I woman talk about something money cannot buy and her story is a major turn for most man. She shares the importance of a man’s character over money.
Here is the Story:
I would like to share my story of why money is not what woman are looking for.
When I first met my husband, he was not attractive. He doesn’t sweet talk or brings me to nice places. I got together with me as I was eligible age to get married and I have nothing to complain about him. Previously, I dated many guys online who are sweet talkers, confident, a mind of their own, earn some money etc. But most of them end up 2 timing or 3,4,5 timing me. I didn’t know how much he earns, I just felt comfortable with him.
Naturally, we got together and got a BTO after 7 months of dating. After that, then he proposes to be at a car park and we moved in to live with his family. His career wasn’t that stable. At one time in time, he was merely earning $4k a year as a self-employed person. My career was good and at one point, I was earning 33 times what he earned. While staying with his family, we have many conflicts with his siblings. He never once sides with him or argues with me for them. His only soft spot is his mum, where he would just keep quiet when I complain at times. Although he earns 20% of what I earn now, he still pays every time we go out. I pay for big-ticket items like a house, car and holidays while he pays for everyday expenses. I felt love as I know he is not stingy or calculative with his money and spends everything he has on our family.
He always says his money is my money.
I graduated from NUS while he graduates from an overseas university. I never feel that he is stupid. In fact, I learn a lot from him as he watches a lot of documentaries and has lots of common sense. I may have better education from him, but he taught me many things about life. In fact, the boring guy he was 10 years ago, has turned into a sweet talker. He still praises me, give me confidence and hug and touch me at times. He also pays attention to me. Whenever I am in pain, I would scream and he will appear immediately. Although I paid for the car, he drives me around and fetches me wherever I go.
He would call me and pick me up without me asking. Sometimes, I would reject him as I feel is a waste of petrol and he would still insist. I may not be the ideal woman to marry.
I can’t cook well, I don’t take care of kids that well, I don’t clean well. But he never complains about me. He loves me the way I am. Sometimes I think what have I done to deserve such a good man like him.
Sometimes I will say he is almost perfect, if he earns more he will be perfect. I am still a money-minded woman. Money is still very important to me. It is ironic that my husband is not rich, but I love him the way he is as his character is more important than anything else. If you ask the younger me if I will date someone who earns lesser than me, I will say no.
But character is actually more important than how much he earns.
