Bottom line, it was the status thing that she couldn't shake. If her man didn't have an important enough job for her to be able to brag to other bitches, she's unhappy. He finds a job that she considers respectable, but the hours keep them apart, so she's unhappy about that. That's called adult life bitch. From her description of her own behavior, she's not only immature and selfish, she's also CRAZY. She can still do what 40-something feminists that want kids do - get fertility treatments and hit the sperm bank. She can chalk up the marriage plans.
