MY WIFE EXCLUDED ME FROM HER…

I thought my wife, Jenna, and I shared everything, including our deepest secrets. But when she excluded me from her birthday party, I realized I’d been left out of more than just one celebration. What hurt the most was discovering why.It wasn’t just the party that stung. It was what it revealed about my wife and our marriage.I’d spent a year saving for her dream gift, only to find out that I wasn’t enough for her. Looking back, the signs had always been there. I guess I just never wanted to see them.Jenna and I were introduced by our families eight years ago. They thought we’d be a great match, and they were right. At least in the beginning.She was warm, outgoing, and had this infectious energy that made everyone gravitate toward her. I was quieter and more practical, but I found her enthusiasm refreshing. We went on a few dates, and soon enough, I was hooked.Of course, she wasn’t perfect. No one is.I noticed early on that she had a bit of a materialistic streak.She loved fancy dinners, designer handbags, and the kind of vacations that made Instagram feeds look like travel brochures….
