i believe in this 100% and i want my relationship to be this way. however my boyfriend of 2 years believes differently, that there are things men can do that women can't because they are "the man in the relationship". its never anything outrageous but it is the cause of many arguements because we can never see eye to eye. we never have agreed but just let it go. but im getting frustrated that its something permanent. i know there are gender roles in a relationship and am fine with that. but shouldn't they be equal? i think that if he doesn't feel comfortable with me doing something then i wont, and he shouldn't either. basically im looking for a way to get it through his head, we aren't back in the old days, we both deserve equal treatment. im 21 and he's 25, there are some years between us but not much. is this a lost cause? any suggestions? should the man ever have more say so in a relationship? just need some input. thank you
