Marriage/Relationships

[Mortblanc]

I do not see the OP as the age old question of "Is your spouse on board?"

It seems more of a "How is you spouse going to react after SHTF?" question.

How is she going to react after the event and what are you going to do if the reaction is not what you consider "positive".

What do you do if you shoulder your BOB for the big trip to the "wilderness" and she looks at you and says "Not even if hell freezes over, and the kids stay here too!"

Example #2; Could you hand her a firearm and tell her to stand in the window and cover you while you parley with an unknown trader at the roadside and feel you were protected?

Or even better, is she going to sit in place eating you rice and beans when she discovers there is a guy down the road with pork, mutton, fresh milk and canned veggies.

The % of divorces over money is not quite at the 95% rate, but it is a big factor and seems bigger if that is the focus of ones life and that of the spouse.

Men look at money as an object in itself, women look at the perception of security money buys. That perception of security might change after SHTF, but it might not change as rapidly as you wish.

Post SHTF she may still look at a big house with flashy cars in the drive and be impressed, while you look at the same and know there is no fuel in the tanks and wonder how much wood it takes to heat the place.

If you have a good one let her know you appreciate her.
