Am not a prophet of doom. But I see u breaking up with him by dis time next year. Cos ur already starting d process by dis post above.

Why are u comparing him with odas? Why do u use ur friends and oda ppl as a standard ur boyfriend must attain to?

Its obvious ur unhappy with ur relationship.

Does he hav a dream or a goal dat will improve his financial condition within 5yrs? Does he hav a plan to actualize dat dream? If he does, 5 yrs from now, u wd either regret u left him or be happy u stayed.

U ladies must undastand dat being broke and being poor are not d same. Broke is temporarily not having cash but having d capacity or potential to make a lot of money in d future. Poor is having no cash and lacking d mental capacity or human potential to make more money in d future.

Enahi: Sorry girlfriend,dating a broke guy is not worth it most times. Am dating one presently,I won't call him broke because he is working. But He is very stingy or I don't know if its because I don't ask him for anything. Am seriously having a rethink.

StevePenninho: No one was born to be rich. We all ave d same 24 hrs. Work hard for ur money. Don't belive in alredy planned destiny before birth

Ddy: mind u,big guys of dis days dnt settle for pple like u.we need independent ladies that will support us is tinz goes wrong cos change is d only constant tin in life.

Lily4star: Now everyone knows your bf is broke , why you dey fall em hand for public nah.

You weren't forced into the relationship and you sef know he doesn't ve, as long as you both understand eachother, and you sound like a babe that cares about what friends say about your relationshipn infact you listen to advice from friends a lot, stop comparing jor. Since you say he has a bright future e go better, support him, encourage him and pray for him as well too. Stop bringing your relationship in public for people to ve something to talk about. Now get ready for the rest things others ll say, I trust Nl

MissTeaseMe:
Best post on this thread.
Well analyzed and addressed.
How people easily forget that it takes 2 to be in relationship.
Afterall the guy did not kidnap you, so y are u complaining

Looking for the perfect guy when u are not the perfect girl. An HUNGRY GIRL, with a BROKE GUY will always be frustrated.

Ndababa: Well, love is naturally expensive....

prettythicksme: dude take it easy on me are you a broke guyI am talking to broke guys okay

OlamiB:
Must Ɣ☺u butress your point by calling me foolish?nd who says I dnt have my own money? I respect my bf a lot and I see him as my husband already

Oya contribute.

fscream: It is very impt for all especially ladies to know that there is a very thin line btw ideal love and prostitute;Pay well to service well.
U might just be a wh**e in his profile while u r there praising ur bf for bn a caring guy.
Also, the chase after not-so-many rich men is a rat race. Dont think u r d only one eyeing dat guy with full pocket. u better be ready to break wateva record break-able like husain bolt to stay up there! Many av ran it on me got their legs or somethg broken *trueconfession*
Lastly, any guy u help to overcome his financial drought especially in dis harsh economy will likely not forget u. Even if he cheats on u wen he's ok wit someone like YOU and YoU and yOU looking for rich guy...he'll come back to u coz he sees those YOUs as prostitute, gold diggers or d confused and you are his Angel.

When you say Man are you referring to your Husband or your Boyfriend?

If you are referring to your Boyfriend, then let me ask, what Morally justification do you have to demand for him to take care of you , what ownership do u have over him? Is it a right for him to succumb to you demand? HELL NO. What ever he will do for you should be consider a privilege not a Right.

If you are referring to your Husband , then he as the Man of the House has a responsibility to take care of his Household , you his wife inclusive. Even the Bible says in 1 Timothy 5:8 "any man that does not take care of his Household is worst than an Infidel"

My dear if you mindset has been that of a Guy to take care of his Babe all the time, you have to change that mindset and learn to fend and take care of yourself with or without a man, But if you are Married , please support your Husband in fending for your Household.

OlamiB:
I am not. I do most of the spending and also giving him money for this career

Ilovenigeria:
Normally I would have ignored you but let me just tell you this...IF YOU GUYS THINK THAT LADIES HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER IN A RELATIONSHIP THEN YOU GUYS SHOULD PLEASE STOP GOING AFTER THEM.
That your girlfriend contributed nothing except her pussey does not mean that all girls are same.

