This is a nasty generalization at best, and terrible sexism at worst. Why do you think you know my wife better than me?

What's sexist? I appreciate that my wife is employable and tries to do her best in competitions. That's why I said "spouse".
The divorce thing is true for men specifically: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/000312241665534...
What's nasty? Expecting that people generally value economic capability and competitive ambition in their life partners?
And, true, I don't know your wife. That's why I said to each her own. Still, as a thought experiment, quit your job and watch TV for 24 months solid then tell me how it's going.
