[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi was in a very similar situation but with my sister. She is married to a very very wealthy man, the top 1% kind of wealthy. For the first few years I was insanely jealous of the multiple houses, the cars, trips, her designer wardrobe,etc....but after a while she confided in me that though she loves her husband she wasn't totally happy and she actually went into a depression. Money does not buy happiness is my point. She had a rough couple of years but after therapy and meds, shes doing much better. She has all the things people think they need and want but what she really wanted was her husband to be around more and to have a simpler life, they always have people working in their homes and always jetting off here and there and with his job, they literally are out 4-5 nights a week. She looked at me one day and said "i am actually jealous of you and your life". I am a graphic designer, my husband owns a small construction company so we live a typical middle class life and this took me by surprise.

So OP this is my long winded way of saying though to you he might be struggling he might actually still be really happy. I think you sound kind though and just have his best interest at heart. Offer him the tickets but he is adamant about not taking you up, let it go. Enjoy the wedding![/quote]

Yes, that's RIGHT!!! All people with money are just MISERABLE! Feel better now?[/quote]
