I really hope it wasn’t due to his bankruptcy because then that means he’s using me for financial security.
When we are married, we are each other's financial security (even if someone doesn't work) because even the little things we do (the groceries we buy, etc) all add up. When we pick who we marry, IMO, it can be both romantic and practical and so are all the life events that lead up to the marriage. I sometimes think the connections we make were what was meant to be.
