I’d be more concerned that she lied (although that’s a tough sell with the whole “lie of omission” - women ALWAYS have secrets) than the money, but I don’t think any American can appreciate the social pressure she was under from her community and family - not that that excuses anything… 10K or 12K (whatever the real number is) isn’t THAT much money. But that’s what you get with crazy South American chicks - take if from someone who knows…
Don’t ruin your marriage over it. Just earn more. You can ALWAYS earn more, but you can’t get back time or opportunity. If you have lost neither then you are fortunate. If you divorce her over this you have lost both.

Are you kidding me? These girls aren’t under social pressure to throw $20,000 weddings while lying to their husbands about $12,000. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this was purely to massage her ego. If you believe these girls are under such pressure, unless they’re from a wealthy family, you’re naive and delusional. I’m thinking her parents would be quite unhappy with her actions too.
I’m a Latino and I can’t appreciate the “pressure” they’re under, the pressure you’re describing doesn’t exist to a woman who’d to take out a loan rather than get the money from her family. Quite telling, isn’t it?
