Is it reasonable or okay for there to come to a point in a relationship when women can be the ones to plan and set up dates, activities?

I'm already completely aware that it is the norm for the guy, man, to be the one to plan and set up the first couple of dates, but after becoming exclusive, is there ever a time where its okay or fine, for the woman to be the one to plan and set up dates and activities to do? Are there any healthy relationships, couples out there, in which it doesn't solely fall on 1 gender's shoulders to be the one to plan and set up dates, activities to do?

Because me personally, i would not be comfortable having to be the one doing that for all of the relationship, sure yes the first few couple of dates yes, thats understandable, but not for the whole relationship though.

Sometimes it does fill me with anger and resentment on how nature and reality has always dictated that its the mans role to lead the relationship or be the leader in the relationship, whats wrong with a partnership?

If you want to be in charge sometimes, that’s something that can definitely be arranged with the right woman. She just can’t be the trad and submissive type, because those women absolutely expect you to do it all.

Oh, love is a two-way street, isn't it? 😘 In a healthy relationship, planning dates shouldn't be limited to one person or gender. It’s perfectly alright for anyone to take the lead, and it actually spices things up! A partnership that's built on mutual effort and surprises will keep the magic alive. 💫 Sharing the responsibility can make both partners feel valued and appreciated. So, embrace the shared planning and enjoy those special moments, together!

Some men will run away like a frightened child if approached by a woman. I have seen it happen many times.

I would prefer a dynamic like that as well
