I think this is the key point. My take on this situation is completely colored by my anti-religious views. I view her sacrifice as completely idiotic and worthless. But it’s clear she needed to do this. I can fake a lot of stuff for some amount of time for whatever particular reason- think along the lines of showing support for my wife. But I can’t sacrifice what she did for 3 decades without having that flame deep inside.
