I don't think her role is in opposition to traditional gender roles at all. My image of the OP was of a woman who did all the cooking and cleaning and housework, which is exactly traditional gender roles. She even used the word "serve", a strongly submissive word, which I thought was a dead giveaway. In traditional gender roles the men and women do vaguely equal amounts of working and caring; it's the type of work and care that is divided by gender. In her ideal situation, it would only be the man who wasn't fulfilling traditional gender roles.
Totally agree that there is no "should" or "should not" about this, of course. Be who you want.
I need a lazy guy in my life!
