfriend is taller stronger than me and most guys has more muscle is a very dedicated bodybuilder and did martial arts for years, while I did yoga and diving. In most other areas they are reversed too. Now other couples are in similiar situations, where the girl is the breadwinner, or a better fighter or stronger or there is combination of things where the roles might be considered reversed, but the couple is happy with it. If you think you are in such a relationship in a way, how do you feel about children entering the picture? Would it bother you to have children in such a situation, where the traditional roles are not what they should be, or wouldnt it?
dreamingoftigers Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 It has been somewhat like that for us, my husband seems to be more sensitive and less of a pursuer then me. He taught me how to clean etc. We move freezers/fridges/beds together for haulaway. It never bothered me and we have a happy, healthy little girl together. Doesn't seem to bother him either.
denise_xo Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 I would guess that the most important thing for a child is to experience love and acceptance from their parents, and to see healthily confident role models in them. I think who brings home the pay check is less important.
