What do you expect your experience of being a partner will be?

Asked by desiree333 (3219points) October 27th, 2011

I am writing a short paper for my women’s studies class about social location, and privilege. The purpose of this paper is to help me define my social location and explore my lived experience, and how both shape my worldview. It is also to help me understand the meaning of the feminist movement.

One suggested thing my professor asked me to consider was: “What do you expect your experience of being a partner will be?”. There is a whole slew of questions that we could include in our paper. I just don’t quite understand how to answer this question. What do you think my professor is looking for here? I have never been in a long-term relationship, and I don’t know what kind of things to mention. Can anyone help jump start some aspects I should bring up?

Do you think she wants me to say things like shared income, and patience? I am so confused. It is hard to come up with what a married life would be when I am only a 17 year old that doesn’t have any relationship experience.

I am NOT getting anyone here to do my homework. This is an opinion-based question that I need help in understanding what to bring up.
