"They are wives who hold very traditional values such as looking after their menfolk, cooking, cleaning, ironing and doing the housework and home making and this is the role they choose and prefer" If you want a tradwife, you gotta be a tradhusband. That means earning enough that she doesn’t have to work and can do all the tradwife duties Otherwise your just a guy that wants another mother in his life disguised as a wife and a roommate | |||

I appreciate it’s a joke but my sisters husband is more than a brother to me. He treats her like an actual queen and busts his ass day in day out to provide for the family. He’s a hell of a guy and I’m unbelievably thankful she’s found such an awesome partner. | |||

"I am very pro single-income households becoming the norm again. However, this traditional lifestyle has to come with modern values that suit our world. For instance, if the higher-earning partner isn’t ensuring that the lower-/non-earning partners pension is topped up to the same degree, and that they have the same amount of spending and saving money at the end of each month, then frankly it’s financial abuse.

I remember sitting at my desk in the mid eighties with a budget of just over £1 million, several staff and earning more than my partner. My mum called for a chat in my lunch hour and blythely told me that 'women only work for pin money'. | |||

But why not start on a footing of equality if you believe in it? This should happen in unmarried relationships too. | |||

Things can be planned for and delivered more easily when catering to the norm. | |||

Hubby ain't gonna hold a gun to her head, saying "you will be a housewife, and look out if dinner ain't ready when I get home" This isn't the 1950's anymore...

You don't get into a relationship thinking it's going to be abusive. It just kind of... happens... while you're not looking. And once you are in an abusive relationship, it can be extremely difficult to leave. You are not just free to choose to do something different in all relationships. Sometimes you are kept in them through circumstance - and a woman in a non-equal tradwife relationship is particularly vulnerable. | |||

The only guys I have seen asking for this have no idea or desire of how to be a traditional Husband. They want a Woman who will do all of the cooking, cleaning and child-rearing and let them play the role of Alpha male, but also still work and pay half the bills because, y'know, they don't want no gold-digga... 
No, good Sir. Just no. | |||

"^^ there has to be financial security for the unwaged partner Isn’t that the idea though, the money earned by one of the partners is for the good of the family? A lot of working class men would hand their whole pay packet over to their wives, as they were the ones managing the bills. I’d done properly it all works out fine.

"Loving the outrage (it's borderline hatred in some comments) against people who like the idea of a certain way of life. What happened to being tolerant? C" No outrage against the lifestyle - it was just the sexist comments I object to. If it suits both partners, go for it! | |||

So yes, I suppose you’re right. On the balance of probability it’s probably mostly women that aren’t splitting their wage fairly with their male partners. #notallwomen | |||

There is no full research done on this though as the census is known to contain many errors and inaccuracies. As for the finanicial statemebmnt, that is a misinterpretation of data on your behalf. The crime of abuse against women and girls is from both male and female perps and not contained to just men as you oddly claim. It's also fair to note that the category of "women and girls" in crime has been known to include male victims on more than a few occasions. Where do you get your statistics from? C | |||

"Kinda tradwife here but also not. I love looking after my partner and my children, I love not having to go out to work - which is fortunate seeing as I'm disabled and can't. I wish I could do more "tradwife" things, such as making/growing my own food (also known as homesteading), homeschooling, making my own clothes and such, but part and parcel of my disability is that I find all of that very very difficult. I listen to my partner, I have my own thoughts and opinions but I have him as my safety net. I will defer to him most of the time and always in public, I genuinely believe in his ideals, passions and ideas but that doesn't make my input any less valid and he will always consult me before he makes his decisions. Sounds so awful doesn't it? P" Sounds like it works for you and your family. Which is great. Shame some others can't see it for what it is. | |||
