Re: This is serious!
^ Who says he’s not providing financial security for his family? From what I get, her family are nouveau riche/nau-daulatia, and she now has a superiority complex because of it.
I did not read that he was unable to support the family, though, yes reading between the lines, likely not to the same standard as her maikay waalay - why should a difference in standard of living be a bone of contention between the husband and the wife?
Some people don’t aspire to be wealthy in worldly terms - why should that be held against him if he can nevertheless provide financially security for his family?
