It's not just women who see men as having the potential to be a provider - my husband is also keen to be a provider. He's said that he's worked long and hard enough that he likes to be able to have me at home running the house so that he can just come home and relax at the end of the day.
Just as well he's got this attitude because I'm very limited in my work abilities as I have to also care for our disabled son. Heaven knows how we'd manage if he didn't have the attitude of wanting to provide.
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
