Everything would consist of a farm with animals, a garden, and a loving wife with kids; my wife and kids can't live in an apartment is the biggest issue and I can't love her more than for my children's sake because of all that happened in our history... I've had a knife raised up at me (couple times) and would of escalated have I not took it out her had while barely cutting my pinky then pushed her out the apt while my children watched...
Is fun to talk about memories lol.
Okay I'm not saying she doesn't love her children, and it might be a matter of her age, but you have the right idea in what you want to provide for your children, why doesn't she? Does she not equate her bad spending habits with the reason why you two don't have that now?
Sorry if I come off a little abrasive. It's really not my intention. I just get peeved when people don't take personal responsibility for themselves or their current situation. It seems like your wife lacks common sense if she's spending your family into oblivion and doesn't accept her part in it.
You really shouldn't feel bad for her short-comings. It's not fair when you want to be a part of a team and the other person just wants to sit on the bench and yell about your performance.
I'm sorry.
