Benny always drives when we go anywhere. There is never even any discussion about this. He just gets in the driver seat and I get in the passenger seat.
He does ALL the outside chores and I do ALL the inside ones.
He works while I stay at home and raise our children.
He always opens the door for me when we are out and about.
At restaurants, most of the time, he orders for me. At bars, he always does.
If we actually sit at a table and not a booth, he usually pulls my chair out.
He leads me around the dance floor and not the other way around.
He will always stand up for me no matter what even though I can do it myself.
Did I just set women back 50 years? No. It's not that I can't do those things, it's that he respects me enough to do them for me. My husband is just a southern gentleman that believes it's great to be the man of the house with his wife right by his side. And ya know what, I love it that way. Know what else, we are totally raising our sons to do the same.

Definitely respectful...nothing sexist about that. I think we definitely need more men (and people in general) like this and I am so glad you are raising your boys this way and that they have a perfect model of this in their father!
He's a keeper. My husband did that while we were dating and now it's just a once in a while thing!
It's definitely respectful and I'm proud of you for letting him do those things for you. :) Me on the other hand...I'm to controlling for some things but Brian had better damn good and well open my doors for me. LOL!!! XOXO
I think Benny is a respectful
gentleman. I see nothing sexist about it.
I'm sure your boys will grow up to be great men, just like their Daddy.
You have a beautiful family, Sweetie. I hope y'all have a weekend filled with laughter and memories.

I think that's great! That is the way it should be. I don't think it's sexist at all.
You definitely know how I feel about it! Levi is EXACTLY the same way. And while we dont have any boys, we raise our daughter to accept nothing less from any future man in their life. Every woman should be so lucky.
I'm with you and your commenters. Short momma is right, if a man treats my daughter any other way I hope she runs his ass off!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. We both live in the state of Texas. It's a great state. I love it. Nice to meet you.
Totally respectful, and awesome! :)
