You came to realize that marriage is a partnership. Your spouse is your partner, not your mother/father, not your caregiver (unless necessary via illness.)
That’s not really how I would characterize it. This is a second marriage for us both so we knew that going in. But take out the condescension and of course you’re spot on. Point being that still can/ought to hold true even in traditional/patriarchal family dynamics. So these tradwife folks that advocate subservience aren’t even doing their own dynamic right if they make a point of removing the partnership.

Yeah, I take everything back.
You’re an asshole. When she leaves you, you deserve it.
