Ide maybe you should marry someone with better prospects than yourself, problems solved.

Disagree.  He isn't the sort to hide his jealousy, and being openly jealous of your wife is a ticket to a shitty marriage.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I dunno, I'm sure he'd come to terms with it after a while like Otto.

The secret is to get in early, and then you can view it as an "investment" that is paying off over time, instead of like you've been hired by a "daddy."

They're not mutually inconsistent.

If I lived in 1859, I'm pretty sure I could make both these statements with complete honesty and without cognitive dissonance:
"Slavery is bad."
"I am glad I am not a slave."

That's because that isn't an apt comparison. You need to change the last line to something of the degree of wishing to be a master.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yep.  Plenty of the founding fathers thought that slavery was bad, yet owned slaves.
