there's a difference between taking care of your husband and him equally reciprocating vs being a slave, where the man expects you to treat him like a king and you are to shut up, cook, clean for him/after him and be available whenever he wants to have sex. Never having a life outside the house, etc.
I see the latter in middle eastern homes a lot, actually it's the norm. I will probably struggle with the former once I finally get married. I did take care of my ex, but I think he took care of me just as much, if not more. Actually I know he took care of me just as much.
