Estee Williams, 26, is a self-confessed ‘trad-wife’ and spends her days cooking and cleaning for her husband. But while she enjoys her traditional lifestyle, others believe it’s ‘limiting’ and ‘outdated’
A self-confessed ‘trad-wife’, a woman who practices and believes in traditional gender roles and marriages, has shared an insight into her daily life – and what it’s like to obey her husband’s every desire. Estee Williams, 26, from Virginia, America, has dedicated her life to making sure her husband’s daily routine runs smoothly.
This includes taking responsibility for cooking, cleaning, and other household chores. She also doesn’t venture outside without her husband’s consent and avoids being outside alone on an evening. But while some argue her lifestyle is “limiting” and “outdated”, others believe she has every right to live a traditional lifestyle as long as she is happy with it.
In a TikTok video, she explained the “conventional and unconventional” things she and her husband do in their marriage, starting with “not leaving home after dark”. She said: “Anything that needs to be done outside the home can be done during daylight.
“I always ask my husband before I leave home and arrive places as well as share locations. I’m safest at home and with my husband This is all about safety.” When she is outdoors alone, she avoids unnecessary male contact as it could be seen as disrespectful to her husband.

She added: “No opposite sex friendships. This is disrespectful to your partner and opens doors for comparison and affairs to happen. Any friendship needs I get from women and my family.” While acknowledging it may “ruffle a few feathers”, she admits to submitting and serving her husband on his terms – with him justifying this with a bible quote.
To keep their marriage safe from “outside interference”, the couple will not involve others in their disputes. She said: “This causes more harm than good. Others will feel pressure to take sides and influence your marriage.”
However, she tries to limit disagreements by considering her husband’s preferences in everything she does – including what she cooks and how she dresses. “I typically wear the clothes he likes best, style my hair the way he enjoys, and cook the foods he loves,” she added.
“I put my husband’s wants ahead of my own and this has done nothing but benefit myself and our marriage.” Commenting on her trad-wife lifestyle, one user said: “I am totally down for people choosing this life if they want. Just as long as they’re not allowing their partner to take advantage of them in doing so.”
Another user said: “I personally choose to be single, work and live the hustle life. But if anyone wants to be a stay at home mum, I’ll be happy for them too.” A final user said: “Why are people mad about this? This is absolutely natural for quite a few women. It’s also ok if it’s not ok for other women… geez.”
