Successful Software Engineer Discovers the Truth

>Married to childhood friend for 6 happy years >Wife wants to read her old diary from about 3rd grade with me >Sounds kinda dumb but if she's happy then fine >Mostly stupid kids stuff with random words like HATE in big writing >Eventually we get to the part where she meets me >According to the diary she only wanted to be friends because her logic was that nerds become rich and she wanted to marry me to get rich >Remember how she was always trying to get me to learn and get into college pretty much entire childhood >This led me to actually get a good job as software engineer >I lead a good life because my wife was a sociopathic gold digging 8 year old

A greentext-style confession describes a man reading his wife's childhood diary and discovering that she befriended him only because she predicted nerds would become rich. The punchline reframes their happy marriage and his software-engineering career as the long-term plan of a manipulative child, making it a sarcastic reaction to realizing an apparent romance had a mercenary origin.
