No, not unless he wants to share MORE domestic responsibility and bare ALL of the financial burden, been through that once before with now ex-husband treating me like I was second class because of being a female. Marriage is NOT a dictatorship. For a marriage to stand a chance of survival both partners have to feel like they are both equal.Being told you are not as important because the husband says so, where ever he got that idea, senior partner, I could see feelings of resentment. If you or anyone else doesn't agree maybe you should try living as a secondary partner only without complaining.

No. Marriage is no doubt a partnership but there is no seniority here, both are equal partners. A married couple is like a pair of scissors always acting in opposite directions yet punishing who ever comes in between.

I agree that marriage is like a partnership, but I believe it is a partnership between two equals. (Not a senior and junior!)
Sorry, but I think your husband sounds very arrogant if he is trying to claim seniority over you in your relationship. It's your decision whether or not to accept that.

what is living in the 20's marriage is a partnership 50/50 he needs to get out of the past tell him he stays home with the kids and cleans /cooks and you work fulltime in my opinion it is harder for the women who stays home then it is to go to work all day.but if you do both go to work and take after the house then hey you hold a majority of the shares in that corporation which makes you the president and him the first lady haha I crack myself up

hell no! it is an equal partnership, otherwise it is uneven and unhealthy. You can't leave the other person out or it won't work!
tell him to get off his high horse and start looking at you on the same eye level or it's not gonna work! I speak from experience!!!

Only if he is primary shareholder in Selfishness Inc.
Tell your hairy caveman that women have evolved beyond his trusted cave writings, and are now 50/50 partners. It makes marriage more interesting for both.

your husband doesn't comprehend the meaning of partner.
there is no 60%/40% in a relationship
there is no boss when he gets cancer and you have to take over all duties, and comfort him and love him.
there is no CEO when a loved one passes away and the person you love needs comfort, there is no president when you face the hard things in life. you need to have someone who will love and care for you as much as you love and care for them in the good times and bad.
there is no bigger part than a one half when 2 makes a whole.

Well, I just wish he had told you that before you got married. That model works well for some and not at all for others. It doesn't work if you both don't want it to operate that way.
