Abstract

Based on the conceptualization of social places and gender mandates, autobiographical fragments are analyzed, obtained through semi-structured interviews, which claim positions in heterosexual and urban couple relationships. These claims show that the expectations and norms about being a man and a woman with a partner become more complex in everyday life and are manifested in situations of discussion or conflict. Couples face multiple tensions and resistances around the duty of each of their members, encouraged by couple ideals that maintain male privileges in the control of commitment and sexuality, condemn extramaritality, favor joint provisioning, but not co-responsibility in the home and in the care of children.
