i understand. My IQ drops more and more the longer I listen to Chana.
My husband is from a welfare family, and my father squandered all the hard earned cash my mother brought home, when his coke habit finally caught up with him. When I got knocked up, I was barely out of my teens. I had already left home, and we were living in one of the poorest districts in town. I'm a lot of things, but I'm not materialistic- and I've never been a gold-digger. I would never lower myself to being someone's trophy wife. I married my husband for his mind, not his non-existent money. :p
So if you want to crawl up my ass and lick it, suit yourself. Accept what I say at face value, or don't. It won't change the fact that we are self-taught, self-made entrepreneurs. If you find that so hard to believe, perhaps it says more about your underlying motivations in relationships than mine.
What is your stance? I'm curious because I have a different one as well. While I don't agree with staying with someone just out of money, you have to do what you have to do in order to survive. If that means playing the part to a man you don't love then so be it. I'd rather do that than have to rely on some other form of income and live on the street. It can be a mutually beneficial relationship.
