yeah, that's the thing. Countless people don't work, outside the home, even people who aren't stay at-home parents or otherwise busy and pccupied. Not just retired and disabled folks, but, like, people who don't have to. My (personal, irrelevant) discomfort with this couple's division of in-home labor aside, the staying at home isn't inherently weird.
But LW does seem to think of themselves as a trophy wife -- that is, as a young, sexy adornment to a rich man who increases the rich man's consequence by sexily existing. And if that's the case, something is wrong.
Unless they just aren't a great writer, and don't know how to say "my partner was rich enough for me to quit, and so I did" as if that weren't a dream for so many people.
