Love/relationship Isn't All About Money. by Nobody: 11:27am On Jan 05, 2015
Cheating (Infidelity) and neglect actually do much more damage than lack of money.


So many times I have read threads on relationship...and it struck me time after time that (some male) posters were/are on a mission to prove to us that the major/basic principle of managing a relationship is money and more money. I really don't know if this is a societal myth or a story we sold to ourselves to avoid dealing with the actual relationship issues...(perhaps it is a combination of both).


This ideology is going to continue if we don't make a conscious effort to address it.
I am yet to see any human (male/female) who doesn't crave financial security.
Lets not act like Love and Money are mutually exclusive goods... they can both exist simultaneously in a relationship. If this is the case -Perfect.
Money is part of our everyday existence and as the number of gold-digging females rise...there is a big divide between the good/bad.
That doesn't change the fact that some of us want more than the money. We want you guys to communicate.
*We want you to be involved
*We want time/attention ...this is one of the most precious resources you can pour into a relationship.
*We want loyalty (please don't tell me to get a dog...lol)...etc
If we do all this and many more, there is a good chance, the relationship would improve drastically.


In a nutshell, managing a relationship well isn't that complicated, yes- it could be time consuming but it isn't Further Maths...lol. It's one of those basic life skills that isn't taught @schools.
If a relationship is floundering, all it takes to improve it is a little time and commitment to making things better. Like all great relationships , the rewards are definitely worth the effort.
There are positive relationships . When you begin to inject the right attitudes into your relationship - you would see constructive results.

Lol @Bolded


Love/Relationship was not meant to be about money.
But this days, money now do the talking for some guys
and the ladies respect the "benjamin".

60% of 100 ladies would go for a rich guy instead of an average loving dude. (Who no wan ferrari grin )


The average guy would rather stay on his own and wait till he gets few cash to impress a lady.
And when he gets small change, He will end up spending it on the lady, discarding his own problems grin

Among the 40% of the ladies, you will find the ones who dont really care about the financial strength of the dude.
They can be a source of inspiration to the dude.

I just assumed those numbers (60 and 40, Not sure about the percentage) cheesy .

Nobody is innocent here, both the guys and ladies are guilty ! tongue cool


Money and Love is needed to balance the relationship. wink

Thank God I'm a guy, if to say I be girl ehn, I for no agree with the op... awon eniyan buruku ti ba awon eyan rere je undecided. Meaning the bad ones have spoilt the good ones.

Money is not love, money cannot buy love but money is important to sustain love I can't remember how many threads that was opened last year by females on how frustrating it is to date a broke nigga.

Some girls be like "op u've said ur own, this won't stop us from looking for money and more money before dating" , some guys be like "hmmmm op.... Why did U think I lost Chichi to Ebuka cry? I must clear this container first before approaching Nkechi" embarassed.

as always it depends on d side of the coin u find ursef. when u have kids u'd realise the importance of money. love won't send them to d best schools.
love won't feed them
love won't clothe them
love won't house them.
I pray for a woman who will love me n keep urging n encouraging me to make that money n not one who will tell me she will stick with me even if I don't have money.

Most ladies understand the language of money
Most ladies understand the language of taking and not giving







Its only few that knows the principles of love
Only few will understand what u wrote down if money wasn't involved.

Majority are in olorunshogo
Surulere ones have being termed fools because those ones care to understand what u just posted.

Story for the god!
OP, can You marry a Broke dude?

You may not need money to date someone, but You sure need money to sustain loving that someone.

Any Lady that says they can date a guy without money is just deceiving Herself. undecided

I am happy someone has good comprehension skills. Not asking me if I can marry a broke nigga, I am sure there are so many Financial status between rich/poor.

So, why is it that when people hear Love isn't all about money, the first question they ask if Can you marry a broke guy?.
There is a big difference between a broke guy and a hustling young man. Even if he is broke, ain't there instances a couple got married and doors started opening?

Yes. My siggy is exactly what I am saying. They are not mutually exclusive...love/money can actually co-exist in a relationship and vice-versa.
The problem is, when people see you marry a rich man, they say it's because of money. Forgetting that a good % of rich men wives suffer neglect.
