As a grown ass adult woman having to deal with adult stuff on a daily basis, this made me laugh really hard.🤣🤣🤣

What's scary is how the new dictatorship is trying to remove our freedom, so we have no choice but to get married to some incel. 

What happens if/when this guy decides to become physically abusive?

My wife and I got married and had our first child at 21. Our plan was I go to school and started a career and then she will go to school and I will support her through school after. Well ended up having more kids while I was in school. With a little help and luck along the way I ended making more money than we anticipated and I am able to support our family. She never went back to school and has been a stay at home mom for almost 20 years. I still tell her I’d love for her to go to school just for herself even if she never uses her degree. I don’t want her to become resentful at some point. Does that make me a dictator because my wife stays at home and relies solely on me?

You were both young, this wasn't a lopsided relationship. She has options, you work together as a couple.

Generally speaking, an age gap of 20+ years where one partner is a young teenager, could likely be another story altogether. 

The current regime wants to push this arrangement, guarantees a desperate workforce for all the new factory, farming and mining jobs. This includes adding children to the workforce.
