Do material things matter?
| Tue, 04-20-2004 - 2:50am |
Wonder if you find out that your MM does not have as nice a STUFF as you thought he did? Wonder if he always told you , you deserve better ! I think I might have found out something about my MM. I was wondering how much value a man puts on the house someone lives in? The belongings they have and all that? Do men really feel bad if the woman they love has much better wealth wise? Could that stop them from being with you? Even If they truely love you?

Some men are insecure if the woman makes more money. I am in a position now to make double my husband's salary and he has told me it concerns him. He thinks I might leave him because I can financialy be on my own. That is how I found out he was keeping me down (wouldn't support me going back to college) all these years! I guess if you start out that way he shouldn't feel insecure.
My MM has a lot more money/things than I do, but I didn't know either because he was renting a home in my neighborhood while his BIG house was being built. He could loose it all as well and I would still be there, he is so sweet and funny those are SOME of the reasons I am with him.

That said, it is a two way street. I know my wife always resented the fact that SHE made more than I do. She wanted to stay home with the kids, even though when my son was born, she couldn't wait to get back to work after 5 weeks. And she always held it over my head as if I wasn't working as hard as she was. It was about respect (or lack thereof), not money.
