Money is power....the one with the most money control the relationship
not really, there are deadbeat dudes all over who don't even work, yet are controlling the women they are living with.
Many married men as well who make a lot of money and their wives stay home all day watching soaps and spending their money control their relationship as well.
I agree with this. I think once you get engaged then it's time to lay it all out on the table. It definitely shouldn't be a post marriage conversation.
Maybe I just don't know how to behave LOLExactly. You're always going to be on your best behaviour...it's like people who are in "online" relationships and never met - or hardly see one another.
no the one with the most money MAJORITY of the time controls the relationship.The one with most the balls (figuratively) controls the realtionship
LOL of course you wouldn't and that's the point when your relationship should start progressing towards marriage. What's the point in getting married for real if you're just going to play the role before it's time? This is how people end up in 10 year long term relationships and men refer to chicks as "wifey"
That's your opinion and I don't agree with it.
whatever makes you feel good.Control is a state of mind, not a paycheque.
Reincar said you shouldn't know how much your s/o makes and I agree with that. You can talk about debt and gauge their financial habits/situation without knowing their salary.yall are insane. once you get past 27ish, finances is a critical part of the discussion.
im not about to wait until i fall in love with a chick to find out that she's got $120k in student loans.
matter of fact finances come up in the conversation after a couple months of dating. at least in my situation. it doesn't take long to peep how somebody is living (car, house, etc.), if they're paying their bills, and if they have money problems.
you can disagree all you want, but i know i'm right. you can "date" for years and still wont know who your mate is until you've lived together indefinitely. how do you really know how you function as a married couple, when you have tested those waters?LOL of course you wouldn't and that's the point when your relationship should start progressing towards marriage. What's the point in getting married for real if you're just going to play the role before it's time? This is how people end up in 10 year long term relationships and men refer to chicks as "wifey"
That's your opinion and I don't agree with it.
and that's usually the one with the most money.The one with most the balls (figuratively) controls the realtionship
Well if you want to give that person 100% when you marry them, that means you're giving less than 100% before you're married to them. Some percentage to 100% is a cotdamn progression.I used to think like that when I was younger.
If a man wants to marry you, he will...whether you're together for 1 yr, 10 yrs, living together, not living together etc. I don't need even need that piece of paper to be fully committed to someone. I don't believe that marriage is a progression - you don't get married cause it's the next step - you get married because you feel that this person is your soulmate, you don't want to live without this person in your life and you want to give 100% to that person. I want to make sure I test the waters before I make that big leap.
I spoke in generalities.....in general if you make more money you control the relationship.
woman with more money: "I want to see this film."
woman with more money: "i'm paying AS usual, and we're going to see the new tyler perry flick"
man with less money:
man gets online: "my girl may make more money than me but im still the king in my relationship!"
man, dumb ass FEMALE logic, b. better question is why would the chick making $20 an hour want the nikka making $10 an hour? shouldn't she be searching for the man making $40 an hour?
