单集简介 ...

In this episode, the Sugars take two questions on the dynamics of gender, power, and love — one from a man and one from a woman. A young man struggles with jealousy when his girlfriend gets a career opportunity he wants for himself, and a woman finds she's no longer attracted to her husband now that he's not the breadwinner.

  • Dear sugar is supported by.

  • Hi, Steve.

  • Hi, Cheryl.

  • Welcome to the female power episode.

  • I'm so excited about this.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • Absolutely.

  • As somebody who's married to a powerful female and was raised by one.

  • Yes, here we are.

  • And the letters we're going to consider today, on one hand, they express a sort of reality that, you know, I'm not in either of the situations that we're going to discuss.

  • And yet the issues around them are things that have come up over and over in my life as a girl in this culture that is really uncomfortable with ambitious girls, and as a woman in this culture that's really ambivalent about successful and strong women.

  • And never has this come up, I guess, more acutely than over these last few years, since Wilde did go and become a bestseller.

  • So many times I've been asked, and my husband Brian has been asked, how are you guys handling this as a couple?

  • And what they mean by that?

  • What they'll say is, how is Brian doing?

  • Poor Brian, who had the great misfortune to be married to me over these years of my success.

  • And it's really a two pronged question.

  • And the letters we're going to answer today address both of these prongs.

  • One is, is he jealous?

  • Is he threatened?
