My partner comes from another culture and we are going through the stages of spending more time with the future in-laws and getting to know them better. This has all made me a little nervous because of their expectations of me. They said to me in order to be a good wife I must cook and clean for my husband... and I am NOT that type of woman! I didn’t say anything just shrugged and said “we will look after each other and be a team”. My partner assured me he doesn’t have those expectations of me but it is still playing on my mind. I don’t want them to hate me or think I am bad for their son because I don’t believe in traditional male/female roles. But I also won’t budge on my own values. How do I get over this?
