A friend whom i know for 17yrs ended his life recently because his wife of 8yrs decided to file for a divorce.The reason,his wife claimed she was earning more than him.My friend was doing well before he was retrenched in 2006.From my understanding, he tried very hard & finally got a job which pays less.He wasted no time and took on another job,( a Cab driver by nite) He was down & depressed and we did our best cheer & helped him as Much as we could.He did told us abt his wife who started to pick on trivial matters.) Quarrels over trivial matters were inevitable.We knew how desperate he wanted to salvage the marriage. He told us he doesn't wanted a divorce.

Things took for the worst and I received a call from his worrying mother that he committed suicide by ending his own life. A Note wrote how much he loves his wife,he will work hard to provide her and his daughter. He has a beautiful daughter, age 10.

What puzzled me was is MONEY really so important that.Its been over 2 months now and I still failed to find any reasonable explanations that is marriage measured by money? Shouldn't both husband and wife be supportive and encouraging specially in bad times?

(*Note:There was no "3rd party","domestic violence","Owes loanshark" etc.

So if anyone who wish to comment & share. Pls do so but kindly do not make fun of my friend's death)
