She (we) have waited a long time to get a house, 16 years we have been renting. It has been hard on our family. It has stressed me out and made me a little moody at times. To make it worse I have taken all our non pension money and invested it in funds that have not done well. Sometimes they are way up and sometimes way down. She insisted on looking when they were way down. Usually she just trusted me and let me manage our money. She was a little superstitious about it and never wanted to "jinx" us by asking when she thought it was up and was too freaked out to ask when she thought it was down. It has been a very long and tough road watching the home prices rise relentlessly where we live while watching our investments suffer. We had a minor issue where I didn't talk much for a few days after she left without saying goodbye. It all culminated at the same time and fell down on top of me. She feels like I let her and my family down and that now it is too late for us so she is going off on her own with our kids. Several friends, not on my request, have told her that she is being irrational and making a horrible mistake but that only make her more mad and focussed on leaving. I have made some big financial mistakes and it cost me my family basically.
