That is how my ex wanted it, her staying at home & me going to work 6 days a week, just the two of us. It transpired that she wasn't old fashioned, she was just bone idle.
Each to their own, I work 25 hours a week, I do all the cooking and washing up 7 days a week, I also do all the food shopping, cleaning, washing, ironing etc. I do not expect my husband to do any of these things I think of it as a woman's role. After dinner he relaxes while I clear up, he would help if I asked but I don't ask. He has a stressful job which brings in a good wage, that is his contribution. He also deals with any DIY jobs on the weekends if needed and sorts out any financial matters, bills etc, but I do the rest. It's not to do with any religious or cultural beliefs, I am a white English woman and do not go to church. I am simply happy to have old fashioned values and to look after and obey my husband, if that makes me appear bone idle then so be it.
IIN to have old fashioned views about male and female roles

Sounds like you both have everything sorted out, no arguments on who should be doing what, bills get paid on time & things get done. Domestic bliss.

She’s your old ex and saw the error of her ways.

Impossible. The op is reasoned, has a work ethic, is evidently intelligent & sane. Everything my ex wasn't.
Ironically my ex did see the error of her ways, she packed a bag, fucked off & left me holding the cat.
