You specifically stated that your choice to marry was made with the consideration of how much money a month your spouse was capable of providing. Would you be as understanding if the reverse were true and you knew YOU were being evaluated in such a manner? Or, how about finding out that you were selected for what physical attributes you were capable of proffering in exchange for the wedding vows? Plus NO income is guaranteed, so yes I believe that such a blatently mercenary consideration is a firm indicator that such a one remaining in the relationship will always be a conditional situation and not considered to be the traditional long-run affair should the expected financial rewards diminish over time.
Are you still single?

Well that maybe something you consider. But my husband got to know me for who I was and my heart and that was what he fell in love with.
I'm beginning to think that you are refusing to understand what she is saying. Please see my post #1034. It's really quite simple.
The funny thing is that my wife agreed to marry me when I was unemployed.
