I guess I can respect that when one accepts a worldview that it will have an inherent impact on one's relationships, and if one generally has views on life that are anarchistic that it would follow that they would want to seek such openness in other aspects of their life, too.
When I describe myself as traditionalist, a lot of it is in things like, as the man in the relationship, I feel a deep desire to sacrifice financially and physically to ensure my family is well provided for, and my partner as the woman generally orients herself towards caring for our child in ways that I might not. It's inherent to our relationship, and neither of us has talked about it nor had any issues for the times we've broken from these roles. That 'traditionality' fits us well and I feel like we do a good job raising our child compassionately but also with structure and respect.
I ultimately don't care what people do if they're not hurting others. If whatever you're doing works well for you and your partner I'm happy to hear that. I wouldn't say I align with your views but it's a big world, isn't it?
