She might look at your life and feel sorry for you though. That's why it's best not to be too condescending about other people's lifestyle choices.
That sort of argument is nothing but gain saying .
People will always judge others by their own yardstick. It is human nature. It is also the whole point of the program. Humans like to think that there is someone worse of than themselves, or further down in societies pecking order.
Also, although Barry was a self proclaimed professional gambler, there was no evidence that he was the one that put a roof over anyones head. All you saw was him handing over a wad of notes in a betting shop. There was no evidence to show he regularly bringing cash home. But his wife worked 50 hours a week (and probably on minimum wage). In my books that makes him a ponce.
So lets reviews the facts. He claims that it was his right to pursue a life of pleasure. He did no legitimate work, therefore contributed nothing to society and the establishment. Did nothing within the home at all. Was driven around and waited on hand and foot. Didn't even buy an anniversary card himself. When asked whether he specifically loved his partner, he danced around the issue and tried to hide behind clever words, which his wife only chose to listen to the parts she wanted to hear. Yes I sure he had a high opinion of her and the rest of the world. Still think he ain't a misogynist?
As for the other couple, they lived specific roles and certainly one was more dominant in some respects than the other, to claim that they did not love each other as much as Barry and his wife is imcomprehensible. They had to daughters tht seemed to be happy with their parents. Barrys step son did his best to avoid him.
The key factor here is living a lifestyle that works in your favour at somebody elses expense. The fact that the individual being exploited is blind to it, doesn't make it right.
