[quote=Anonymous]Well, what the OP is saying and what the other poster is describing as coercive control during Covid are two totally different things. Those are two different posters, right? Or am I confused?

All that said, there is a big difference between a dullard and someone who is actually engaging in major manipulation. I also cannot tell how old these people are.

I can imagine a world in which my family might think I married someone not as smart as me. But, my husband is amazing even if he isn’t Ivy League like me (which is a totally dumb way to decide who is “smart”). But, he brings incredible partnership to the table, we have lots of fun and make each other laugh, etc. We have been married almost 20 years and I wouldn’t trade him in for some “gunner” that makes a ton of money. I make a ton of money and couldn’t have moved up in the way I did without his partnership (unless I didn’t have kids).

At the end of the day, your brilliant daughter is choosing this. And you raised her. I made one huge relationship mistake in my late 20s, and the reality is that the mess I was in was based a lot on the dynamic I saw with my parents. Luckily, I made my way out of that one without marriage or kids. [/quote]
