    My brother tells that story. His wife had a career also and could make much more money if she switched job locations. But he now has to pay her because she won’t move.

    The truth is she did have a career and it was sidelined by their children, while his was not, and he continued up the ladder. She could move(like they did for his career once already, as a family) but doing so takes the children more than 100 miles away and she could lose custody and/or child support for breaking the parenting agreement.

    Generally my brothers an ok guy, but his vision and view on this is objectively wrong, and viewed through a lense the divorce created in him.

    Guess which version everyone in his small town knows, and what gets repeated…
