Seriously, I can't decide which is more impressive, his years of dedication to his writing or hers.

  I was a bit less impressed as I found out more about his situation. She wasn't just paying for his writing, she was paying for him to be a stay at home dad and take care of all the mundane stuff that kept their family operating. It's impressive that she never questioned him or gave him a hard time, but it sounds like he was holding up his end of the bargain.

    I actually wasn't impressed at all because I don't think we can ever know if she questioned him or gave him a hard time. It could have been an unbelievably painful number of years for both of them and she could have given up on him years before but was stuck supporting him. It doesn't sound as nice but it is probably closer to reality...

      She's a senior partner at a law firm, so I can't imagine their financial situation was all that precarious.

  Yeh I couldn't agree more. Most women would've given up on the idea and booted their men out to go find real jobs, but not Sharie, she funded him year on year, including the multiple trips out to Haiti. She must've thought he was seeing another woman all those times, but she had the faith and stayed strong.
