You two see things differently. More than likely will not work.

I'd move on. [/quote]
+1 It's golden now because you are not married and don't have kids.

I had a male friend a long time ago who seemed to not believe in gender roles; he had a sister, and lots of female friends whom he respected.

I lost touch with him, but reconnected after several years. He had gotten married.  He told me that he never thought he'd be this way but he said after he got married he did expect gender roles, like he expected his wife to have dinner ready when he got home.  I don't know what happened in that marriage, whether he relented or she did, or a combination.

But, I do think some men do have certain expectations.  I dated this guy a long time ago in college who seemed like he would support my career.  I did better than him in college and had career goals.  We broke up, and years later reconnected as friends. He was engaged but it was a long distance relationship.  He told me that they were having issues because he wanted her to move up to where he was, but she thought he should moved to where she was which made sense because where she lived is where he's also from. They both have friends/family there, but his career was up north, and he expected her to give up her career for his.  They eventually broke up (they had other issues).

This will be a huge contentious issue in your marriage.[/quote]
