Call me schizo but there are people who look at another person’s success, and want to steal it for themselves in a way that’s very demonic. She has blocked him from being successful and very obviously harvested a lot of his energy like a literal cackling Negaverse villain from Sailor Moon. Him looking exhausted and having all his success evaporate is exactly what you’d expect in a case like this.
she will come up with some kind of allergy or other very niche and special reason (because of course she is the special medical case) and force Ian to get rid of the dogs.
TLDR - Women being told to place financial success over romantic/family success makes them succubi
I've noticed this is a reoccurring theme in heterosexual relationships, with the woman resenting the man's success. The Jomhas are a great example. Another is Bill Burr whom gave up his dog for his wife. If you read Burr's wife's vlog half of it is going on about how it's nice to have a rich man that supports her, BUT she is missing something and longs for her own success to the point of resentment. Of course, being a mother isn't something she considers to be her own form of success. No, she wants to be the one with the A list Hollywood career. Instead of being thrilled that she has a loving successful husband who gives her the world, she resents him. There was one sentence she wrote I'll paraphrase -
What am I supposed to do for my life? Get my nails done, get facials, go on vacation, and shop? What about me? You can't make this stuff up lmfao.
Hell, I was watching an episode of Bar Rescue the other day (great show to see some USA failures) and there was this boomer couple. The husband made shit loads of money with a cookie recipe, they retired early, and while they were traveling around the Caribbean, out of nowhere, the wife says she wants to open a rum bar named "Latitudes." So they open the bar, it's a failure, and obliterates a decent chunk of their life savings. I'm thinking wtf lady, just enjoy your rich husband and coast. But no, she wanted "her thing."
Ever since the 1970's women have been receiving the message that their career success takes precedent over maintaining a loving family/marriage. Many women have success in the later, but go insane because their subconscious says they aren't girl bossing hard enough, that they should be surpassing their husband's career.
Hetero single ladies, here's some advice that is hard to swallow. Men do not give a fuck about your career success. In fact, it is more likely to impede you finding a partner. If you truly want find love, your career will probably have to take a backseat or just go the way of the buffalo. Men have to feel like they are providing and protecting you in order to thrive in a partnership. If you don't need them, they get all wormy and insecure. It doesn't mean quit your job or whatever. Just know, that if you really want to find a sustained happy committed relationship, a high powered career and college degrees are not going to help you in any way. Prospecting men don't even give a fuck if you're employed.
Also, yes, Anisa is totally gonna make Ian abandon his dogs within a couple years.
