Have any of you noticed anything good/negative/interesting/fun about your gay relationships when it comes to not having stereotypical male/female expectations/gender roles to cause issues...or stop them? Or things just being 2 guys in general.

things you like from being alike
things like who pays
waitstaff experiences
fun cooking together
not being regarded as a couple
happy that you're being assumed as a couple

Anything, really?

My partner was married for 21 years, but even that relationship didn't have typical gender roles. He was "Mr Mom". His wife worked, and slept. He did everything from feeding the kids to cooking to yard work, laundry, groceries, and paying the bills. Even as a latin couple this wasn't very typical. We've never really thought about who plays what gender role. We both cook. Sometimes together, sometimes we take turns. I work from home so a lot of times I'll decide what we are having and then one of both of us will cook. A lot of times we split checks at dinner. Sometimes I pay, sometimes he pays. We've never had any issues in a restaurant, except for one really over the top flamboyant waiter who gushed loudly about how wonderful it was to have "family" in the restaurant. It was more annoying than anything else.

It's a partnership.
