This happened to a good friend of mine whom I know from high school. I'll recount the story, and you let me know what you think. Currently he's a truck driver who earns around 67K per year. He met a woman some years back who was down on her luck. She was working as a waitress. I don't know the exact amount of her pay, but it wasn't diddly squat. It was poverty wages. But he saw something in her and started seeing her. Then eventually, since he really liked her, he invited her to move in. Not long after, they got married. He told her she didn't have to ever go back to her crappy job. He would take care of her. She could be a housewife if she wanted to. Just keep the place clean and tidy, and cook meals for them. That was her job, and no outside job was needed.
So she did that for a while, and did a satisfactory job. However, a couple years passed by, and she decided she wanted more out of life than being the housewife of a truck driver. She wanted to go to law school. So he paid her way through law school. She would keep house during the day and study, and would go to law school at night. Eventually, she got through it, and went on to pass the bar. She was a lawyer, exactly what she had dreamed about.
With her very first job, her starting salary was just above his. I don't remember the exact figures, but it was something like he was pulling in 64K at the time and she started at 65, something like that. The thing to remember was she was making more than him, and that was just her starting pay. She moved up after she proved herself an effective lawyer. Finally, she was pulling in 85K compared to his 67K.
So then she goes on social media opening her big fat mouth about her relationship and how she feels it's stagnant, and get this, she feels like she's "under-married" (whatever that crap means). She feels like she deserves to be with a man on her level (in other words, on her income level). So the women on the forum all gush all over her, saying she shouldn't sell herself short, that her standards were reasonable, and blah, blah, blah. Most women took her side, and very few men posted. The ones who did called her words I can't post here.
So she got her wonderful advice from her female friends, and now she's in the process of divorcing him. I spoke with him a couple nights ago, and he's totally destroyed. She's already moved out, and he feels the walls caving in. The one good thing about her making more money is he's not going to end up owing her any alimony. She might even have to pay him something. There are no kids, so there's no child support. But it's not about the money. He's emotionally destroyed. He was known as a tough guy in school, but I got to listen to him sobbing. He had never been with anyone in years, but then he saw something in someone who was down on her luck, and he helped her. He trusted her fully and thought she would never do anything like this. She wouldn't be a lawyer if it hadn't been for him. He rescued her from a life suffering in a hole, and even paid for her education. And this is how she repays him. As soon as she makes more than him, she thinks she's better than him. He had thought she would start earning good money, and then the two of them together would be doing great with both their incomes. They could simply be grateful, and enjoy the rest of their lives together, being able to afford great vacations together.
You can post your views on what you think of her. The women on her online group all thought she was doing the right thing, and that she needs to be "true to herself," and "don't be ashamed of your high standards", and blah blah blah. It made me want to throw up. I personally think there should already be a spot in the deepest, cruelest, most miserable level of hell reserved for her. When she dies, she deserves to go there and suffer and be reminded every day of how she betrayed a man who was good to her. And all her social media friends who encouraged her should join her there. I think she's the most rotten, greedy, and disgusting person I've ever known. But I could be wrong.
You let me know what you think. Do you agree with me that she's a terrible person or do you agree with that SM ladies that she was just being "true to herself." If I had the power to, I would send her to spend the rest of her life in whatever the worst prison in the country is, maybe the one at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