Kennedyiheme: look the dreams most guys is hve is really big, he mite get rich smeday, in america girls dnt realy care abt money, why are africans this dead in tinkin....

Angeldemivida:

You guys are accusing this poster wrongly
She has a good heart, she only shared her mind. She is still staying with the scarcity of money, she was only wishing that he can improve for his own good too and for them to look good and comfortable. We humans all like good things, the way the Kardashians moved from loving rich black basketballers to rich black musicians right now, the rich footballers may be the next target. lol.
The funny thing about good hearted ladies like these is that they are left with the poor guys while the sharp ones that really love their men rich gets away with the wealthy men. Love is funny sha.

angelo82:


Whats wrong if you both have and able to share responsibilities like its done in Europe….

Obinoscopy: If I were lady I won't go after guys because of their riches, no. If you do, you'd lose your respect and love from such rich men.

You'd lose the love cos they know you don't love them but their money. You'd lose the respect cos you don't even believe in yourself, you don't see yourself as capable of been independent financially.

I have seen rich men fall heavily to the ground and couldn't rise up again. If you inquire critically, you'd realise that such rich men must have married gold-diggers who was outto chop the money from the onset. Men detest such. They can however marry gold-diggers because of her beauty (to flaunt to the society and to ensure that his kids are beautiful too) but he'll never love and respect her.

What every wise lady should look out for in a guy is one with prospects and aspirations that is in sync with yours. You can be the inspiration to make your husband very rich. I tell you most solemnly, a man who became great courtesy of his wife would forever remain indebted to her and would love her for the rest of his life.

I know of guys who even borrowed to get married but are now very rich. That's courtesy of their wives. When you hear those guys talking about their wives in public, you'd see the love, admiration and gratitude written all over his face.

The adage: "Behind every successful man there's a woman" is now becoming useless because ladies are now lazy and wants to marry an already successful man. This has to stop if we want progress in our society.

I'm not saying our ladies should marry a tout or a beggar. I'm simply saying she should marry a hard working guy with prospects and aspirations regardless of whether he's rich or poor. Together, you guys can change the world .

OlamiB:
Who is this one? That ur gf is dating Ɣ☺u for money doesn't mean every girl is like her ok? I have been with my bf for close to 3years now nd I haven't spent his 10k, if the relationship is based on money, I would have left even before the first 3months.

chlowi: I remember a thread similar to this years back by another Op, where I made a comment about sticking To a guy who has nothing But a hard worker, And we both work hard to earn and make it!!!

I was bashed by guys in that thread! You wanna Knw? They said I must be ugly for wanting to settle with a broke guy ,

Now in that thread, my comment was my opinion, I did not just accept that the guy who is broke But with potentials deserved true love, I also accepted that i,the lady(that is if am the one in question) would also work hard to earn and support the little she could!!!

Money remains An essential. Ingredient. In any relationship, be it brother and sister or man and woman, and as such both parties wd have to support each other emotionally, financially etc and irrespective of whom it comes from, adds a spice to that relationship.

I have witnessed many situations where a lady sticks to a particular guy tru thin and just when it became thick he dumps her

I have also seen where. A man would go extra miles for his woman and when things become less rosy, the lady in questions cowers ...

that's life, however it comes we make due and The most of it and be better...

I understand the Op( altho not with the part her friends were mentioned)
I must give her credit most women would zoom off bfor it hits a year but she has stayed(bearing in mind all the negative vibes dt cmes with being broke) 3years and as a matter of fact would still stay investing time, money and wisdom (correct me if am wrong OP) common, let's give credit when due ! But. That aside, the whole essence Of the thread was to expose how it feels to be in a relationship with a broke guy!! Which she successfully did in a nutshell.

May God see. You both through!!! Keep praying for you both! And if u feel u can't stick any longer well he ain't your hubby yet!!!
