Christian Guy Agrees To Strict Gender Roles In The Family, Upset Wife Actually Enforces Them

There’s been a lot of talk lately about traditional gender roles and whether they actually work in modern relationships. Some couples swear by the old-school setup where the husband provides and the wife runs the home, while others think that kind of dynamic belongs in the past.

But one woman’s views became so strict that even her own husband started getting tired of them. She doesn’t want him helping around the house or spending too much time playing with their kids because, in her eyes, it’s unmanly and “woke.” Meanwhile, he just wants to be a good dad.

Unsure what to do, he hopped on Reddit for advice.
