We were both facing our own financial difficulties as a consequence of divorce. Once, while she was worrying aloud about her particular circumstances - something she did not often do with me - I said something about us being partners and being able to work through it together. She spit that idea out the moment it entered her mouth. No! She was better at math than I was. She thought in economic terms. I thought in terms of endurance - carrying the load, inching forward, trying to make the best of it. I just wanted to be with her, really. She was into maximization though. She had a will to change her circumstances and she did so. I haven't seen her since.
