My w is similar to yours in that she is high maintenance and would place a priority on material things. I was similar while in the Mr...I would hold firm at first but would usually relinquish and give in.
Well I’m 7 months removed from her leaving marital house...and she has piled up roughly $45k in debt/sucken costs with renting a house, filling it with new furniture, decorating, etc. Granted I wasn’t the most astute person in managing our finances, but I always made sure we were taken care of with enough to have a buffer. In what W had anticipated on recouping once our house sells, it will be just a fraction of what she initially thought her share would be. I do believe that will be another slap of her reality once she realizes her debt she’s accrued won’t get paid off in one lump sum.
Had a similar convo with my folks about w being high maintenance...and her FIL once said the same. Only difference is since BD, our extended families have ghosted each other.
