My last relationship lasted over a year. I bought every single movie ticket and dinner and drink for every night out for the whole year. I had a lot better finances than her, and she couldn't have done all that if I didn't pay. I was happy too. If we had stayed together, I would have kept doing it. She would say she saw me as traditional.
When I was married, I was progressive because my wife made so much money that my contribution was negligible. Her job also beat the shit out of her, so she needed domestic / cooking help and kindness. The only way we would end up in traditional gender roles is if someone broke into the house while we were home.
My "gender roles" had fuck all to do with my natural inclinations and everything to do with how much money the other person made. In the olden times, men made and controlled all the money. Pretty god damned easy to be the provider when the woman isn't allowed to work. Now days, unless you are in the top 5% and involved in upper level management or political jobs, women are doing better, so it is pretty hard to act out the traditional gender role unless you just look for a woman who isn't doing good.
I could go be a provider right now if I sought out a waitress to fuck or something.
