When your spouse does not follow your dream...

Today, I got a newsletter from a previous realtor that I worked with. I never bought a house from him but I still received his quarterly newsletters which I throughtly enjoyed. They are so personal and warm. He grabs your heart and draws you in which I like. It is like he is talking to you and you only. Kind of makes me feel special ...Even though I have not bought from him....I enjoy the content like helpful home tips and personal stories re: himself.

I had noticed the last 2 newsletter that he had incorporated and went out on his own business. He had written an article how his wife of 20 years are now separating and divorcing. I can't wonder if the stress of being a realtor in a terrible market and economy has hurt him. I wonder if the stress of no income finally broke the marriage. I felt a real stab in my heart. I know he truly believed in going out on his own and trying to make his business work. But should one's vision of having a business cost one their marriage?

Did the money run dry and so did her patience? I understand how important for your love one/spouse, to be behind you 100% to be there.

I don't know the full story...however, I do know struggling financially must really put a strain on the marriage.

In conclusion, my heart and prayers goes out to him, his wife, and his family during this trying time.
