Anna Aronov opens up about her relationship with her husband: "Problematic in my eyes"
The "Dancing with the Stars" judge issued a clear message against traditional gender roles in relationships, explaining why rigid definitions can harm a romantic connection over time.
She is tired of rigid definitions: Anna Aronov, the famous dancer and judge of "Dancing with the Stars" on Keshet 12, decided to share deep insights about relationships with her social media followers. She explicitly spoke out against the traditional division of male and female roles, reflecting on her own relationship with her husband, Eyal Algabi.
The trigger for the series of messages she posted last night was a monologue by Adi Ayash, whom Aronov described as "one of the most interesting people on Instagram," which dealt with social expectations from each partner.
In her video, the star explained her point of view:
"I just heard an amazing monologue by Adi Ayash, where they were discussing definitions of how a man should be in a relationship and how a woman should be. In my eyes, it is so dynamic and symmetrical that it is not something that needs to be chosen or defined."
Aronov continued:
"The very definition is problematic in my eyes because in a relationship, especially a long one, we know that there are all kinds of moments in life. Sometimes I am allowed to fall and feel weak and have a responsible adult present, and sometimes the opposite—a man is allowed to break down, cry, and feel down, and I am there to be a bit more stable."
In conclusion, she explained:
"Sometimes I want to feel the most feminine and delicate and not have to make decisions, and I am allowed to. And sometimes the opposite—I will channel masculine energy and be more in the 'I want to decide' mode. Everything is dynamic and everything changes, and we are there to balance and allow our partners to be who they want to be."
Alongside her recorded words, Aronov chose to emphasize her message in writing over the video:
"In my eyes, the very definition of how a man or woman should be is problematic. We experience many periods and emotions! Let go of lists; in life, you can feel everything: be strong and weak, know and not know, succeed and also fail. Everyone is allowed to change roles all the time, both men and women."
