Yep, young engagement/marriage (often to someone from your hometown) + kid at a young age + sahm wife = financially stuck with each other |
| Pierce Brosnan's wife has not aged well. There's a meme on the internet where he is called "The Architect" because people joke that he loves fat women and fed/groomed his wife to become like that. |
| What I don’t get is the big fat guys with hot wives. It always bugs me that the wife stays in shape and the man can’t be bothered. |
I suspect I fit the definition a dependapotomous. That is hilarious. |
Usually there is no sex but some mutual agreement/tolerance. Assuming the guy is rich, it's cheaper for him to keep the wife. Sometimes for the sake of the kids. The wife learns to emotionally or physically cheat as a coping mechanism. |
| Dcum makes me realize I live on a different planet than many of you. Is this what you’re all thinking at the pumpkin patch? Is it not enough to just get through the darn thing without any major tantrums? Honestly I couldn’t tell you if the other parents are evenly attractive. They are an all star if they said something funny in the cider donut line. How do you even have the brain space?? |
You are not alone, I promise! |
| My father was super good-looking in college. He was a D1 swimmer at Pitt, and worked part-time as a male model because his parents were very poor. My very average looking trust fund mother, her words not mine, met my father at a party, and she was all over him, LOL. Life turned out great for both my father and mother because she got a good-looking husband and my dad got a great job after graduation because my grandfather was a CEO at the time. Work out great for both of them, and I am so thankful for that. |
| Wow, the "explaining" and "theorizing" by jealous women here is pretty hilarious. Sorry you and your husband are shallow jerks! |
Nah, most people aren't shallow and superficial like the OP, and others in this thread. They'll never be happy... ever, so just keep doing you. |
| I used to be the better looking one but he aged better. |
Georgiana Chapman and Harvey Weinstein. Truly a beauty and the beast situation. |
This really sums up how nasty humans are to each other. Maybe he loves everything about her-let’s talk about the “perfect couple” on Facebook who are only together to keep up appearances and actually despise each other. We have friends like this. |
| There’s a couple like this in our universe. He’s very handsome and successful and she’s successful in her career but not a looker at all. Maybe 10 years ago she was ok but in her mid 40s now, no way. And she is mean as all get out. They hate each other and are both planning their exit strategies. Idk why couples like this stay together for as long as they do. Must be the Porsche and nice zip code. He’ll do much better than her once divorced. He’s at least nice. |
| I guess I know of a few couples where the guy is quite good looking and the wife is plump and sort of frumpy but you can always see in the face that she was lovely in the past. That's not the same as the more frequent situation of beautiful wife and gross husband. |
