Hi, I’ve recently stumbled onto this sub and wanted to say hello and perhaps get some introductory advice. I’ve (33F) recently ended my marriage which was, on paper, very ‘progressive’. I was the breadwinner, in charge of most of our decisions, planned and decided almost everything. This is what I thought I wanted when we first got together but I’ve changed significantly over the years, or perhaps just woken up to what I really wanted.

Ultimately I have realised that I am looking for a male led / controlled relationship with much more traditional gender roles embedded. I am starting to seek this out in dating, but also wanted to hear from women who have been through this journey themselves. So any advice on how to embrace this, be a better girlfriend and ultimately traditional wife or partner would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you and looking forward to reading through more of the posts on here too!
