Have you ever asked what she wanted?

This is a true story: a friend of mine married his second wife before she could finish her degree studies.

They had met when she was a student, when he was invited to give a talk about his career.

Their eyes locked & the rest, they say, is history.

Since he is well-to-do, after the marriage he bought her a house with all modern conveniences, a few cars & she was bedecked with jewelry suitable for his/ her/ their status. She is a stay-at-home mom, and takes care of their 3 daughters.

Everything looks settled, yes?

One time we had a chat (me and him), on whether she may be interested to continue her studies (particularly, to finish her degree), because I am an academic and all that. He literally snapped back and said "she's happy where she is, she's not interested/ there's no necessity to continue her degree"

Well, is she?

I wish he would ask her, to be fair.

For all we know she would want to, at some point. Not now, but maybe later?

If she really doesn't want to, then it's great too. If that is her solemn choice.
