It is so weird to hear them talk about it though. He just seems so deeply disrespectful of her to me. I don't get how it can work.
Haven't read the book but the NYT reviewer (to be fair, NYT skews left so I'm not sure they were the target audience for a JD Vance book about becoming a tradcath) said it paints a picture of a deeply insecure man who has no idea who he is.
I actually saw a right winger on twitter say the bit between them on her podcast was awkward because you know damn well if he could do it over again he wouldn't marry Usha. He'd be married to a blue eyed blonde evangelical.
