I've seen him on television interviews where he says he was and is hopeful that she is going to earn enough money to make everything magically work - when she has been a SAHM for 20 years, and hasn't worked a lot in the years they've been together. I think he resents her not bringing in an income and she resents him for not making enough to pay the bills. Both of them are immature IMO and deserve each other. <br><br>Real adults who are married and house shopping talk about what they'd like in a house and how much to spend. They actually come to a mutual agreement about that. Any man out there saying "my wife made me do it" is someone who hasn't grown up enough yet to own his own decisions. Not participating in the decision about how much to spend is a decision also.
