My wife recently brought up divorce and has been away from home for five days. I've been taking care of our child the whole time.

I just got the kid to sleep. Let me tell you about my wife and me.

I met my wife right after I graduated. I'm a dentist, and she came in for a nursing position interview. I was attracted to her at first sight. After we got to know each other, we started dating.

One memory that stands out is when I got acute gastroenteritis. I was vomiting whenever I ate, dizzy and exhausted. The clinic boss made me stay until closing time. Only she immediately went to the pharmacy next door to buy me medicine. Then I went back to the dorm and lay in bed feeling terrible. I felt so helpless at that moment.

Later, my wife and I moved in together, rented a place, and cooked together. At that time, I felt she was perfect wife material. Although she had a stubborn temperament, I chose to be tolerant, thinking things would improve. But this tolerance also became the reason things got worse after we married.

The reason I loved my wife so much was because back when we were dirt poor in 2021, she still chose to be with me. Then in 2022, I made two million in crypto, but lost it all in the bear market in May. My wife didn't leave me at that time—instead, she was willing to help me rise again. But the constant ups and downs made me regret not taking profits regularly.

After marriage, pregnancy, and having our child, I basically quit working and stayed home with my wife. Then I focused on community building, but it was still full of ups and downs. All my energy went into crypto, leaving very little time for family. Combined with recent events, my wife feels there's no hope with me. She's been away for several days without coming home. I think she's been thinking deeply about this. But I don't support divorce. We've been together for so long, through so many years. We were truly happy when we had nothing. Maybe my wife liked the old me—poor, but hopeful about life and full of fighting spirit.

Now I've been humbled by the market in crypto, and life is gradually weighing me down. I'm wondering, can I really keep my wife? Where will we go from here?
