Love v. Money

[Melody]

You are married and your husband is wealthy. You guys are separated, but he pays your car note and your rent plus child support. You guys have 4 kids together with the youngest being three years old. You are dating a younger man who treats you with more affection than your husband. You boyfriend doesn't have as much money, but be treats you like you are precious plus he is faithful and loyal to you. Your husband has asked to get back with you and he is buying you a 5 bedroom house in Riverside County somewhere. What would you do?

That is so tough and I feel for the woman who is really going through that.

Taking care of one child is hard, but I can't imagine how stressed or strapped-for-cash I would be if I had to take care of 4 kids alone.

I have seen so many wealthy men giving out more than $5000.00 in divorce/family court. So I say she should consider happiness over wealth. Because who wants to be miserable and teach their kids the cycle of unhealthy relationships

What do you guys think about receiving or demanding child support? Some folks say that it is an American thing because some Americans aren't loyal to their kids and family.

IN THAT SITUATION, I'D TAKE LOVE OVER MONEY. AT MY STAGE NOW IN LIFE, IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY BUT STABILITY, GOAL ORIENTED ( ACTUALLY MAKING IT HAPPEN), JUST STRIVE TO BE FINANCIALLY COMFORTABLE AND OFCOURSE LOVE.

Hate to say this, but it's the truth. Life is a game, and he who dies with the most toys win. You try not to hurt too many feelings along the way. I would go back with the husband, get my house and have my boy toy on the side.

Now if the boy toy intentions is to commit to me in marriage, even though he has no money, then the pridacament becomes more complicated and a real decision must be made. Remember real love ask for real commitment. The boyfriend have the luxury to treat me with more affection, he can be loyal to me and give me all his attention. He don't pay my bills, my husband who I'm seperated from does. The boyfriend has no financial pressure from me.

The real question is this, can he still love me and show all that time and affection if he has to support me?

I don't think so. If he could have, and he was all that, then he would already been taken by a single woman. Broke or not. True Love always wins over money.

THE HUSBAND WIN.

I honestly would take love over money for the simple fact that they obviously had more problems during the marriage or they would not be separated in the first place. Going back just to be in a 5 bedroom house aint worth the additional stress that must have been present in the marriage to cause the separation.

I can honestly say from experience that you can have all the money in the world and not be happy. Yes, you'll have every material thing your heart desires but when your "rich man" fails to give you the love, affection and attention every woman needs, that happiness from gaining material things withers away and you long for affection. A relationship without love may last, but for how long. You'll never be truly happy.

Money can't buy you love and love can't pay your bills but if they do love each other the lack of a lot of money should not be a problem. Love overcomes all and so long as he gives accordingly that which he can afford, he is showing his love to a degree that he can handle. I am sure she will appreciate the little that he does.

If she's smart, she'll think about her kids and choose to try and have them grow up in a healthy, happy environment. They might not be in a 5 bedroom house but they are still the father's kids so he has to maintain them so they won't be losing either way.

Many mother's choose to stay with men "for the kids sake", and end up being unhappy. What we as women need to realize is that we got to love ourselves and do what's right for us too.

LOVE CONQUERS ALL. (MY POINT OF VIEW)
