I'm wondering if you SHOULD have kicked her, now that I think about it...
But... reality may have done that...
It does seem the WAS really is living in some dream world, prepared to put up with some uncomfortable conditions for the time being (or alternately living the high life) in anticipation of their perceived freedom...
Financial freedom, personal freedom, emotional freedom... whatever... however that looks to them, going on trips, or getting that house, or pursuing (possibly non-existant) knights or princesses...
Like people who go to the accountant when they are "ready" to retire... and they get a dose of reality that whatever they thought their life might look like... ain't so shiney... and they might have to keep working while retired...
maybe... just maybe... the two of you will have better lives in D... but... I always think... why can't people just choose a better life in M...?
