I don’t dislike her because she married that guy. I dislike her because she is an attention wh*re who thinks she is better than everybody. I don’t no why America is obsessed with royals from another country. They are nothing to us. It’s all of them, not just her.

2. I certainly don't hate women who married well, but I do think it's foolish for a woman not to have her own money, whether from her family, her work, etc.

No racist intent. I dislike all of them because they are not our royals and they are nothing to us. She does seem like she needs most of the attention though. We idolize celebs way too much. I dislike her just like I dislike the Kardashians or any other fame wh*re celeb.

Remember DCUM isn’t representative of real life. Most of the people I know don’t even know who Hilaria Baldwin or Priyanka Chopra are, let alone care what they do.

Can we stop calling her Hilaria? She’s not even Spanish. She’s Hilary from Boston. She’s a fake phony fame wh*re.

To me I don't care if they married for money or not, or because they are kind or supportive or funny or handsome. That's your business.

What bugs me is when women speak and behave as though marrying a man with good qualities is evidence that they are more deserving. This is as bad when you're talking about wealth as kindness. Does any woman deserve an unkind partner? Does anyone deserve to struggle financially? To have an unsupportive partner? No. No one deserves that.

So when women act like their husbands are rewards or prizes for "winning", it irks me. I know amazing women who have had to leave abusive relationships, who have married men with gambling problems or mental health issues that didn't emerge until years later, who turned out to have controlling or abusive family members that they are now stuck with. Those women didn't deserve any of that -- it's just life sometimes.

If you married "well", whatever that means to you, count your blessings and shut your mouth. You got lucky and if you don't see that, better watch out for when bad luck sneaks up on you too.

This is really interesting. I am the one you quoted (I judge people who marry only for money) and I also agree 100% with what you are saying.
Serious question, what do you think about women who don't care about how loving or much they love/like their partner, but only care about social status and wealth, and not if their to-be partner is a good person with whom they have a genuine connection? And then after the marriage that person is not a great guy, workaholic, etc. etc. and they don't have a good marriage and the woman is unhappy b/c she still doesn't love her husband?

I don't dislike them for "marrying well" -- I hope everyone who wants a partner finds a good one. I dislike them for being obnoxious about how their marriage offers them more economic power than other women they know. It's a fundamentally misogynist attitude and is just gross.

There was a woman in another thread recently who explained that her she didn't have to work and was able to travel extensively with her husband when he traveled on business, and how that made another woman jealous. And then she said a bunch of snide stuff about how that woman was miserable in her job and was probably making her husband miserable too. It was just incredibly judgmental and smug. I can't stand women like that. If you are fortunate in who you married, be thankful for your good fortune. Acting smug makes you look so small and petty.

I know a FB contact who is constantly flouting wealth. Pictures of expensive vacations with innocuous captions about her dog or her fab home or backyard with the Mountain View. She didn’t earn any part of it. Everyone gets what she’s up to but they play along.

Priyanka Chopra married down. She’s not a good example here.

The Jonas brother is the one who married well. She's richer and way more famous globally.
