it will take her time to check out what else your have not told her, not got round to mentioning and maybe not answered fully. You will just have to roll with it as she checks out the new landscape.
Make sure she knows you think she is incredible and make sure that you keep her fully in the picture in the future.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
Well I finally did it! I told her and she went mad and cried, I cried! But she didn't leave me and didn't chuck me out, in fact, she was incredible. It didn't take her long to get the spreadsheets out and total up our expenditure.
I owe her far more than just money and will be eternally grateful to her. I just need to prove to her that I was worth marrying!
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who replied to this thread. Your advice and encouragement helped me through this.
I could not praise MSE enough, you are all awesome.
