writes:We are together for 8 years(4 before and 4 after marrage). She was a student when we met. We had the most wonderful relation before marriage and until we have our daughter. Till then my income was the only financial source. Though it was not enough we manage to be happy with what we have. After my doughter my income increase and more than enough for us. It was well above the average. We don't have financial problem then. Three years ago she started her own business(from my income) and now she manage to earn even more than me. I expected we will be more happy. But she start to push me to make more money. And I feel we earn more than enough to support us and our two kids. I can work more hours and can earn more money but it will take time from us. Even now we barely spend time together and the intimacy is declining. I try to convience her we are sacrifying our love to make more money. But she blame me for not being supportive. She indirectlly start to tell me I'm contributing less money. We lost our emotional connection. Everything is about money. She bash be Im lazy but I know I'm not. My stand is my income alone is enough for us let alone hers added and we don't need to worry about more money but more happiness.Now I'm planning to show her I can make more money. But I have to go another place to do that. I don't have other option. Should we sacrify our togetheerness and happiness just to get more money?? Is money that much important to take our time? How could she become money opsessed? We used to live with less than a quarter of what we earn now. We wore 4-fold happier then. I'm really confused. Now I start to think money is inversly proportional to hapiness.

This is a sad situation, the business and the income from the business is as a result of an investment from your pocket, therefore, the income is for the both of you.
Its true when they say money changes some women, personally, i ll start thinking of divorcing an ungrateful and greedy woman like this.

Forget about the money, address the marriage! If she is that money orientated, why kill yourself for her? I'd start to seriously look at whether you want to be in a marriage with a woman who thinks so little of you, and more of your paycheck.
