Now which guy will actually gripe about that? ok, maybe he would since he is so dumb. oh i dont know. u got me all confused now😆
Why confused? You
( IMO) are not trying to think like a compartatively lesser accomplished man married to this rocking hot and smart gal who is praised by the world for her SOH, outstanding job and probably personality too.
She sees something in the man that is outstanding, yet something that is not for the world to notice 😛.
Unless she keeps harping on THAT what makes him so outstanding and the only man she'd breathe to be with, insecurities are bound to arise.
Males (majority), by nature, are supposed to be the protectors and providers. They fight for being Alpha- their DNA be the only DNA passed throught their females. Their female dare not look at another male who may woo her. These are natural insticts.
Bums getting everything served to him on a gold platter is not free of his INSTINCTS. That is why troubles arise I think. Now if you already think you are way up there and that the woman cannot do better than you, then you cannot enter the mindset of this man- and hence, will get confused. Wear his shoes and then look for threats around. Look for insecurities within and see how the relationship begins to get affected.
Lbntl, BUM may happily snore away to glory in the arms of his loving angel, but males surrounding the BUM will be jealous and work on snatching happiness away from him.
I think an isolated bum may have lesser chances of feeling insecure. It is thus best imo to marry/ live-in with someone who'd be similar in terms of achievements and yet complement each other and know each other's limitations. Knowing down-sides of each other helps both the egos from riding above their mutual love and respect. After all, even the smartest and the sweetest person could be the dumbest in some aspects of intelligence :)
