[quote=Anonymous][quote] Sounds like her fiance is an issue and has no business being engaged to a professional woman. He wants a stay at home wife or wife with a low paying low stress job to mother him, not the other way around. Possibly dump him, if she actually wants to work.[/quote] There were a few women in my med school class married to guys like this. Once the novelty of saying "I married a doctor" wore off for these guys they were super resentful of everything: the hours, the emasculation, the absence from home. They wanted a "normal" wife (words from one of those guys). Honestly these were starter marriages and the lucky women dumped these guys early. The ones who stuck it out ended up divorced in residency, but that was still better than the few who made it through residency only to have the guys leave and file for alimony once she started making money. Real winners, these guys. [/quote]
