It all depends if you are working and assuming you are not I would put it this way .You take care of the house and cooking and laundry , ironing anything pertaining to inside of the house . I would say it would be fair for your husband to take care of you financially as well being there for your protection and being a provider and a leader . I think that you may look after the expenses of the household providing that you are wise with the money .The exterior of the house and maintenance should be looked after your husband . You are the homemaker .That' the traditional housewife in today world if you are employed its 50 /50 without a question , but that doesn't seemed to be working . There was fewer divorce in the older days because housewife's were homemakers rather then being providers .

He is only going to be supporting and understanding for a short time. Why in the heck did you marry this guy in the first place? you know how strict they are they are not 'traditional' but very demanding and you dear are stuck! Either ask for a divorce from him and get the heck out before you get any kids or you will be really stuck!! I know at least 3 women that married those type of guys and they regretted it for years until they got enough back bone to divorce and go back to their Western ways. You either have to accept or get out its easier when you are childless.

That would depend on the couple.
According to my now X; who was very abusive...my job was to work FT (turn my check over to him), do all the cleaning, all the cooking, and spread my legs.
Of course my view is I'm not expected to do a GD thing but pay taxes and die...and I'm sure I can get out of paying taxes if I wanted to.
I have since met guys who feel if a woman shares financial responsibilities, then they should share the household responsbilities.

Usually traditional means what was expected by television houswives in the 1950s.
all the cooking
all the shopping (including furniture and decorating)
all the housecleaning
errands (dry cleaning)
all the child care and feeding, bathing, waking them up and putting them to sleep, taking them to the doctor etc.
entertaining or hostess duties
provides sex, love and companionship for the husband
basically does what the husband tells her to do
traditional man:
works full time
pays the bills
manages the money (often giving the wife an allowance for household expenses)
manages investments
takes care of the yard and house
fixes things like the washing machine or toilet
