As much as you have cleared some things out, I'd still say that I didn't expect that money thing. I hope it's temporary, though.
@divine1966; made a great point about some men doing wonderful job, but making much less money (teachers, EMTs, police officers). Some of them are truly very ambitious individuals and they’re much better people than some rich CEOs (who, by the way, very often do have personality disorders such as NPD - that's why they're successful).
I didn't mean to sound offensive, I'm sorry. I come from a below average income family and I've met many wonderful people who were simply poor. I thought about them when I was replying to your text. If you meet an individual who is able to secure himself without your help and gives you what you truly need as a person, I would say f*** the income and stick with him. We have enough of very rich couples who are miserable.

MisterPaul, thank you. I think I ruffled some feathers with that one.
Just so you know, character comes first.
But like I wrote above, we were getting off topic and I decided I don't want to discuss a new man on this thread. As it is, it will be a long time before I even venture towards dating again and my ideas may change by then.
At the very least, I will reiterate the fact that I don't want to be the breadwinner, and I cannot have another mooch, user or gold digger. Been there done that. Won't do it again!
