Role Reversals

I have a very interesting marriage.  I am a very feminine man who wants to be a woman and my wife is very much a tom-boy.  I take care of the dishes, laundry, cleaning, and cooking.  My wife just handles the baking if any needs to be done and handles our budget forecasting.  Every morning I get up first because it takes me about an hour to get ready and then I get her up (which only takes 15 mins for her to get ready).  I make the lunches for the day and shuffle the cars in the driveway so her car is out front and facing out.  We talk to each other on our respective drives to work.  Within the course of our daily talk, she tells me what needs to get done, what items I need to pick up on my way home and asks me what's for dinner.

I love going shopping, I love fashion, keeping the house clean, chatting with friends, etc.  She likes staying home, sitting on the couch & watching T.V.   Sometimes I expect to hear her ask me for her slippers and a beer.  We joke a lot that I am the perfect house wife.  Our roles are very much reversed.  She boasts how she is the bread winner in the marriage and she complains how bad her day was without too much of a care how bad mine was.  She gets mad at me if I forget to wash the dishes, run a load of laundry with her favorite sweatshirt, fill up her car with gas, or plan the night's meal.

I like things tidy and in their place, she just throws stuff on the floor or leaves stuff laying around without picking them up.  She even is proud when as she's taking off her underwear that she can kick them up with her foot and catch them in her hand.  I use multiple hair products, paint my toe nails, use facial scrubs, etc.  She only uses shampoo and conditioner and put's her hair in a ponytail.  I wear dress pants, heeled boots, colorful shirts and colorful socks.  She wears jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sneakers, and tube socks.

I love skirts and frilly things, she loves pants and such.

She is very much the man in the marriage and I am very much the woman.
