I know several couples like this in real life. It's a certain type of man who wants to feel like a "manly man" in the relationship, so they want a woman who is docile, pretty, doesn't challenge them, and relies on them financially. I kind of get their thought process. I'm sure he gets plenty of intellectual stimulation from his daily work and friends, and probably doesn't need or want more intellectual discussions when he gets home. Also, he has high income and doesn't need a partner to help provide. So he chooses someone who provides a pleasant home life and lets him de-stress when he gets home.KnocksRacks wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 9:34 pmCultivating and educationally enriching her school-age children takes too much time away from more noble pursuits - like bedazzled cowhide. I made a comment a few pages back suggesting that she does not appear to be emotionally atuned to her children in the ways that most (healthy) mothers are. Her interactions with them lack warmth, almost like she is a glorified babysitter. Keeping them fed, clothed and alive. I am often curious about what her husband saw in her. Typically Asian male medical professionals chose to marry their intellectual equals and definitely do not support copious consumption to this level. It's not a good look to give off the appearance of being driven by money and status in a profession regarded as "noble" as medicine. It would be important for his children not to model those habits. Perhaps it's cheaper to keep her with the understanding she won't blast his mug to the world on camera.ChasingUnicorns wrote: ↑Wed Apr 29, 2020 12:54 pmIn that video, she didn’t really homeschool either. She just showed a random puzzle. I feel sorry for the example she’s setting especially the girl.
Another common thing I've noticed about these couples is they all met when they were younger (like in college). Love is more innocent and stronger when you're younger...there's a strong implicit trust there. If you meet someone in your 30s, they probably wouldn't tolerate you buying $6000 bags every two weeks. But if you were with them since college, when they had no money yet, and you were with them through tough times in school and when they were first establishing their careers, they trust you and know that you aren't just in it for the money.
