Romance- Lord Henry and Lady Henry

The relationship between these two is like a really bad novel. Neither of them are obviously happy with themselves. Even Lord Henry says it himself that he does not like marriage and shouldn't have done it. Lady Henry seems like a women that is always trying to find a new man but she can't because she is married, even in the book its said she was usually in love with somebody. But maybe if Lord Henry were more caring for women his wife would be more caring towards him. He is so judgmental towards women. He says basically that women are lower than men. But women were seen back then as lower than men because they seemed I guess kind of needy to men. Which women aren't, men would not be here if it weren't for women so how could they say we were lower than them? If I were Lady Henry I would have left the relationship as soon as I could. But maybe he kept all of his philosophies secret from her. Either way how can you be a married man if you can't accept your wife as an equal presence in the world?
