"I, ___ take you, ___ for my wife/husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."
Sorry Chuck...I have nothing to say to that except my husband has been very forgiving to me about my last two and a half years since I quit my job at the Acme Billing Service. I kick myself in the ass everyday and he tells me I can't blame myself for 'trying to better myself" because I left a job trying to "do better"...
Obviously you tried to invest to do better, if she can't forgive that, (and you're working part time just to work for God's sakes..) well,what can anyone say. At least YOU TRY!!!
Financial distress causes the collapse of many marriages-I've seen it myself too many times, and this "economy" will cause all too many more. If a marriage can't survive that, not sure what significance the vows would even have since some seem to forget what their obliging themselves to when they exchange those rings....I thought it through before I made my commitment-apparently my husband did too. Next wife or girlfriend: get someone who's love doesn't revolve around money. After all, it's two people, not "to love & to cherish and keep a full time job making only secure investments"...
I hope she was just angry and it blows over...

Unemployment is one reason why there are married couple separated. It is because they are tired of telling their partner to search for a job to be able to sustain their needs. What could they do if they are really searching for job and there is no job for him/her. It is not that easy to find a good job. But you can face this problem. You both can think of a good business and manage it. This could be one of the best solution for this problem. If you do not have any money to make a capital to your business then have a a rev="vote for" title="Don’t forget these top 10 overlooked tax deductions" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/Payday-Loans/ ">payday loans and start a new business.

As you get older and start taking on more responsibility it's easy to see that love is the easiest part of marriage and any relationship. It's real life that always gets in the way. Things are always that much harder when money is tight, and especially when there is dim hope in the future as far as climbing out of the hole. The most important thing is to BE HONEST. never hide or be ambiguously deceitful about savings or investments. Finances (whether they are personal or a joint venture) needs to be something that is discussed in the open, no matter how bleak or upsetting it may be. Both partners need to understand fiscal limits as well as trust one another that every decision has been made for the good of the family. Things have a way of working out though, so I wish you all the luck in the world with the confidence that things will get better.

your wife is leaving. There has been approximately four families on my street that have split due to financial pressure as a direct result of unemployment. It makes me really sad to see decent, hardworking people just throw in the towel especially when there are children involved. All the blow-hards in Washington (on both sides) tout the importance of the American Family; however, we now know its a lie.
Did you try explaining why you did what you did? It's not easy admitting that you made a mistake---if you honestly made a move that you believed would be of benefit---although, you really should have discussed it with her to begin with. No one taught us how to navigate relationships especially where money is concerned. To be totally honest Im not in any position to give advise. Im busy tap dancing my way through bills just trying to keep my head slightly above water...chin up as they say--Im either too stupid or stubborn to give up!

Chuck there is so much pressure on married couples, or couples who are together with just every day issues of sharing space, but the jobless scenario plays one part of the whole picture.. May I share a story with you about a man who was my husband for 15 years. He was a man who could love but not show his love, He could provide monetarily but always on the edge, He was a product of the generation he was raised in .. Although I loved him I could not stay married to him, for he could not fulfill my needs, The need we all have, to feel complete as one picture on an ever growing canvas.

Together we had a child a little girl, Although he never wanted children she made his life complete, for he was indeed a wonderful Father, an a wonderful man, but not a wonderful husband, for that role he just could not star in.

He was diagnosed with cancer and after 10 years divorced he called me for we had remained best of friends for all those years. I came to care for him for it was not his daughters place to do, it was mine. I did care for him for the remaining 3 months of his life, I held his hand and wiped so many tears away. I changed him, bathed him and held him hour after hour .Told him how very important he was to me and how very grateful I was to have met him,for without him our daughter would of never been. You see what we had was wonderful, but not all roles have to be filled . I lost my friend my daughter lost her father but always knew our love was as strong as any love could of been.

It was never about monies, nor what he had or did not have. It was about us and how trying to make it fit just did not work,, But our Love lasted a life time.
