here, the post about girls saying that guys has to earn similar or more than them. This is a follow-up post, and I guess you can say, “inspired” by the comments and discussions made on that post too.
Thanks for sharing your views regarding the topic. It’s nice to see so many likes on the post, I assume to be from people who support my view on that post. It’s also interesting to note that, with a quick scroll-through, you can see that about 20% of that post’s likes (excluding the 7 “haha” reactions) came from girls (out of 49 likes/reactions rn), while on the contrary, about 75% of likes on the top comment there (with 27 likes as of rn) about being resentful due to financial reasons after marriage, came from girls.
Just to be clear, I don’t think this topic is as simple as “love conquers all”, or a “love vs money” kind of thing. It is never that simple. Money is important. However, some people seem to fail to consider other factors such as integrity, loyalty, honesty, teamwork, and more, which is part of the point that I was trying to bring across in the original post.
Everyone has their own views on this matter, but what I will say is this. You can want whatever you want, have whatever “standards and preferences” that you want, you can choose to be the type to leave your partner (guy or girl) due to the reason of them not reaching your financial expectations that you have of them. But don’t cry foul if one day your partner leaves you for the same reasons.
Life has its ups and downs, and so is your income over time. You may lose your job and never find one as high paying, you may fall very sick and be unable to work ever again, you may choose to be a stay-home parent for your kids, and when you return to workforce, may not be able to earn anywhere near as much as your partner now, would it be okay then for your partner to leave you for the reason being that they feel resentful you earn so much less than them now? After all, to some people, integrity, loyalty, love, care, and sticking through thick and thin doesn’t seem to be as important as money. It’s your life, your choice.
