Women tend to have money issues; whereas, men lack affection demands. Remarriage is a way for people to bring back their happiness and well-being and restore relationships, but sometimes it can result in another divorce.

He came from a very abusive home where his mother, siblings, and he suffered. It was a good decision for his family, but he hasn’t had an easy life since. He didn’t have much academic success, wasn’t good with relationships, and wanted to grow up way too fast. He lived in his own house before ever graduating high school, had a job, paid for everything with no support from his parents, and got in trouble with the law. He is an impulsive buyer
