I'll tell y'all something else on this subject.
My oldest son (really my stepson but I don't usually say that) married a pretty hefty gal when both were in their 20s. We talked about it privately, we thought she going to be a big woman. She was only 20 at the time.
She is now the size of a barn (figuratively speaking). But she a prize. Everything has been about him all her life. He had a really good job but started having health problems and he went back to driving a truck. He wanted her to quit her job just 2 or 3 years short of retirement (government job, they aren't retirement age) and I argued against it. wanted her to stay until she got the retirement and then go. But what do MILs know? He said if she didn't go they would both be stocking shelves at WalMart.
She quit and went. She rides with him, cooks in the truck, does laundry at truck stops, and has done it for years. I don't know how she does it. She bought a kindle because she likes to read and her computer will operate in the truck.
He is a good looking guy. I'd post a picture but he might get mad if he knew I did that--not that he'd ever know. But he really is good looking. And he's the best balanced and happiest married man I know and I'm not making that up. I watch this and I wonder if the rest of the male population is messed up. No kidding. I sometimes think we are all brainwashed with the values we pick up from watching movies and TV all our lives.
