Traditional Roles in Relationships: It's Okay to Be Old Fashioned. Relationships have really changed over the last few decades. In most marriages now, men and women share (ideally) the responsibilities of earning the money, handling the finances, making the decisions and raising the children.
This category also includes men who are comfortable being in a supporting role within the relationship, for example if his partner is the primary breadwinner, he is neither threatened nor frustrated by his supporting financial role. He feels comfortable with a fluidity of roles and will do his best to be supportive in his supportive role. Of note, he may have to check in periodicallly with his partner to determine if she continues to be comfortable with the roles as they are. Otherwise, difficulties in the relationship may sprout up.
