[quote=Anonymous]I know Jane Austen loved to poke fun at this trope what with the portrayal of couples such as Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice  but I am amused when I see this type of pair in real life.  I know one couple in my extended couple where the husband is actually a very nice man. He has a great job which is high prestige and makes a lot of money. He seems sensible, mature and sophisticated. Just an all around good man to have a conversation with. He is married to this woman who seems to be his opposite in every way except for the fact that the two of them are so attractive, fit and good looking. He reads serious books and is obsessed with economics and finance, she reads chick-lit and obsesses over Kate Middleton's latest coat so she can buy it. He is practical and kind, she is a princess who walks around like she is Kate Middleton's sister. She is snobby and has champagne tastes and is rude to anyone she deems not on her social level. She can also be mean to him in public.

I wonder what they talk about or what he found interesting in her besides her good looks. I know why she married him. She gets everything she ever wanted growing up a lower middle class girl. High social status, the right house in the right zip code and all the designer wear she ever dreamt of.

I am just so confused. This seems like something out of a society novel. [/quote]
