Not in that world. I have a passing knowledge of these types of people. Best case storyline is she lands the Neruda fan a job writing for some cable show or soap opera. Worst case is he spends the rest of his life arranging dinner parties for her as she moves from magazines to television to movies.

“... she lands the Neruda fan a job ...”

There is no indication hubby #2 is any more interested in a job than hubby #1 was. She said she couldn’t be proud of her (first) husband because she didn’t like being “the man” in the relationship. And somehow that’s all going to change because the latest loser cleans up well and looks good in a suit?

Why do I get the impression that if the sexes were reversed in this story, you wouldn’t be defending the guy? Say one who dumped his first wife because she was wishy washy and unsatisfied with staying at home, because he was embarrassed to be seen with her by his boss? A man who then took her kid away and married a trophy wife with boutique hobbies. And then did his best to humiliate wife #1 in print as a “beta” wife.

Would you consider such a man harmless and just living his life as he wanted?
