When traditional roles are nonconsensually a part of any relationship, trouble can erupt. Back in the day, it was standard for men to work and make money, and for women to stay at home raising the children and taking care of the house. A lot has changed since then, and ever since World War II, women have been taking up more and more jobs in the workforce. Due to economic constraints, cultural shifts, and female empowerment, women in the workforce isn't just common, it's necessary. It's not the 1950s anymore; for decades now, women have been deciding their own fate without the opinion of a man, and for good reason.
If a man wants to dictate a woman's future, he's stifling her independence, autonomy, and power. These traditions can run strong with certain men, due to their occupation, upbringing, cultural background, etc. The important thing is to be aware of it, to uphold your own values and make them clear to whoever you may be seeing at the time.
