" Honestly , it ’s of import for women to hear these stories . "

Recently, I wrote an article sharing stories aboutwhat being a “tradwife” was likefor 20th Century women. Being a stay-at-home parent is an amazing experience for many people, and is completely different from being a tradwife. But, if you’ve ever experienced being a stay-at-home wife or a tradwife, and then getting divorced, tell me: what was it like, and how and why did you get out?

If you want to share your day-to-day, I’d love to hear what it was like, from taking care of toddlers by yourself (kudos), to cooking for your family, to having some alone time when the kids were in school. You can share anything that sticks out.

Maybe you found yourself living the actually-not-so-ideal version of a lifestyle that many people idealize. What was it like?

Perhaps you just grew out of it — like in a lot of marriages that come to an end, you and your spouse just grew apart in values and personality.

And the dreaded question: how, and why, did it end? Many tradwives report feelingtrapped, and like they don’t have much agency. Many find that their husbands are controlling, or disloyal. Maybe for you, it was something like that; but maybe it was something totally different. Tell me about it!
