Woman you are referring to here.  I use the word traditional because
- I cook most of the time
- Do most of the laundry
- Handle day to day logistics of the house
- I don’t like using the word submissive, but it is accurate, we have rules
- I make sure I am “presentable“ ever day.
- I defer to my husband on most major decisions out of trust but I also don’t need his permission to make decisions or spend money
- I have various roles in our relationship, wife, lover, friend, muse, sub 
- I happily will say I am housewife
- I know my husbands preferences with just about everything and make sure they are met

Among other things

NP. OP, interesting topic, a few derailments, but that is also topical and expected on DCUM.

My belief, as a woman, is that the quoted above is what many women want, but struggle with for various reasons.[/quote]

It comes down to trust. In theory I could be down with this, but I am not with my DH because I don’t trust him to have my best interests at heart. I am not willing to sacrifice my needs and wants to cater to his needs and wants.

My DH, though, has sacrificed his needs and wants to me…and is angry that I’ve failed to meet them. I don’t want to be responsible for his. I can be responsive, though. And I would like him to be responsive to mine.
