Well, the catholic church does run bunches of schools and orphanages. So quite interesting, indeed!

You're the boss. You made mistakes. Stop. Take his perspective as far you can.

Do what must be done. If necessary, go public yourself and see whose attention your project gets. Adapt/pivot accordingly.

If he already threatened you, he's about to do it or will do it at some point in the near future, when you lost/invested even more.

Don't waste money you don't have and more importantly, don't waste time and attention.

You fucked up. It's your mistake. Own it, drink it off, adapt.

Few working people aren't jealous of your wife. Most won't admit that. Most can't pull it off because they are not financially secure, probably not even close, even in the top 10 % ...

Wifeys ( <3 ) problem is a mind thing. She's taking the opinions of people at face value.

There's what people say and what they actually think and want to say.

I'm positive wifey can turn her new life into a science and see the interesting patterns she could talk about with all the people who love talking about work. There are billions of housewifes who can't do what wifey can do because kids.

Wifey needs to try to look at her new life at a different angle, quite literally tilt her head and expand her sensemaking of it all.

Also: your brain works in logic, right? How to find people with lives closer to wifey's that just can't be found the normal way?

PS: People looking down on someone or giving someone that feeling or just generally giving off that vibe is a survival/coping strategy. They are not thriving. It's a sign of despair building up.
