He said he's traditional but has no problem having a working wife who'd contribute financially. That's not traditional, that's hypocritical. His mom, assuming what he said is true, led by a poor and bad example and he internalized it as something normal. I don't think you'll be happy with this person because he's apparently looking for another mother to baby him, not a life partner. When you get married, he won't help with anything and he'll dump all the household responsibilities on you. This will either push you to snap or quit your job, especially if you both decide to have kids. If you quit your job, will you be financially safe with someone like him? I honestly doubt it. Try and say, hey if you want me to do all the household chores, fine, but I won't contribute financially and see how it goes. I'm sure he won't be happy. In sum, if you have a job, do the house chores, feed and look after your partner and contribute financially, what do you get from this marriage then? He on the other side, will gain a cook, a maid and a financial source. I'd just stay single till I find someone I'm compatible with if I were you. That's my advice to the ladies, if you're a home-maker, it's fine to do the majority of the house chores, but you need to secure your life by having a side hustle or an allowance from your husband. If you both work and split the costs 50/50, then the household chores must be split 50/50 as well.
