She has to have the latest furnishings, the best vehicles, the best wardrobe, the best of everything. Then she has to show everyone the pictures of her latest purchases. She has a blind spot when you talk about the homeless or others who aren't affluent like her. Its like she just doesn't get it that there are hurting people out there. It hurts our heart to see him have to settle like he has. He has stood up to her before and lets just say that didn't go over very well. He takes his marriage very seriously and feels responsible so he will never leave her. But again, that is his choice. You have to weigh what is more important to you. Just be very very careful on who you select for a lifetime mate.
