Choosing to do life as a team.

To me titles don’t really mean anything, but I have a neurodivergent brain that can’t be in a long term relationship with someone I wouldn’t consider my best friend.
So on here I clicked mutual support instead of it meaning nothing

All mean someone I have chosen to be on my team and build my life with. Each showing an outward display of commitment

For me now as ive been all 3, it boils down to loyalty

Mutual support can mean domestic work too. All depends on the dynamics and agreements. Some people enter a relationship wanting the homemaker role because it suits them and they seek characteristics that are not about sharing the same responsibilities. For me, the most important thing was presence as a father, so although I'm not keen on cooking or cleaning and I often need that support, I've had to grow up and fit into a role I always thought I'd hate, in order to prioritize what was most important to me, which isn't help with the domestic work - although I still get it when needed.

For me, the title of wife is mostly dependent on his love for me. It’s more about what he does than what I do
