He decided to give his WAW the gift of pursuing her passions and dreams.
I understand that. And I'm not saying that that is the wrong thing to have done.
My point is more that it wasn't really a "gift" if you're turning around and putting down the choices that she made
I was also upset with my ex for making a long series of choices that I'm sure led to an overall earning much lower than what was possible. But in hindsight that anger was misplaced. I agreed to the path; it wasn't fair to continue to be upset about the pay checks years later when I knew what was coming.
