why are you defending this guy? She was talking about a future goal to want to stay home with kids and he said she wasn't pretty enough for that!!??? what makes you think he was of such upstanding noble character and working his a$$ off for his family when that is obviously not what he wanted to be doing.
I think it was a conflict that was better to surface before marriage but all we know about it is that she is burnt out and he handled the whole thing very immaturely
Repubocrat is just a kid, it turns out. He has no perspective on life. Not worth getting worked up about.
She presented what she wanted - which is a pretty acceptable arrangement to a lot of families - and he responded by demeaning her appearance and her worth. That is just despicable.
The OP basically make the decision that her husband makes enough money, according to her twisted logic. If a woman ever came up to me and told me that 60K was enough money, I would be offended and pissed off "Who the hell are you to tell me I make enough money?"
I am the kind of person that has hard times believing this is the entire story because as you know, when a woman tells you a story, it is always her honest and unbiased view of the situation
I have heard the same BS, sob stories from a lot of women, "Oh yeah, my husband was such a terrible guy!" and I was this poor innocent angel who did everything right and was always treated like garbage, yeah right!
Not a sob story. It wasn't a terrible relationship. He was a really nice guy other than our disagreements on our future together. We didn't see eye to eye on finances (he has a shopping habit and takes care of his adult sister and brother's family financially, which would drive me crazy because they had a sob story every week) and careers which led to our dissolution. He was too nice at times and for me. I felt we were becoming a family and I wanted him to concentrate his efforts on us not his pathetic spoiled siblings that had grown used to him giving them a weekly allowance. That last argument really stuck with me. It wasn't like my proposal was twisted logic, it's called financial management. I came up with the plan. I set up his investments, retirement and budgets. I knew what we could afford. I added a lot of value to the relationship and since he couldn't do the same ending it was for the best.
Not a sob story yet coming on here proclaiming all men are useless? yaaa whatever

You were not family to him, but his siblings are. It's his money to do with what he pleases, even if he blows it all on candy.

Yeah, that stuck in my craw. What a sh*tty thing to say... y'know, if a man came out and said something similar about women he would be doused and set alight in a flash... no question.

All the better reason to dump the jerk. If the person you are engaged to marry and spend your life with dosent consider you family and isnt concerned about your combined financial future, geesh, better to be single. Let him and his siblings eat candy.

Its sad people feel that way but there are reason they do. Just as so many men here on CD have expressed how they feel all women are useless. Perhaps in her experiences men have become useless to her.

People like that should learn to get comfortable being alone. Not that there's anything wrong with being alone.

Definitely, I agree with that 100%.
Another thing people should learn is that being in a relationship =/= being supported simply because they make more money than you.
