I would much rather be poor and in love than rich and unhappy. I knew when we'd only been dating for a month that I would marry Ethan, and at that point we were both quite broke. We are definitely not rich by ANY stretch or meaning of the word, but we are able to make ends meet on our own now. As for not being able to offer anything other than sex, I disagree with that too. I can't speak for every woman, but my FH has always respected my boundaries and is always very thoughtful.
He knows that I bring much more than just sex into the relationship. Apart from being his best friend, I am his confidant, help keep the apartment clean, help with meals, help with reminders, and am overall more than a sex toy. He is, of course, the same to me. Sex is a part of marriage of course, but it's not the end all be all of marriage.
Wow, totally sexist comment on his part! If all you have to give is sex, and all you want is money, that is the oldest profession, not a marriage. Our relationship is about long-term commitment. We've had some rough times, some of them without money, sex, or both.
But we didn't promise to stay together just as long as it was immediately exciting, we promised to stay together for life. This is hard. Sex we're pretty well paired however I'd say I'm more needy than him and have had to adjust since being together for 4 years. I think everything is manageable because I handle my own expectations and responsible for myself. Log in Join now.
Master March Saved Save. Why or why not? VIP October My relationship started when we were both between jobs no money and we're friends for a few years so no sex. Devoted November This is interesting and I actually did this. I can tell you that without sex and money, he is my best friend and laughs, memories and inside jokes are much more valuable than sex and money. Thank you for this post because it really solidified the fact that this man really is the one for me and we are amazing together.
