So I have this girlfriend of thirty years. She remarried in 1988 and then, two years later, received a five figure inheritance. It was her third marriage. When she got the money she gave it to her husband thinking “it all goes into the same pot; why not?* I would never even consider doing that! Plus , her husband was the business manager of an oil exploration company at the time. I am not a cheapskate at all and love buying very nice gifts but this?
What do you think of her doing that if you care at all? It isn’t very nice to say but she does have a very strong fear of being alone and I think she wanted to make herself more desirable to him, so to speak, since he is extremely critical.
