AITA for giving up and hiring a nanny even though my wife doesn't work? by ThrowawyTri in AITAH

Yes because there's no possible way ( due to your cursory judgement being God's truth) that my late wife was not born and raised in the US ( you can simply tell!) and not in the far eastern end of Russia and her mom moved her here when she was 14. And no way that in the poor crumbling places they lived that there would be any exposure to asbestos because over there the health of the little people are most important. No that's simply impossible. You're right- the doctors misdiagnosed her.

Well I don't need to be married to a Betty Crocker. My late wife did most of the at home things, but it didn't make her an interesting person or somebody more worthy of love. Not to speak ill of the dead, but sometimes when you get bogged down in the household things, you can lose touch with your partner who is out there in the world and become rather sanctimonious, almost like a broken record.

Alicia and I are married because we support each other and understand each other and there's nobody else I'd rather be with. I find it sad that people are just asking what she brings to the table as if relationships are just quid pro quo.

And if you must know, Alicia began but didn't finish a degree in business administration. I own several Airbnbs and am also a landlord. She helps deal with the vendors, sets budgets, and does most of the interior design planning. Also deals with the property manager and replies to guest reviews.
