[quote=Anonymous]It is completely normal and understandable to have an emotional reaction to someone close to you achieving a goal you have worked towards but not achieved. Like this is one of the most human reactions there is, and no one is immune -- everyone feels this way sometimes.

Blaming your spouse for not earning enough is immature though -- in a marriage you work together to address issues. If your incomes are low, you should consider moving to a lower cost of living area or buying a condo or smaller home. Or look for fixer uppers that you could live in and work on over time. These are things you have to work on together, though.

But OP, you are also immature for both (1) seeming to have no empathy for your wife's disappointment, which is understandable, and (2) dragging your mother into this argument. Both you and your wife need to grow up and figure out what your financial plan is. It sounds like you both want to buy a home. Well, time to figure out how to do that. You can't just keep putting it off and expect your wife to be happy about it. It will only get worse the longer you wait.
