“ Besides, when you think about it, the but-she’s-beautiful thing is also, at its core, kind of dismissive of Elin. As Glamour’s executive editor Jill Herzig points out, “it makes it sound like we assume that her looks were the major thing gluing her to her husband, and we’re just shocked the glue couldn’t hold. We exclaim ‘but she’s so pretty!’ when it would be much more respectful to say ‘but she’s raising their two kids!’” Amen to that. Elin is by all accounts a grounded person, smart woman and great mom—those are the reasons she, like all of us, deserves a man who values her.
