[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do the mail thing, but my husband always manages the family passports on trips. He hands them to the border agent for the family. He also does all the bills and all the taxes. I feel happy in my marriage after nearly 20 years, I think he does too, and our relationship is strong. If he likes to hold the family passports, and I don't, why would that mean anything? PP sounds pretty happy. Why assume otherwise?[/quote]

It's not just the passports it's the totality of everything. PP doesn't sound happy to me. She sounds fearful and resigned, like she'd like to make some changes but doesn't know how.[/quote]

I did not pick up on the fearful thing. I think she wants to make changes because she's getting to the age where people DO start dying young, like her friend's husband, and she realizes she's unusually reliant on him. But other than that, she mentions over and over that they're both happy with how things are. I agree with the person who said "If he likes to do X and I don't, why should it matter?"[b] People can overthink this gender role stuff. In a long term relationship that lasts for decades, there should be a lot of mutual dependence imo.[/b] If there isn't, THAT can be indicative of a different set of problems.[/quote]

Ok this might be true but how is he dependent on her? All we hear about is how he takes care of all the details and she goes along with it.[/quote]
