Does money matter?

Maybe in the states where people are more superficial. I’d never leave my man over that.

Makes sense.. as they should.

Men need to be providers.

No. I suspect that a good proportion of couples part company these days because they simply realize that life together is just not working out. I know of a number of couples who are no longer together but parted by common consent. Neither party left the other, the both left the partnership.

If you want statistics to be concerned about then I would think that the one, whatever it is, that describes the number of women who do not leave 'their' man because they do not have enough money is more interesting (and distressing).

In 1990 I had a girlfriend going to a Christian college in Florida as I was in the Army, and I got a dear john letter as she dated professional baseball players on spring training in Florida.

In 2006 I made $65.000 a year and I was divorced and left holding the bag by a wife I put through nursing college for a single rich older doctor she worked with.

In 2014 the girlfriend I had just left me telling me I did not make enough money for her over night for a wealthier man we both went to high school with in and they married and were divorced within a year.

In between 2008 to 2012 I tried dating sites of different venues (Not naming any if I am asked, but they were mainstream popular ones) and I was always asked where I live (standard) then what do I drive, what do I own, do I own or rent, and what my income level was.

So, I quit trying to date and live a wealthier life in many different ways now.

So, my answer has to be yes.

The guys I’ve spoken with one of them reasons too is the man doesn’t make her happy, so she quiets the relationship and goes looking for someone who can, and the search goes on, and on.

I’ve got money. Doesn’t mean she’s getting any.

No. They leave bc of the smell.

Idk about that stat but that's a pretty shallow reason. They can't complain when the rich guy they fall for later decides to get with a younger woman as time goes on. Being shallow goes both ways

I doubt the veracity of that statement. Source?

Most women are too understanding. They don’t divorce when they should in the case of an overly controlling husband, or a lazy/under-earner, or a sexless marriage.

Money, or the lack of it causes more arguments and frustration between couples than anything else.
If you have one partner putting in more than the other there's going to be resentment

@Ranman 🤔true or not i think that is rather a very shallow reason when married what about the vow they promised for richer for poorer 🤷‍♂️obviously meaningless words

Nope, not true at all. Anytime I see a statistic that heavily weighted in one direction or another, I doubt it is valid.

Do men?
Do women?
Why do women??
Why do men ,?
Are women??
Who do men??
Who did women??
Why do men??
How do women?
How do men?
..etc

Maybe they just say that when the real reason is embarrassing

If it's true, I still think the reason why he doesn't have "enough" money is crucial here.

I don't believe that statistic is correct. Especially considering the rates of infidelity, abuse and sickness and any other number of reasons. Womens shelters don't exist for no reason.

Also.. That 20% would have to include men who were financially sufficient which would make up a pretty large chunk with the above.

So yeah. BS statistic doesn't stand up on the face of it.

If not having enough money to impress women actually matters to you I think you must have ridden the wrong 'bus' through life.

I know I missed almost every bus about learning how to do sex, intimacy, romance and relationships but I know that if a woman is not impressed because you are not wealthy enough then she does not deserve to have you in her life.

Women do that, men should do the same in the era of equality

I am not sure about the percentage, but it must be 80% of women who leave their man, leave because of no money.

But in today's world Money does matter because without it all other problems will creep in to the house making life miserable.

Also men without money invariably become drunkards and cheats and create nuisance gt home since jobless.

If you read it in the internet, it has to be true.

Maybe 50% leave because of money.

Often the case, I’m afraid.

Where did you learn that? This may be true if 100% of your poll sample, is couples whose relationship is transactional.

While financial pressure is stressful, it is not the same as marrying for money.

Sounds high because unless she has a great job and he is spending like crazy she will have even less money so she would be worse off.

Yes, from my personal experiences, I have to say that money apparently matters a great deal.

No money doesn’t matter, a you need is love and corporation or desire and corporation.

I don't know the percentage - but definitely happens.

Better than telling them that they are useless in bed.

They say the top 2 marital disputes are sex and money, so there's that, but I think 80% sounds like it's aiming a bit high on a global context.
On the other hand, from what I hear through the grapevine, there's a chance that this is how my brother-in-law lost his wife

It's not so much that women want money, it's just they don't want the be with a dude with no income that they have to mommy for the rest of their lives

Money is defy important but a life partner shouldn't be judged on that.

Depends on what you mean by 'enough'

Seems legit
