Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | IowaCenturyFarm - 5/21/2018 12:04 In most years I make twice as much money as my wife does - pretty much always have. Her contributions to the relationship/our family more than make up for the earnings aspect. I wouldn't be able to do what I do without her, so how could I lay claim to everything? I don't think I'll ever have to worry about it, but if it ever comes down to divorce I'd have to be a pretty small, petty, selfish POS to think she should settle for less just because I make more money than her. There are sure lots of guys on this board that like to frame it as the wife taking half of HIS stuff. Pretty much tells me what I need to know about their relationship and why it didn't work.
Well said. So many on this board talk about their wives as though they're no more than a weight on the husband's shoulders. It's nice to read at least one guy who appreciates what he has in a wife and her contribution to their farming operation. Whether she's got cow poo on her boots, or wears a pair of Jimmy Choo heels to work, she participates. I know nothing of the circumstances the OP is speaking of, and I doubt the OP knows it all either. I know I'd hate to think of going thru a divorce at that age, man or wife. |
Divorce and the farm.
