I don't understand why a lot of you are acting like finances doesn't/shouldn't play a part in a woman's decision of picking a spouse.
I'm not saying it should be all or nothing, but it plays a part.
Just like if you met the perfect woman personality & looks wise, made a decent living but was a known whore...you'd probably have reservations about settling down with her. Because there are many factors/standards that go into your decision of wifing a woman.
In this case, she says dude was a nice guy. She liked him (dated him for 10 months) but threw him in the bushes for being a bum and having no ambition.
I don't blame her for leaving. Yall need to stop with these unrealistic expectations. Money is a factor.
I don't blame her for leaving either, she obviously knew what she wanted (which is always most important when choosing a mate)
But money doesn't have to be a factor for everybody (as long as bills are paid and all), so why she mad for? As far as she knew she was doing the right thing so why this:
"This has completely baffled and upset me. I dated him for 10 months when I thought he was penniless, proof I'm not a fukking gold-digger. I am a 26 year old woman who needs to be pragmatic, I can't just indefinitely date someone with the future being so uncertain.
He could've said something, ANYTHING during our break up when I was explaining my doubts about our relationship. Instead he said nothing, and now he refuses to talk to me. It makes absolutely no sense."
The dude never relied on her for anything money-wise, and yet she dated him for 10 months
while somehow deciding he was penniless. This is the part that got me baffled tbh. 'Cause she makes it sound like she was doing him a favor or something, that's the part of the narrative I have problems with.
And like someone already said before, if she wanted to be fully pragmatic she would've sat down with him and had a proper talk before just deciding to break it off. But she didn't...and when the truth came to light she felt some type of way. Well
