I'd go further; it doesn't matter where it's trad male / trad wife, lesbian, gay, any kind of polycule or any other relationship. If it makes youall happy, thats nice. If not, Im happy to offer my condolences.

Apart from that, it's none of my / our business.

OMG, yes! THIS! Honestly, if someone wants a "traditional" marriage, what does it matter to me? Living together? Kids? No kids? Love is love. And yep, I'm definitely on board with Walz: "Mind your own damn business!"

Seems that so many of those folks like Vance and his ilk think "freedom" means the freedom to impose their will on everyone else. Serious gaslighting.

Related: I have pondered for decades and still don’t understand how someone else’s marriage has a negative effect on one’s own. How does gay marriage devalue or damage a heterosexual marriage? Do their marriages only have enough meaning if there are fewer marriages in the country? What the actual fuck? The brain, it bleeds trying to comprehend the nonsense.

This is so, so good. Full disclosure here, I admit I find trad wives strangely interesting, in a rubber necking @ a car accident kind of way, since it’s so 1950’s bizarre. I’m 72, & when graduating from high school, this was the acceptable model in my small Montana home town. My guidance counselor actually told me that if I “HAD” to go to college, make it a small one so I could more easily find a husband. My feminism was born that instant, as in WTAF?

Curious if these trad wives will wake up one day & wonder what could’ve been.

Back to your point though, we just need to mind our own business.
