replied to your post “TBH if you married a rich dude to be supported”
Woman shouldnt be judge for marrying a rich man and expecting him to be a decent human being
Here’s the thing though, if he’s supporting you, and he’s rich. He’s essentially paying you to be married to him. Now he’s rich, he’s not paying you for domestic labor, he can hire a housekeeper and a cook if he wants and if he’s that rich, he’s specifically choosing to marry a woman who cannot earn as much as he does supporting her through education or whatever…okay maybe, but if he’s saying “okay, you stay home” he’s choosing that for a reason and that reason isn’t “he loves you and wants to take care of you” that reason is power. The reason will always be power.
Like happening to end up taking care of your partner is one thing, and it’s also a very different thing for a working class or like non-rich person to support their partner (which is usually because the domestic labor is helpful), but if you’d be screwed without them but they wouldn’t be screwed without you, there’s a pretty obvious power dynamic and I feel like people like to pretend love conquers all and transcends class barriers and all that, but it doesn’t, money’s still a thing, power’s still a thing and like the person with power over you, even if they were a super good, super benevolent person (which if they’re rich, given the way the world works, they’re probably not source included) they’re still human so what do you think’s going to happen when you have a fight? What do you think’s going to happen when they feel underappreciated, or like they’re not getting all the love and attention they deserve (and are used to because they’re rich and used to getting their way)?
Also science proves rich people are straight up bad people:
A source on cross class marriages
A book on the wives of rich men
Rich people are straight up more likely to lie cheat and steal
Powerful (and rich) men are more likely to cheat
“Men were also more likely to cheat if they made significantly more than their spouses, while women who made a lot more than their husbands were less likely to be unfaithful.
“
Men with stay at home wives are more sexist
Rich people are literally willing to steal candy from children
And they think it’s good that they behave this way
Expecting a rich man not to cheat is like expecting a sheep not to eat a flowerbed.
Actually expecting a rich man to simply behave like a decent human being ever is frankly asking a bit much. So like marry rich by all means, but don’t make the mistake of trusting the fucker.
