I agree that the question further up did come off as rather paternalistic in a bad way but their central point has merit: by continuing to support his wife's decision to work in that environment, doesn't that make him an enabler for the abuse?
- NateEag 5y agoIt's not clear to me how the OP has interacted with his wife in reality, and I don't have interest in judging them. In the abstract, though, I think yes, if you see someone being abused repeatedly and you support and encourage them to continue going back to the abusive relationship, you are enabling the abuse.
- anotherman554 5y agoI think your question presumes among other things that the wife has better career options and/or no need for money, or we have a better idea than the wife what career is best for her. I don't think any of us have any idea what the facts of the situation is. So it's not clear to me anyone is "enabling" anything.
