So I went ahead and explained my thoughts on the boatload of cash I just put in her account. I carefully explained that it was about how much I cared for her as a person, as much as my wife, that with everything going on with her and us, that [b]there may be some significant opportunities that she may not have thought through yet.[/b] The biggest and most important thing is that there’s enough cash for her to quit her job, enroll back in college full time, volunteer at the kids school and achieve her life long dream and passion of becoming a teacher. I also told her that no matter what happened between us, for better or for worse (nice vow tie in I must say) that an opportunity like this would not happen again for her for a very very long time (divorce = financial ruin and “found money” doesn’t pop up very often!) I told her that I would not ask or inquire about the money again, that I trusted her with my life, our kids lives and everything WE have and this money was just another thing WE have.
Ugh. Appeasement and supplication NEVER works (that I've seen), but it's DAMNED sure not a smart move with a woman only one month removed from confirmed infidelity.
It also comes across as a BRIBE to me, esp. the part highlighted in red.
