33 People Who Realized They Married The Wrong Person

6.

“I realized I married the wrong person when he yelled at me that all I cared about was money during an argument. This was after he quit a job on the spot, with no backup plans and without consulting me, yet again. This upset me because all I ever wanted was a partner who was willing to share the load and work with me towards our future. I should have known better. I planned and paid for the wedding myself and I kept us financially stable for nearly a decade as he was fired from, or quit, job after job. All the while, I worked at the same company, in a job I hated, for the stability. I tried so many times to talk it through with him, about finding a job he could stick with or build on, and cutting unnecessary costs along with me so that we could save to buy a house and start a family.”

“After those talks, he’d say he was on board and ready to put forth effort, but ultimately, after that argument (and so many years of nothing changing), I realized he was never going to grow up and I’d be caring for a man-child for the rest of our marriage. I’m happily divorced from him now.”
