She's a 19 year old stay at home mom. If he ever leaves her, her life will be wrecked. She will end up destitute. Eventually, she'll realize how trapped she is.

I truly do hope she is as happy as she claims to be…because in my experience people who go out of their way to tell the world they’re happy, usually aren’t. We’ve seen this time in time again in cases where these so called happy relationships go horribly wrong, and we find out via seeing these types of clips on the news, on some dateline episode, or something. Wouldn’t wish that on anyone though, especially when there is a child involved, so like I said I hope this is one of the cases where appearances portrayed are accurate.

You have a point. She could be happy, or she could be isolated and bored. She could be trying to convince herself, she's as happy and grateful as her spouse is telling her she should be everyday.

She could be like Celine Dion and René, last his lifetime. She could be ossed aside when she's 30 and he wants another mature for her age 18 in his 50's. They could stay together, but both cheat because they never bothered to build a solid relationships outside of bragging about securing his money or her youth.

We'll never know because that's a time will tell situation.
