OMG The egg apron what the hell 😂 How utterly disappointing. As an old, tired woman I get the appeal and temptation of wanting to be taken care of by someone else. But that's just because I have been taking care of myself all my life. I wasn't even supported when I was married.

People can choose however they want to live of course, but whatever relationship concept one subscribes to, each person needs to be truly seen and held and known, LOVED basically - not just 'taken care of' in a material sense. As Bell Hooks said, care doesn't always include love by default. Just because you put a roof over someone's head doesn't mean you love them.

This man clearly does not know his wife, isn't curious about her and doesn't know what she wants and needs or he simply doesn't care about it, even if he heard what she said. Having a 'breadwinner' means nothing if you're emotionally starved.

She is a a tradtional mormon woman seeking attention and external validation for regurgitating antiquated ideology that does nothing to advance culture or socity. A traditional wife would have her ass on that tractor helping her husband, not talking shit on social media about how trad she is.
