This is what resentment turns into. She sacrificed all those things in order to give her husband everything he wanted. The resentment forms when the sacrifice isn’t acknowledged. He sees it as mutual. She didn’t. They didn’t properly communicate, for any number of reasons.
I think the point is that she made the initial sacrifice, and momentum carried them along the rest of the way. She knew it, he was oblivious.
Sometimes you can continue on the path you’re on because it makes sense, but know that it’s not the original path you planned and that can be a little upsetting- even if you’re content enough where you are.
It's inappropriate to be essentially blaming these choices in her husband and the children in front of them though.
Now they both probably feel like crap due to her bitterness.
