I think it’s a spectrum. You can go from modern to traditional or anywhere in between. I’m more of a modern wife at this point because I have a career and can’t even boil water. I also dress crazy, swear like a sailor, and smoke a lot of weed so i don’t give off super feminine vibes like the women who are closer to the trad side of the spectrum.

It’s all kind of meaningless labels, but traditional wives to me are like 50s housewives who wear dresses everyday, are the householders, and care for the man and his kids. To me, they act/dress/present more feminine and “proper”.

I think there’s benefits either way, but the best would be to fall somewhere in the middle. For example, my husband nor I really care about holding a “traditional” household, but would it be nice if I could cook a nice meal and get my hair done more often? Fuck yeah.
