Welcome to Do As We Say, Not As They Did!

How Gender Impacts Relationship Expectations

When it comes to relationships, women are socialized to make their partner’s life easier. They are often taught to take care of the house, raise the kids, and support their partner’s career.

Men are taught their value comes from money and monogamy…or at least pretending to be monogamous.

These gendered relationship expectations rely on a world where the man is the primary breadwinner.

But we don’t live in that world anymore.

More women are building careers and entering relationships where they may earn as much as (or more than) the men they date. Yet men haven’t responded by taking on the dishes and the laundry and the cooking.

So what happens when our relationships change, but our expectations about gender roles don’t? And what should modern relationships look like?

In the latest episode of @DoAsWeSayPod, @DrLizPowell and @DrNerdLove look at relationship expectations by diving into the current dating app hellscape and the world of high-end matchmakers. 👀
