| Would you marry someone just because they are rich ?
Posted: 1/13/2006 1:16:50 PM | I wouldnt marry a guy just for money! The best guys are the ones who can have fun without money!
Women who are looking for a "sugar daddy" are one of the reasons a lot of guys dont want a relationship because the woman expects him to drop every cent he makes on her. | |

They don't love them, they barely like them, the sex isn't so good, if fact they find them insufferable a lot of the time.
That sounds like a lot of peoples MARRIAGES right now.
And, without the money !!
I think this statement is unappropriated. I would think at least when they entered the marriage there were some attraction and love or there would be no marriages. The insufferable is a latter thing after the marriage and no one should expect it to be happened right at the beginning.
And for the Riches, I really don't think you can dash a case of cash in front the one you want to marry and and he/she will follow you on your demands. There are still lot of things you have to work out, to let that person know that he/she is much loved is the centre of your life.
I would marry for love only, if not my love to him, it would be his love to me, money or no money. In case of an insufferable rich man, at least I could say to myself I marry that rich yucky yicky creature because I am moved and touched by his love to me, and yet, why would a Rich spend that much time on me?? | |

How many times have we felt the tug of our intuition telling us 'this doesn't feel right' but because of all those shiny, bright objects dancing in front of us we forage ahead. Such things as he/she makes me feel good, has a prestigious job, is beautiful, shows strength, takes care of me, makes me feel safe and secure, has whatever we need. Need is the operative.
How many times have I heard someone say, "I'm looking for someone to complete me." How many of the old songs send out that very message - Somewhere out there is my Soul Mate, the person who will make me whole? We give ourselves away and then become miserable. The person becomes insufferable. And we blame them for their shortcomings; rather than looking inward to see where we sold ourselves to get that need met in what becomes recognizable as a loveless relationship.
This is where the need to develop discernment applies. The discernment to know ourselves and our Achille's heel; and recognize when we have allowed someone to pierce our heel. We then begin the dance of delusion. | |

I think we should all examine our true motives for getting into our relationships. Who or what are we there for ? I think going into a relationship under false colors, dooms it to failure. What does that other person have that you want so badly ? Are you there for them, because you like them ? Or are you there for yourself, because you want what they have ? Or what you think they are going to give you. It doesn't have to be money, there are all sorts of things or qualities a person could have that give us " ulterior motives ". Money is just the easiest example. I think the secret to succesful relationships isn't what others are willing to give you, but rather, what you have to offer. | |

True, but just as people can be just as miserable being poor, as being rich, people don't marry someone for their poorness. The question is 'Would you marry someone JUST BECAUSE they are rich ?'....and I believe there are people who WOULD, although it doesn't assure happiness, or even love. As I said before, life is too short to settle for less than happiness. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!! | |

Posted: 1/14/2006 1:45:26 PM | Just catching up on the thread.
I can go on with my day now with hope seeing Montreal and Nipelons thoughts. You are such fantastic people. (And neither one of you should be single much longer..geez! Whew!)
The thing I caught that was interesting was the offering/giving. What is it that you have to offer and give to someone else for balance and strength in a relationship?
Good question we should all ask ourselves. What's worthy about us inside, the big stuff?
For me, what I offer is always my downfall. Strange how life works that way. Laughing..post on people.. | |

Posted: 1/15/2006 8:45:57 PM | NO WAY... I've said this before and I will say it again...
I would rather have love in my heart, than money in my pocket. I dont want a man just because he has money. I want a man because he makes me happy, I would rather be in love with a guy and just gettin by, than have the money and not the love...  | |

Posted: 1/15/2006 9:03:16 PM | I would like to say no...but Years of struggling I would like a break and enjoy life , yes that may be 'wrong' but hey...I'll worry about that while I sit by the pool and enjoy life !
Money can't buy happiness but that was said by someone who had money. heehee !! | |

Posted: 1/15/2006 9:56:38 PM | It depends on a lot of things. Your age, your current relationship status, your desires that require money in order to do.
I'd like to travel around the world and experience different cultures and witness all the great things on earth. So if I were to marry this woman with unlimited amounts of money who I despise, would I be able to travel like this? What are my requirements for sticking around and for how long? What if I truely meet someone I fall in love with, am I able to file for a divorce? Doesn't matter if I get a penny out of it either, I got to travel!  | |
