There's also this weird dichotomy where these guys want traditional gender roles and go on and on about being "providers." But when they are asked to actually provide, it bumps up against this ingrained fear of "gold-diggers" they have had drilled into their heads by the "Red Pill" conservatives.
"I want us to be in traditional roles where you stay home and I'm the breadwinner. But if you expect me to actually pay for anything, you're a bitch who is only with me for my money." It's a total contradiction, like a financial version of the Madonna/Whore Complex.

Yep. Then as soon as there is an argument, you are a “user,” a “freeloader” when it was them who wanted you to stay home “for a while” and let them support you. And you quickly find out that your work in the house is worth next to nothing to them. Everything is theirs and whatever you get is charity, given out of the goodness of their heart.
