\u201cWhat do you [guys] think? Do you believe she and Ben are not happy in their marriage?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely not. Jessa, I think was the \u2018prize\u2019 in her community. I think she expected to also marry a \u2018prize,’\u201d one redditor replied, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cI think she has a lot of rage and honestly it\u2019s pretty well founded. I also think Jessa is probably pretty intelligent and clever and I think it\u2019s really sad she was denied a real education and opportunities to flex her wings.<\/p>\nJessa shows off her family in 2022.

He\u2019s not her intellectual equal, he doesn\u2019t help her with the kids or the house and he doesn\u2019t provide financially,\u201d they continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is effectively, another child for her to take care of. Granted I think she likes being able to control him. [Ben] won\u2019t step up and she\u2019ll keep treating him the way she does.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other commenters were quick to agree:<\/p>\nJessa Duggar is receiving some harsh treatment on social media these days. (Photo Credit: YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cTheir relationship is literally a case study in how purity culture and courtship are not just toxic practices, but just plain bad for finding a compatible spouse in general,\u201d one person wrote, adding:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Jessa had been allowed to date him, screw around, and then come to the realization that \u2018Yeah, he\u2019s kinda hot\u2026but what a f**king moron.\u2019 She probably never would\u2019ve married him and met someone who was actually compatible.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Jessa is very smart and made a calculated move in marrying nice but dim Ben,\u201d another observed.<\/p>\nJessa and Ben are in the hospital in this photo, posing with their cute and large immediate family members in 2021. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIn patriarchal societies where men can be extremely controlling, a safe bet is to marry a dim, passive man that you can easily control and won\u2019t dominate you or make you live in terror,\u201d they continued. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see much love in their relationship but Jessa is safe and has complete freedom which is a lot more than most wives in these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s more chemistry between her and Jeremy than her and [Ben],\u201d a third user chimed in, referring to Jinger Duggar\u2019s husband, Jeremy Vuolo.<\/p>\nJessa Duggar loves to post pics of her family, such as this one from 2020.

Needless to say, fans are not optimistic about Jess and Ben\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
But at the end of the day, only the Seewalds know the state of the Seewalds\u2019 marriage!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
