A mate of mine was single for ages because he expected his woman to be a beauty queen (when he looked like a walrus :o)).<br /><br />Sadly, there are still people who want traditional roles. And they aren't happier for it IMHO.<br /><br />:o)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-3961572861068005922015-08-01T10:58:00.043+01:002015-08-01T10:58:00.043+01:00Yes things are better now, though not without thei...Yes things are better now, though not without their own worries. I have heard people say they find dating a little depressing now because everyone's always looking for something better, as there is so much to choose from on all the dating sites. And being dumped by text would be pretty awful.<br />I can't believe women could be so cruel in their rejections back then - what a horrible way to say no. <br />On the other hand, politely saying 'no' and then being abused or repeatedly asked, was also not very nice. I remember those days without any nostalgia.<br />You and Mrs PM have it right - both partners should share the responsibilities. I have no patience with anyone of either sex who wants to keep the old roles. It leads to clueless husbands and bitter wives, in their old age :)Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-40836324906637651822015-07-26T13:26:37.734+01:002015-07-26T13:26:37.734+01:00Hi River,

That old fashioned "women can't cope on their own, they need a man" thing.Pfft. Even when I had a man around the house, I still did most of everything. Had to with hubby #1 away a lot with the Army; as for hubby #2, he was as useless as a two year old when it came to household things.
