A husband finds himself grappling with a growing sense of exhaustion and disappointment in his marriage. He opens up about his struggles in the face of unending demands from his wife for a bigger house, despite the sacrifices he has made to secure their current home.

The husband's journey from a humble uneducated hawker to a successful business engineer has been one fraught with dedication and hard work. Endless hours of studying, toiling in the company, and climbing the corporate ladder have defined his path to success. Throughout his life, he has been very careful with his money and resources, often settling for simple meals just to save for their home. 

"For the sake of frugality, I have been eating mixed rice for over a decade, with just two side dishes or sometimes only a meat dish and egg." 

Finally, after 14 years of unwavering determination, the couple fully paid the loan of their four-room HDB flat in Singapore. This achievement should have been a cause for celebration, but the wife's recent visit to a friend's newly purchased larger house became a turning point that stirred discontent.

Upon returning from the housewarming, the wife expressed dissatisfaction with their current living situation. She complained about the small size of their home, the noise from the surroundings, and the lack of fresh air due to their low-floor unit. In her frustration, she seemed to place blame on her husband for their choice of home, suggesting that he had made a mistake in selecting the property.

The husband, now 45 years old, was taken aback when his wife announced her desire to upgrade to a larger HDB flat, which would cost an additional $750,000. After calculating the financial implications, he realized that this meant taking on a new loan of $280,000, reminiscent of the burden they carried 14 years ago when they first purchased their home. Overwhelmed and worn out, he questions if this marriage was the biggest mistake of his life.

Netizens quickly respond to the sharing. While some actually supported the wife and says that the husband should work on their next house, but most of them suggest the guy to divorce his current wife and find himself a new happiness. 

One commenter gave a useful suggestion by asking the guy to share the burden with his wife and maybe that would help to understand the situation better and things could be better for the couple moving forward.
