    Fuck man. I’d love to be in his position lol.

    Wife rich as fuck, hot as fuck, and all I gotta do is:

    1. support her and be taken around the world by her

    2. have sex with her

    3. stay at home and play with the kids and toys?

    Have you seen the toys kids have now? That shit is fire and a thousand times better then the shit I had as a kid.

    Homey is jealous that the grind he on didn’t come with a heavy dose of luck, and all he’s got is a Twitter Account run by a non-sleeping, ketamine dosing nazi.

      Have you watched the show Mad Men? The whole Betty Draper (January Jones) story arc shows how much that lifestyle falls apart in the long run.

      What you described? Sounds like an amazing vacation for a week or two. But then as the months and years drag on, and your high-flying career spouse is never around, shit really starts to set in. That life is lonely AF!

      Sure, it’s great to be with your children, take care of them, teach them and bond with them. But small children do not provide the social and mental outlet that an adult needs.

      There’s a reason so many tradwives pull the ripcord after a few years. No one should ever feel like a prisoner in their own home.

        Did we watch the same show? I think you’re ignoring the incredible amount of cheating that was occurring and how much that contributed to it all as well as that other big secret that’s spoilerish.

          She was miserable long before she found out about the cheating. If he was pulling late nights at the office instead of at his mistress’s apartment the outcome would’ve been the same.

          Really, as much as it hurt her to discover the cheating, it woke her up and gave her the strength to change her life.

            Are you married or ever have been?

            Marriage can take a lot of forms and can endure a lot of challenges but lying is a universal deal breaker.

            Regardless, claiming some fictious marriage didn’t work out therefore someone can’t/wouldn’t be happy in a situation that exists in the real world is a weird assertion.

            It feels like you’re closer to the side with the people calling the father the mother.

        I was a stay-at-home dad twice. I found it very fulfilling both times.

        Maybe don’t turn to fiction to figure out what reality is like?
