I nearly went into the stock market, if we did not decided to pay off a big chunk of our mortgage.
Do you still remember the marriage oath:" ... for rich or poor, for healthy or sick..."
My hu*****and's aunt's hu*****and left her when she was diagnosed with cancer. What this aunt did was, she was pregnant with her daughter when she was diagnosed. She waited to start the cancer treatment after the birth. He knew all these, and still left. What do you think of the man?
I heared a story that a man lost $200,000 by gambling. His wife did not leave him after she got to know this, instead she made him to pledge and remortgaged the house. Three years on, they are very happy, he has not touched the cards once.
I think at the end of the day, nothing is more important than being together, looking after each other, enjoying good times together. House and money are not important at all.
Stick to your hu*****and, get through this.
