Ahh, just trying to share my experiences, mate! No judgment from me!
I see a little of myself in you - optimistic, good-hearted. But that doesn't make a marriage. be careful!
On the other hand, what the hell? What does it matter, really? Money is just money. I will make more. I have lost so much money in this "situation" it's not even funny. But I will make more. I'm not really focused on the money. Never was. Maybe if I had to do it over again, I would do the same thing - biy a big house and hope and trust that she would be "with me" in the commitment. yeah, I probably would do that. For better or worse.
