This sounds like a rhetorical question to me. It's not the apartment that really bothers you but the fact that you think or know there is no prospect in the relationship based on who he is and what he is capable of.

If I loved him, money doesn't matter. All I need is him.
SW-User
@in10RjFox Absolutely.

@SW-User so you can have him as your male wife .. 😄

I did this. But he’s a super hardworking man and because of that, we have been able to come à very long way.

You can't live on love alone but if you have that love, you'll find a way to make it work.
Possibly, yes. Possibly, no. There’s more to life than possessions, but I don’t want to be struggling just to eat either. Depends.
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@DarkHeaven what if it's just the problem of getting a house?
@WendyLopez43 I don’t know. I literally live in my parent’s backyard right now, so I doubt that I’m ever not gonna have a place to live. So, is that’s the only problem, her and I would figure out… same as my fiancée and I do.
LadyBronte · 56-60, F
I can afford whatever I want on my own so I don't worry about anyone else giving me luxuries.
SW-User
yeah. i'm probably going to lol. i'm also that person so it doesn't matter to me.
maybe when I was younger, not anymore.
Beautywithin · 36-40, F
Yes and it would be our small rinky dink apartment
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
If it was because he spent his money on beer and cigarettes, hell no.
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@cherokeepatti I guess that would turn Mr. Bad Luck off from you.
SW-User
@cherokeepatti yeah these types are normally spendthrifts and alcoholics who are into flashy cars etc
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SW-User Looking for a woman to pay the rent on that dinky apartment so they can keep their money for themselves.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
I don't see a point in marrying either way. But I would date a person like that. If he can already afford a small apartment, together we would be able to afford something bigger.
Collegegirl23 · 26-30, F
If I love him and want him no amount of money in the world would change my mind because I have a lot of money
in10RjFox · M
@Collegegirl23 so you have your own apartment now ?
TexChik · F
Nope . While money was not my motivation, marrying someone at least equal or superior to my earning ability was . Financial security for a family is very important and I am attracted to intelligent , responsible, and motivated people . A person barely getting by has more issues than just financial ones.
TexChik · F
@WendyLopez43 I can’t imagine me feeling that way, but an intelligent, responsible, motivated person would not settle for bare minimum.
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@TexChik I don't want a family but I'd live in a small trailer park with my husband if I had to.
@TexChik agree 100%
SW-User
no marrying someone w bad finances is cursing yourself
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
What if you love em?
SW-User
@WendyLopez43 then motivate them to be successful first
Slade · 56-60, M
As long as it wasn't from irresponsibility.

It'd be idiotic to ditch someone because they have a low paying job or have had some bad luck
sue52 · 51-55, F
lol doesn't everyone start out that way ??? We did - nearly 30 years ago so something else was more important than square metres :)
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@sue52 I know someone who started that way and stayed that way for 20 something years with his wife still there.
DoubleRings · 51-55, F
No. someone who has trouble managing money at my age prob won’t get better later on. It’s already too late.
Yes, money isn't what I find most attractive
exexec · 61-69, C
Thank goodness, my wife did. I was in grad school and could barely afford any kind of living space. Love conquers all!
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@exexec I’ve lived in this city most of my life and have heard of young women marrying a student and working one or two jobs to pay the bills thinking when their husband graduates they will be able to have a nice home and a more comfortable life, only for the man to divorce shortly after graduation. Usually it was men who were studying to be lawyers or doctors but other majors too. The last one I heard about was a rather simple woman who was married to student who got a degree in social work, he filed for divorce within a month of graduation. Some women are doing this too, a woman also majoring in social work did the same thing, she lived on campus and her husband supported her for 4 years paying the bills while she went to school and he was a farmer. She filed for divorce within a month. So risky to enter into a marriage like this. Glad yours was for love.
exexec · 61-69, C
@cherokeepatti We had been dating for almost 8 years, and she knew I was totally devoted to her. Very little risk, if any, for us.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@exexec One of the neighbor girls that was a year younger than me met a student right out high school & started dating him. She was working as a data entry processing job and he had just started college to major in accounting. That same year they married and lived on her income and whatever student aid HE got. Eventually she got a bank job & bought a modest home, she made the payments etc. When it came time for him to graduate he announced that he was going to law school. He also told her he didn’t want to have children. By that time she was burnt out supporting him and divorced him, later marrying someone else and starting a family. I was happy for her to have made a quick decision because law school was have dragged it out several more years.
smiler2012 · 56-60
{@wendylopez43] should not matter in the slightest if you love somebody and are prepared to marry them this is a small sacrifice
Beebo · M
No, but only because I wouldn't marry anyways. But if I was looking to marry, then yes if she's the right one.
most will not and that is sad to think its not the person but what they own. or how much they make..
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
It would depend where the apartment is…. London Paris Dubai HonG KONG LOndon? … or yokleville nowheresville
SW-User
I wouldn't care how rinky dink it was if we loved one another.
in10RjFox · M
why is it that its not dependent on my status ? When I have what I need then why would I have to shift .. and If I don't even have a small rinky dink apartment.. why would I not ?

At the end of the day .. what am I going to be ? a husband or wife ?

as the dominant is always the husband and the submissive is the wife .. and it's not the gender that would decide ..
carpediem · 61-69, M
Maybe he's stashing away $$ while living frugally
Slade · 56-60, M
@carpediem Done my share of that. I have Scottish heritage - would you expect anything else?🤔

it's better than a van or a ⛺ under a bridge
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@lumberjackslam You have a valid point.
Paperhearts · 61-69, F
EmilyMom · 51-55, F
sounds like you're looking for someone to take care of you...shouldnt you be asking if you should get married if you BOTH can only afford a dinky apartment?
lumberjackslam · 41-45, M
is that because she's paying off a Tesla or what
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@lumberjackslam just bad luck
lumberjackslam · 41-45, M
@lumberjackslam I'm not trying to be annoying

candycane · 31-35, F
Yes and we would work together to move up
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
@WendyLopez43 why don’t they look for better paying jobs? My husband has always worked two jobs : a full time and a part time job to move us up
WendyLopez43 · 26-30, F
@Jenny1234 the area in general is full of low paying jobs and they don't have the money to move
