As the resurfaced story continued to spark debate, one controversial response stated, “This is why some men don’t want their wife to be a full-time housewife… just to protect their marriage and sanity.”
This comment reframes a case of personal betrayal as a justification for restricting women’s choices. It implies that staying at home increases the likelihood of infidelity, shifting focus away from individual responsibility and trust.
Infidelity is a matter of character and choice, not employment status. Using one tragic story to generalize marital dynamics oversimplifies complex relationships and risks normalizing control as prevention. Discussions around marriage should emphasize accountability and communication, not assumptions that limit autonomy under the guise of protection.
