[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so weird. Many young women all over the US, and the world, go straight from high school to married life. She doesn't need to go college or get a minimum wage job. She wouldn't even be able to afford living alone with a minimum wage job, so what's the point of her working if her man supports her financially? That's the way women lived in the past, and was the norm in ALL cultures and religions. Being a Stay at home daughter is a thing nowadays too. A lot of young women on social media live like that.[/quote]

That's not what is weird. The weird part is she'd rather be kicked out and homeless than get any job even part-time. That is abnormal.

The point of working is to learn skills and save money btw. If he's dumb enough to fall for this, he won't make much as a lawyer. [/quote]
She's not homeless. She lives with her auntie. She probably really didn't want to live with her parents, if they wouldn't be supportive of her dream to be a SAHM, so decided to move out. That's not weird. [/quote]

NP-It's very weird, and not because she aspires to sah. The reality: she is unemployed, uneducated, and dating a much older student who supports her financially with mystery money, and does not want her to move in with him despite being engaged. Both of them also expect to be included with the aunt's family rather than go on their own vacations. If it's not fake, it's bizarre.[/quote]

I'm sorry but you guys live in a bubble, you simply cannot fathom people making different lifestyle choices than you.[/quote]
