40 Times People Discovered Such A Bad Secret About Their Partners, They Had To Dump Them Her secret heart: she wanted to be a trad wife. In my 30’s I was working a good paying union job as a welder in a shipyard, a job I truly loved. I owned a home but had no other debt, our car was paid for. She worked as a sushi waitress a couple times a week and earned all of our fun money plus a little extra for her hobbies. Things were chill.

We shared our car which wasn’t a big deal since our shifts never crossed and if she ever needed the car that day she would bring to work in the morning at 5am and head back to do her day.

A few years go by and she expresses interest in going back to school. Awesome!! She’d had some public school trauma so we spent a lot of time talking it over and she decided to start with one community college art class. Low stakes, creative, aligned with her interests.

She loved it! Wonderful. She loved it so much she wanted to start full time classes. We pulled out our finances and looked things over. I could pick up overtime easily, so I’d start picking up an extra shift a couple times a month, she’d drop down to one shift at sushi.

This makes things tight, but she’s really starting to blossom. Then the next quarter rolled around and she decided she needed a car of her own in order to take the classes she wanted- sharing a car had its limits. We take the finances out again and the only way to make that happen was her earning $300 more a month to cover the new car note

or

for me to work 6 days a week, every week.

I said I would not do that. Shipyard welding is hard work.

This is when her secret was revealed: she told me with vitriol and rage “I will never work as hard as you. I will never earn as much as you. You have to take care of me that way and you need to get used to that NOW!”

It was there that I realized I didn’t have a wife who wanted a 50/50 partnership with me. She wanted me to spend my lifetime providing her with a lifestyle she herself wasn’t willing to work for.

10 years building up the that moment. 7 years of marriage shattered with that secret heart of hers.

I filed for divorce three months later and never looked back. .
