my ex husband only made 6.00 an hour when i married him) i helped him get raises etc until he made like 23.00 an hour...when we were together he never bought me gifts or celebrated holidays he was the cheapest,stingiest man on the planet.. I was a good wife... when he got injured i paid everything for the past two years all of our bills and his bills!I was even nice and helpful to him wen we broke up... It felt like I married my contractor...that's what it feels like now...he was the only man that could have built my house...I'll give him that...I guess he wasn't my soul mate...
