Guys cool it. Slagging each other off will result in the thread being locked.
I accept that asking is not a crime-but it was naive to so on a public forum. Your wife is free to ask the bank for reduced payments. Why not do so-it may result in a good outcome.
Whether you worked hard, sacrificed hols, sky, paid lots of tax etc is no valid reason not to pay a loan in full. The only reason that's valid is if you don't have it to pay back. But that comes with lots of stress.
I believe you now have a clear idea of your options. Hope it goes well for you.
