'Real Housewives of Potomac': Fans convinced Ray is 'mad' at Karen because she isn't dependent on him anymore

'Ray’s a** is mad that Karen isn’t dependent on him anymore and there’s a new star in the house. His lil power is gone and he is shaking. Learn to make your own damn dinner once in a while,' a fan wrote

Through the course of their 24 years of marriage, Karen Huger and her husband, Ray Huger, have been through a lot of thick and thin situations. But through it all, they always had each others' back, and never ceased to love each other. But of late, Ray has been having some trouble expressing his love for Karen, which is bothering the housewife quite a bit. In an earlier episode, when Ray was asked if he loves Karen, he responded diplomatically, saying he thinks he does and would like to love her. Karen was left feeling upset with his insensitive response, while Ray insisted that he was just being honest.

But Karen isn't willing to brush the issue under the carpet and pretend like everything's fine between Ray and her. So, she decided to have an honest conversation with him about the situation between them. During one of their walks, the 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star asks Ray if he is feeling intimidated by her growing success and fame. She points out how in the past few years she has become a public personality, began her own business ventures, and is gradually becoming independent. Karen then asks Ray how he feels about it. 

He then commends her on all her successes and says that they worked really hard to get where they are. He goes on to express how he is worried that Karen's growing fame and fortune might be getting to her head. When Karen denies it and asks him what's really troubling him, he expresses how he feels like she isn't spending enough time with him. He shares that she isn't able to strike a balance between her public life, family, and friends. 

Although Karen didn't tell Ray anything, fans weren't as considerate as her. Several fans took to their Twitter to slam Ray for being mad and insecure over Karen's success. A fan tweeted, "Ray’s a** is mad that Karen isn’t dependent on him anymore and there’s a new star in the house. His lil power is gone and he is shaking. Learn to make your own damn dinner once in a while. #RHOP." Another fan wrote, "Ray’s insecurities are jumping out. Karen shouldn’t have to chose between being a wife and being successful. She never made him chose. It’s not fair. #RHOP," while a third commented, "So while Karen was running around calling Ray the Black Bill Gates, he was well and good but now that she’s star in the relationship he has a problem #RHOP."

Another fan shared, "I applaud Karen for ASKING Ray if he's jealous of her success instead of just silently wondering it like a LOT of women do. But Karen might need to understand that working on her marriage and being successful can't happen at once. Ray is a misogynist. #RHOP." "On every housewives franchise there is a husband or two that feels a way or becomes intimidated by their wife’s success. On #RHOP that’s Ray. He was fine knowing Karen was intelligent as long as she was a housewife but now that she’s bringing in cash, he’s “out of love”," pointed a fan. "Karen's husband Ray on #RHOP. He's 73 damn years old, and he's whining because his successful, 16 years younger wife isn't paying enough attention to him. He's not getting the attention he "deserves" ~ his word. Boo-f**king-hoo. Won't win her love being a crybaby. Damn!" expressed an annoyed fan.
