Women in white-collar medicine (nurses, too to a slightly lesser extent) have a real problem where they build up an ego from being surrounded by high-flying ‘successful’ male doctors in a stressful, isolated pressure cooker of a workplace for days on end.
In the end she comes home to her stay-at-home hubby after playing doctor around $500,000/yr guys feeling like she could do better - all because everyone at work is probably telling her she deserves to do better - and before you know it she’s banging her “work husband”
I know it can work, conceivably, but the guy can’t let himself slip. He can hang even if she makes more than him, but he’s going to have to be cooler/more popular/more likable/charismatic/etc so that she never starts getting into that habit of looking elsewhere.
A lot of the pilots-married-to-pilots have this crap too. IDK how they do it, freaks me out. The smart ones take the monetary hit and let her stay at home while the kids are young, and then go back to work when they’re older (and she’s hopefully more settled in the wife/mom role, scaffolded by the community)
