Traditional gender roles in relationships are changing as more women take on high-paying jobs and become primary breadwinners. However, some men and women still cling to traditional gender roles, including the belief that women who out-earn their male partners will ultimately lose respect for them. But evidence suggests that it's not the mere fact that women are earning more than their partners that causes the loss in respect, but it's the lack of balanced responsibilities between two partners in the same household.

According to reports I mentioned in an original blog post, married women perform about twice as much more unpaid domestic work than their male partners. Some research suggests that even when wives are the primary earners and both partners work outside the home, married mothers are still doing the lion’s share of the housework and child care.

If you found yourself always doing significantly more around the house than your partner, even when you're contributing an equal share of the household finances, how would you approach this to make things more balanced? At what point would you simply walk away from the relationship or marriage?

I thought most all girls move out and live with boyfriend? I’ve seen many girsl living with boyfriend and have baby & get married years after. Some get lucky and married at 18 . Some divorced single mom with 4 kids. I’m 25 live alone as it’s my dream have my own tiny apartment. I grew up with parents fighting screaming daily as my dad used drugs. Back then I wasn’t able to run away but now as an adult I can run away.
mom says I need live with her until I’m married I can’t live alone. I visit her every 2 months & she stressed me out yesterday when I saw her. All she did at the market was force me get married now cuz my brothers wife’s 5 sisters all are married & im not. The youngest is 28 & got proposed last week.
im angry cuz a girl cannot know wen she’ll marry it’s a secret. Girls do not give rings to men and kneel down to propose.
I’m sad as I have super religious freak family 😓 my landlord isn’t like that she lives with her daughter & she’s not married has 4 kids &her mom isn’t angry at all cuz she has 4 kids & not married.
my mom would beat me for having my first baby at 26 & not married. She knows where I live so she would demand landlord to see me at my house to beat me 😥& she would faint of misery I have baby & not married.
my bfs younger sister has many kids and not married either & her mom isn’t angry or disowning her at all but they all live together with her boyfriend too. 🙁😓

Even though both are after all the end of a marriage, they are different. Which would you say it's worse?

- Undergoing a divorce with kids involved (either a bitter one, you got cheated on, etc, after all that investment

- You were happily married, love each other, had kids and suddenly your wife/husband got killed either by a terminal disease or an accident (auto accident, in an explosion, etc)
