Why did Mrs. Smith change her roles with her husband?

W: Yes. It was a year ago that my husband and I decided to change roles.
M: Why did you suddenly think of exchanging roles?
W: A year ago, I was beginning to get bored at home all day. My husband didn’t like his job; most of all, he hated traveling to work in the rush hour every day.
M: Did your husband agree to stay at home?
W: At first, be didn’t. But I applied for a job with a salary higher than his. It seemed sensible for me to accept the job and for him to stay at home.
M: Now, you’ve exchanged places for a year. How are you getting on?
W: Very well. We choose roles that are comfortable for us.
M: How’s your husband?
W: At first, he really enjoyed staying at home and being with the children. He thinks we made the right decision although lie does find housework very boring.
M: What about your marriage life before exchanging roles?
W: We have a traditional marriage. I stayed at home to care for children and my husband. My husband worked at a job in the office.
M: Did your husband make most of the decisions at that time?
W: Of course, he earned the money and paid the bills.
