A couple years ago, I started a construction company and it’s going well. Really well. We were already doing fine, with a house, property, decent cars/truck debt free. I told her next year I’m going to build her a big arse house (we both agree we need a bigger house) and that I was getting an S-class. It started a fight. Not about money, but about me not being satisfied and being materialistic. We both grew up poor, so I figured she’d appreciate being able to have nice things, but it made her into a monk or something. I have always wanted nice things, but have been patient. Now I want to enjoy the fruit of my labor.

Will she come around on this? We’ve been married 10+ years and it never even crossed my mind that this was something that could cause tension in a marriage.

Is this thread over the top, even by OT standards?

It's all a front. When she walks in the nice house, she will shut the frick up.

Is it deeper than this? Are you gone a lot? Maybe she feels like you aren’t really enjoying the fruits of your hard work because you’re focusing on getting more?

There has to be more. Otherwise, she would’ve come at it like “I love this house and don’t want to leave,” or something.

Your woman clearly used to be a man.

I wasn’t trying to be subtle, but I do need help getting her to relax with the Mother Theresa stuff. She actually said something about how many people you could feed for a year with the cost of an S63. We give money to charity but I’m never writing a check that big while I’m alive.

She sounds like the smart one. Grew up poor and now y'all have money and she See's you spending money faster than your making it. Slow down and invest in assets baw.

Get her drunk, drug her and let someone from here bang her. Claim infidelity, divorce, get you a new s class and a new girlfriend

Your wife is transitioning into a liberal butch lesbian. But maybe you can use it to get out of losing half of your shite? Depends on where you live I guess.

Communicate and try to meet in the middle.

Sees, and I already said it’s not a money argument. She thinks I’m becoming a different person and will always want bigger and more. It offends her sensibilites.
