Gloria Ntazola opens up on fear of living with men over traditional gender roles
By Paulette Mboga, April 4, 2026Gloria Ntazola has spoken openly about her fear of living with men, saying traditional gender roles in relationships make her uncomfortable.
On Saturday, April 4, 2026, she explained that many men still expect women to handle house chores and cooking. She said this expectation is one of the main reasons she is afraid of cohabiting with a partner.
She added that the pressure to perform household duties daily feels overwhelming. She said she cannot imagine waking up early to prepare meals and manage chores for a man. She explained that such routines feel exhausting and mentally draining for her.
“I’m so scared to live with a man because of that behaviour. Most men love those traditional women who like cleaning and doing house chores,” Gloria Ntazola said.
Gloria Ntazola said she struggles with the idea of starting her day focused on cooking and serving. She explained that even breakfast feels like a burden because it requires early preparation.
She added that she prefers not to place herself in a situation where she is expected to cook every morning.
Pressure of early morning cooking
She said she does not even eat breakfast because she cannot handle the pressure of early-morning cooking. She explained that waking up and immediately thinking about food preparation feels chaotic for her. She added that she prefers a simpler and less demanding morning routine.
“Mimi ata breakfast, I don’t eat. Because I can’t afford to wake up and start cooking, that’s too chaotic,” she said.
Gloria Ntazola explained that the expectation to prepare meals for a partner every day feels unrealistic. She said it becomes even harder when a woman is expected to wake up early and also prepare a man for work. She added that such responsibilities feel overwhelming.
She said the idea of cooking heavy meals every evening because a man needs to eat is too much for her. She explained that she does not understand why women are expected to carry such roles alone. She added that this expectation makes it difficult for her to consider living with a man.
“Imagine you’re fresh from sleep and already thinking about food. And you have to wake up early, prepare him for work and cook for him,” she said.
