I don't know if its really money - that may just be the symptom. PPD may fit into it. It may also be fear - everything is changing at once - I graduated with my Ph.D., I still don't have a solid job, we've left the state we lived in for the last six years, etc. Right now our situation isn't too stable, so she may be looking for stability with her parents.

I don't know. Not all of my spending was responsible - some of it was pure stupid. But it was never meant as malicious or selfish, though I can see how she would perceive it that way. Better communication might have helped ease the tensions there.

If we do get back together, I'm going to make sure we get some marriage counseling - preferably through our church.
