    each treats the other like a commodity and get what they deserve from that

    >> I knew a man who...ordered a bride from overseas. He was morbidly obese ... He was very hurt>>>

    I'm sorry, but I'm not going to feel sorry for the guy just 'cause he's obese. He traded in a human being like cattle, so he gets no sympathy from me.

    He treated her like a commodity, so why should he get mad when she does the same to him?
