Had a talk with the wife last night. I told her that I understand that she is disappointed with me and asked if she would like to talk about it. Surprisingly, she did. I asked her how she felt about us. She said that she is uncomfortable around me. (I have been DBing fairly well and trying to be a man that she would want to stay married to). I asked what specifically have I done lately that makes her feel that way? She then responded that she was just "pissed" at our situation.
We have taken a 50% cut in my pay and that is what she is pissed about. I told her that I completely understand how she feels. We have know that this pay cut was coming for almost year and I told her that we need to be saving as much as possible. Since I make the money and she pays the bills, she told me that she knows our financial situation better than I do. Subsequently, no money was saved.
So it seems that the major hurdle in our relationship is money. Shocking, I know (sarcasm).
So my question is, short of winning the lottery, what can I do?
Also, she admitted to me that she is uncomfortable around me. Suggestions on how to handle that?
