There is something to be said for the woman that sees the best in her husband and not as the “geek” with great earning potential. (Incidentally, being 'geeky' isn't necessarily a put-down.) Personally, I’d rather live in a trailer filled with love than a McMansion filled stuff.

Maybe she has both. A McMansion filled with love. That's be cool. Not going through a sh*tty first marriage, misery and heartbreak to learn what would make her happy is OK with me, too, if she loves the guy, no matter how flippant she may appear.

If she is a Hufpo plant, it will come out. She sounds fairly young, and lucky, but we make our own luck to a point, too, and that includes smart choices. Taking care of herself is just good practice, sound mind, sound body and all that. Not getting hitched to some pretty boy loser seems smart too, and if the guy who really cared was 'geeky', that isn't a bad thing either.

If she keeps herself in shape to please him, more power to her--I can't tell you how much how many guys would appreciate that.

I have not, in the time I have been here, seen anyone so excoriated for making good choices. Sheesh.

I am downright happy that some people don't have to learn the hard way, unlike some of us who did.

It gives me hope for my nine granddaughters, three grandsons, and my great granddaughter. Maybe a few of them will likewise avoid the pitfalls and get it right the first time.

Many are not so fortunate.

Ya know I respect you Joe, but on this one, I can’t agree with you.

IF, and that’s a big if, this chick is not a plant, she is like many of the ladies I know who were born in the late 70’s, early 80’s. It’s all about them. They get the guy, thinking they are God’s gift, then demand the “stuff” they left behind at Moms. The guys work like dogs while they live their entitled life, with hair and nail appointments and the kids are dumped into soccer and ballet. Whining the whole time about how (pick one) stupid, lazy, or disgusting their husband is. Their world is them. Hubby is doing laundry while she sits on her cell and tells her friends on Facebook how put upon she is.

She told us how wonderful she is and how she is such an asset. Basically, if she is for real, she’ll dump the hubby as soon as she no longer needs to be a SAHM. I’ve seen it happen MORE than once.

Nice life. I’ll stick with my covenant marriage.
