Hypothetically:
You're dating a guy who's family are millionaires. I'm talking hundreds of millions. You don't love him as much as others you've been with, but you still care about him deeply. He asks you to marry him after 6 months of dating. What do you do? Does the money push you over the edge? I have an ex in this situation now. Everyone (including her sister) agrees this guy is a stuck up, mega-douche yet she said yes (I've never met him). It makes me so angry. I hope she really loves him but it sure didn't sound that way last time we talked. As far as I'm concerned she's shown her true colors yet I still can't get over her. She's the only girl I've really given my soul to. Curses! |

hi john. it's always hard when we hear of an ex that we loved so much is getting married. i'm sorry you're going thru that
 does she seem like the type of person to marry for wealth if she didn't truly love him? regardless of the answer, it's not going to help the pain that you're feeling i hope you continued healing on this.kd

I believe money can't buy happiness. However, money eliminates a lot of struggles. Speaking as someone who has not much money to their name...money would make my life a LOT easier. Don't know if I would be as happy though.
Honestly, if you marry poor you have a set of problems. If you marry rich you just have a different set of problems. Does that make sense?

Hi John -- Sorry you are hurting so much. This really isn't about her feelings for someone else; it's about yours. We can never crawl inside anyone's head and heart.
A line I love from jMiller's Crossing: Nobody ever knows anybody else -- not that well." Whether she loves him dearly or has settled for less than you think she deserves -- I don't think that knowledge can make a whit of difference in your own pain. And the only way out is through it.
