i'm not a materialistic person and when asked this question i will definitely answer "love" with conviction.i'm wth a guy who never had a job since last year and i'm the one working for us.. i'm staying simply because i love him.. but my parents and relatives always tell me that i have to choose a man who can support me financially and obviously i refuse to obey.. my friend broke up with his boyfriend recently coz the guy doesn't have a stable job and does'nt have the plan to have one.. is it really practical to choose money over love? will you be happy for that?

I'm with you....love all the way. I would never end a relationship just because my boyfriend didn't have a job or a stable income of any sort. Granted it does put extra stress on a relationship when one partner feels like they are carrying the weight of the financial burden all by themselves. But love conquers all right? As long as you love him, and him you, and aren't allowing yourself to be used by someone who really doesn't care for you other than for the fact that you take care of him financially..i say go for it. You have the right to be with whoever you want to be with, as long as it makes you happy!

I do agree with you. It's not everyday we'll find love. Money is easy to earn. I wouldn't leave someone because of money problems. As long as I can feel my partner's love for me, then I'll stay no matter what. Have a lovely day!

I will choose money over love.sorry I'm a really practical person.I know we can't lived on love and love alone.we have to know how to meet our needs and face it,we have wants we want to acquire.I rather choose someone who can support my children,can take care of them,and give their needs and wants.I don't want my children to grow up deprived.it will be unfair since I wasn't deprived myself.
