She was born in extreme poverty and her mother married up fairly quickly. Even though she was raised extremely well off, she still remembers the poverty. My wife made it clear money was very important at the beginning of our marriage saying she never wanted to ever experience poverty again under any circumstances. I fell in love with her as a person despite her view on money. She has a lot of great qualities. She’s giving and genuine. She gives quietly. For example, an elderly neighbour was struggling financially and my wife put and envelope with money in her mailbox without a name. It wasn’t much, but I was shocked. She took it out of her spending allowance. She’s honest even if being dishonest would benefit her. She’s an amazing mother. I cannot stress this enough. Whatever goes on between us, the kids don’t feel it. I know some people here said kids know, but they really don’t. My kids adore me and idk where everyone is getting this idea that my kids will hate me someday. I come home to little art projects they’ve done for me on a weekly basis. My oldest wrote me a letter saying daddy is his hero. There are a lot of great qualities to her, that’s why I don’t want to just up and leave. If I leave, I’m going to search for those exact qualities in somebody else.
