I suspect she is a control freak and "wants what she wants", and the gender role excuse is just that, an excuse to get what she wants. My suggestion will determine whether or not she is being genuine, as she should have no problem complying with the things I listed if she really wants to honor traditional gender roles. She's really just selfish, and I agree that this relationship is probably doomed and if not, the OP's wants and needs certainly are doomed. Greg, I truthfully think you should have a break up talk with her, and tell her that you want someone that will appreciate your effort and if she's not willing to make a compromise then you would rather just leave. You are going to be a doctor which means you have plenty of options now and that will only increase when you become one. You need to show her that you're willing to leave her if she's not willing to compromise on this.
Take2, it's not punishing or exacting revenge. It is literally using her logic and reasoning so he can get some benefit from the arrangement as well. As I said earlier, if she's not full of shit, she should have not problem taking on the traditional female roles. My guess is that she is full of shit.
