Answer 6

Money does NOT trump love. My boyfriend and I are broke and are struggling, but I'm not going ANYWHERE! He just got laid off and we aren't sure what his severance package is yet, but I'm going to stick by his side. For me, it's never been about the almighty dollar.

I understand where you are coming from though, as my situation is probably an exception. Too often relationships turn into that of greed over something, and most marriages do dissolve due to some type of financial issue.

I think many people do worry too much about money. I'm worried about it right now because we're trying to work on getting the home business expanded into a full-time venture. It's been full-time for me, but with his other job it was part-time for him. It's scary. But whether the business succeeds or fails, I will be by his side. I'll be by his side if we have to move into a box. That's how committed I am to him and us.

I find it sad that so many are jaded into thinking no one does anything for anyone unless it's measured in cash and assets. Marriage has turned into nothing more than a temporary contractual obligation, and it's really heartbreaking.

Answer 7

Yup sadly it does.  Money talks, love walks.  When a guy loses his job, the first thing he faces is an upset girlfriend/wife.   Many times that leads to a divorce.  But have you ever heard of a man leaving his woman because she lost her job?

Answer 8

It seems that (for many people) money is not much of an issue in marriages or live-in relationships when there is financial stability or more than one source of income (does not matter who makes more).

At times, when only one person is working to sustain another financially (or a family) and pay mortgage/rent, car payment(s), insurance, phone/mobile, power/water, credit card bills, etc, besides having to provide for him or her self and other(s) to eat, be clothed, for supplies, activities, doctor/dental visits, home/car reparations and so on... it makes some sense as to why money can become an issue... people struggle, oftentimes overworked and stressed (which itself can cause emotional and health-related issues), just to make ends meet.

I think that it would be helpful on behalf of the non-working S/O to chip in, there would be less financial burden on one partner, more time to spend together and have individual interests, both be equally present enough for their children (if any), less stress and perhaps less problems in some relationships (not that problems don't arise for other reasons).

Of course, situations are individual and vary, and some people prefer for their S/O to not work. But this is about those who do prefer to have less of a financial burden in their relationships.

Answer 9

Nope. Money comes and goes. You get a job, you get layed-off. You get another job.  

Answer 10

There's a saying about this.

~Money talks, bullsh!t walks~ Sad but true.
