Tracey Jewel Opens Up on Ex-Husband and Tyson

Married At First Sight star Tracey Jewel has

The reality star appeared on the 2018 season of the Channel Nine juggernaut, where she was paired with series 'villain' , 47.

Tracey, 45, said that seeing Tyson's quest for a 'submissive wife' play out on the screen had forced her to reflect on her own pairing.

'Years ago, I walked into Married At First Sight as a very different woman,' she captioned an image of Tyson on Instagram.

'I was submissive with low self-worth and was desperate for love to prove I was enough.'

She added that her MAFS relationship boasted a similar dynamic, adding that she didn't know what she was getting into at the time. 

'For those that remember, I was matched with a dominant man - the “villain” of our season and at the time, I didn’t understand the dynamic I was stepping into,' she said.

'Watching this new groom Tyson has brought up more memories than I expected, but now I get the pattern.'

Tracey continued: 'When a man says he wants a “submissive wife”, it’s not romance but a power dynamic and today’s version of me would walk away.'

She also urged women in similar relationships to speak up.  

'So many women are taught that shrinking is love and that obedience is partnership,' she said.

'You are allowed to take up space, to have standards and want equality.'

Rounding out her post, which elicited a flurry of support from fans, Tracey said that recognising the dynamic between between Tyson and bride Stephanie Marshall can be a form of 'healing'.

'If you’re watching MAFS and feel a knot in your stomach because it looks familiar, trust that feeling because what we’re reacting to isn’t the show; it can be our own healing.'

Signalling that enough water had passed under the bridge, Tracey replied with a clapping hands emoji. Tracey is pictured with husband Nathan Constable
