There are plenty of women out there someone will make you happy. My current lady wanted to move to some state that does not trust its citizens to have the firearms I have. So I told her that state is not on the approved list. She was serious about wanting to move there so I told her she can go but I am not. She then said your guns are more important than me. I told her they will be here longer than you or I so they are more important than both of us. We are still together and I do not see that changing. Sometimes a good old fashion no is needed.
There is nothing wrong with doing some chores but all of them come on. Now if she is your sugar momma then ok but if not you want equality then let's have equality.

rpk: Your "current lady" doesn't have much of a grasp on current events, does she? I would not remotely consider going to an anti-2A state - its a matter of self-preservation, and its for her own protection and interest that you stay well-armed (tell her that came from a female).
This thread has got to be a joke, right? To the OP: you are already married and you are just NOW sorting this out? Did you date at all or was she a mail-order bride? Is this matter really about chores, or is it about decision-making, alpha versus beta, etc.? For the sake of amusement, I'm going to pretend the OP was sincere. So the questions for the OP: 1) do you love her, or 2) is this a marriage for the purpose of convenience and consortium alone (are you just another pig-dog?). Does she work (Full-time, earn more than you), go to school, or come "self-funded"?
In the traditional family unit, which seems to have gone to hell in a hand-basket, the primary bread-winner does some necessary "alpha" chores, while the stay-at-home mom raises the kids, and yes does the bulk of house-work (minus the heavy manual labor - lawn & car maintenance, varmint removal, roof-work etc), fully financially supported by her ever-so-industrious husband. But if you put the mom/wife at work, then no, don't expect her to do the same amount of chores as a stay-at-home, then there needs to be more splitting of home-duties. Does the wife work or go to school, and are kids involved? If so, make a list of home duties/chores, and divide fairly. If she does work, does she need be be assertive at work to succeed there? If so, don't expect her to be able to "turn it off" completely when she comes home. If she was secure in her role as your wife, that need to be "alpha" at home should decrease in time.
In my belief system, wives are to be submissive to their husbands, but the husbands also are to love their wives more than they love themselves. Wives are not just to be used as a slave in the kitchen and bedroom, but to be adored, cherished, and taken care of (and without any remote thought cheating). So, a wife can be submissive in "decision-making" because she knows her husband will always put her needs and desires above his own, with the end result being the strengthening of the family unit.
This tradition/belief system fails if the so-called husband has de-evolved into the "pig-dog species" who merely perceives the wife as property, or the bedroom/kitchen slave. Feminism is really a construct meant to destroy the traditional family unit and facilitate a socialist/fascist state, but it has succeeded to date purely because of the rise of pig-dog species. If there weren't pig-dogs, there would be no feminism. Media is pushing the "pig-dog" ideals because, well there are other ultimate goals achieved (including destruction of capitalism, democracy, and the free world as we know it).
I don't know Clark, but the scenario I envisioned, is that you really don't "know" your wife (or don't care to), just know she has all the anatomy working OK, you wanted to get married and neither of you were too particular, and she's ten or twenty years younger but from that "Me" generation that had everything handed to her and was never responsible for chores or her own self-maintenance. If so, well that's your bad for not seeing that before you went into this relationship. The other case is that you are seeking to get support to join and ascend the ranks of "pig-dog". Either way, at the end of this marriage you will probably harbor a lot of resentment, a couple of STD's, and see half of your assets disappear.
