This is her new reality. She never really understood how expensive things were because I took care of all the bills. She is starting g to learn.
Yes, this is very true. I remember when my W, a WW at the time, started asking me how much the car (her's) was. And insurance. And registration. And also energy bills. Etc. It was eye-opening to her. When she realized she'd have:
- Rent - Car and expenses - Utilities - Half of all D's expenses
She started doing the math and it didn't leave someone, that has been out of the workforce for 15 years, a lot of extraneous money to fund her new single lifestyle. All of these little reality checks help to wake her up.
