She's given up money and material things for love, to be with me.

Question - (22 October 2009) 5 Answers - (Newest, 22 October 2009)
A male United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Just looking for some input from women or men, anyone who has been with a lot of money and passed it by for true love.

My fiance has dated several very wealthy OLDER men, and I mean very wealthy and I mean very older, like 30 years older. But now she is with me and we are in love. Her family did not approve the age differences of the previous relationships, she almost married one, so she actually broke it off. She says she was not in love until she met me and I am the only person she has said I love you too.

Is it weird that I actually feel threatened though because I know I will never be rich and we are both actually struggling right now to build our lives together. I do not doubt her love for me, but I just do not understand how I could have won her over. She likes expensive things and the lavish lifestyle and she could have had it, but now doesn't. I guess I worry she will second guess down the road.

Ask oldersister agony auntLol, I've had well off boyfriends but it wasn't MY money nor did I earn it so it wasn't like I passed up anything to settle down with my then 22yr old school teacher boyfriend for the next 7 yrs that only made 21k a year at first! We lived in a one bedroom efficiency apartment and had to count every penny in order to be able to eat every month, living on paycheck to paycheck. My parents thought I had lost my mind but I didn't care.

As long as a guy is employed, has excellent work ethic, and makes enough to support himself, I could care less.

Ginalolabridga agony auntMoney does not always but happiness that i truly believe, i have been with both kind of men that had money and others who were just ordinary with not much, and to be honest it makes no difference because the person you are in love with is wealth to you!

Love they say will conquer anything and trust me it does.

She loves you for you accept that now, regardless of who she has been with what matters is she prefers you to them!

satindesire agony auntI did the same for my husband. When I met him, he was literally penniless. I was taking HIM out for dinner, after being used to a much wealthier lifestyle. For years he worried about me leaving him for a rich man, because that's what I was 'used to', but I truly love my husband and didn't care if he didn't have any money.

Fact is, real love trumps wealth any day, period.
