Every couple is different. Every relationship is different. A discussion should be had about this so both people are on the same page.
I dont like getting too wrapped in "my job" and "his job" because it can change in an instant. My boyfriend brings home most of the money, but what happens if he can't work? I would have to pick up the slack for awhile.
There isn't anything wrong with dividing the work, but it's important to communicate, keep an open mind, and be willing to help the other partner out.

I think it is whatever works best for both people. Hat is different from one relationship to another. Many women would be miserable doing all the things I do without help in our home. I am very happy and fulfilled. It’s a personal choice.
I do think it should be talked about before moving in so there is no confusion or resentment once you move in together.
It's up to the couple and what works for them. I don't think there should be any roles at all. You should just communicate with your partner and do what's best for you both. I will not be put in any 'role' nor do I plan to put husband in it
I'm not getting married but I'm with my life partner and things have only changed for the good. But we are ourselves.
No. That mindset is why marriages and the like are always falling apart right now. Through some convoluted range of excuses, people stop taking to their relationships in the same way they used to.. which ends up hurting BOTH parties because they miss how things were..
.. then cue the bullsh*t.
Lol no you are still two same people in a relationship who changed the title to married. Nothing changes overnight or by force... ✌

I think traditional roles to a degree are best. Having a nuclear family with a present mom, dad, kids and a dog is best for the children. They are not only supported by two incomes, but they also have two parents and two lifelong teachers to help them in life. A husband and a wife should divide the common work in the house, so that it's fair.
It honestly depends on the couple... There is no definitive answer too this questions... It just depends on the dynamic and how well you work together... Sometimes it may not change.. other times it will drastically change... The only thing is, you need to be able to adapt and roll with all the punches...
Could you explain further I’m not sure what you mean?
I would imagine moving in together would change who does what around the house and getying married will change the way you present yourself in restaurants, airports and such.
I don't know. Depends what works best in your situation.
No not really as that should be all sorted before you even think about moving in together
I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean the women should be the caretaker and the man the earner? Then no. I would still work
i dont think so, i mean what difference does it makes?
Ya i think its end of enjoyment as after that family pressure increases , therefoe i m against marriage , remainning single is best
you just have to talked it out and agree yourselves
Moved with some one it's getting to know the person cause u don't know the person when yah stay apart
That question is too vague. Roles are always bound to change when people move in together but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad thing...
Absolutely not. If anything roles get stronger with marriage.
Change from what to what?
Depends on what the role was in the first place
Never made a difference to me
Yes, it changes things for life
No. It should be pretty equal.
No need to get married or even move in together
