When Ian & I first started dating, we pictured our relationship fitting the 1950s nuclear household, only gender-swapped -- with him as the homemaker and me working fulltime to pay for the lifestyle.
But I think part of it is there's no guarantees. Heaven forbid he falls ill (or worse) and suddenly I'm left as sole caregiver. I know I couldn't cope with that without scarring kids for life.
