Of course there are exceptions but most men like their old traditions and are nostalgic for it... at least later in life if they made different choices. I wonder if that is what they are trying to show here ... the contrast between what he thought he wanted - Rashi / Anita - and what he actually wants and will NOT admit - Gopi.
I agree with you Shelly, but sometimes they want their cake and eat it too, some of them are majorly confused.
Example, and this is from my experience, they want their wives to work outside of home, bring in the money so to speak, but at the same time they want the wife to take care of the household too. They don't want to share responsibility of everday life.
