Based on the scant information provided by Lilly, it sounds like her husband isn’t a “kept” man, but that he works longer hours and earns less money than her. It’s tough to get a read on the situation without knowing what kind of work he does, but I would suggest to Lilly that she consider the social value of her husband’s job (does he teach; is he in law enforcement?), and give him props for that whenever he is feeling a little insecure.
