Scenario

When couples fall into traditional provider roles they never chose

My husband and I have been together 15 years and we're fighting constantly about money but it's not really about money — it's about him feeling like he has to be the provider and me feeling guilty for wanting things we can't afford. We both work but somehow we've fallen into this ancient dance where he hunts for income and I gather the deals and we're both exhausted and resentful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The oldest human partnership — one who hunts, one who gathers — has reasserted itself in ways that feel both natural and suffocating.
