Megan Fox officially files for divorce from Brian Austin Green
I just saw this news this morning. Megan Fox was married to Brian Austin Green. She has been pretty successful over the past 5-7 years whereas his success was in the 90s.
This line in the article stood out.
For millennia, the men have been the bread winners of the family and they pride themselves on that. Most men consider their jobs to be a very important part of their identity if not the most important, and base their self worth on their career success. In families where the wife is more successful and makes more money, I have always wondered how the husbands take it? They may make politically correct statements, but what do they feel deep inside? Do they feel worthless? Do they feel like their wives now order them around (even if she isn't)?
We know a few couples where the wife is very successful and the husband is not, and in all those relationships, the men are laid back, unambitious and exhibit traditionally wife-like behaviors. Highly beta. These women probably would not be happy with another alpha man since they are very alpha themselves.
In this case. Austin-Green was a popular actor, so still might be hurting inside that he is probably now known as "Megan's husband". Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe were another such couple where her career shot up and his floundered and then they ended up divorcing.
How do many women look at their husbands when they are less successful than themselves? Lose respect? At least in our circles, the wives get togther and discuss (and gloat) about their husbands careers and promotions and titles, but the husbands never do so.
PS: I am talking in generalized and "most probable" terms, so there will be examples to prove things in either direction.

| TMZ claims Fox will most likely have to shell out spousal support to Green because she's been the bigger breadwinner in the family for a number of years. |
