How can a relationship continue when money becomes the problem...

In such a poor situation love would be the strongest force. I would go for romantic walks to my local park. I would have a cheap picnic in the field next to the river. I would borrow some bikes from a friend and go cycling to the beach for an enjoyable day out. I would send my true love notes declaring my love and give him little presents like a drawing of something seen on our walk. I know cuddling and kissing are free. So are fresh air and exercise will give good health and fitness.

Hi fsll, It is easier to say that love overcomes everything- but it does at some point or the other. In a marriage it becomes the most important issue if one is not careful. In your case if you love someone , be honest to that person about your own difficulties rather than hide it and also be positive and be on the lookout for making yourself financially more stable. I am sure there are ways of doing that. Dont you have a job? or are you still a student? however be frank about yourself, I have seen that most people are able to accept things easily when they know the truth...All the best

if that person you are in a relationship will not accept how much money you have, then is that the person you want to have. She has to accept you for who you are, not what you can give her materially. i wish you the best.

Hello, Fsll:-) My partner and I have been in that kind of situation.We were financially hard ups. But, our love for each other sustained the relationship. He asked me to give him a chance to work for us first, which I did and he tried himself to do better with his work. My partner is just gifted that he knows how to write and for seversl times joined writing competitions and won. The money didn't last long but he gained networks through his writing skills.He is now earning extra through his networks. I, on the other hand, continue to work and really save to make both ends meet. We trimmed down our expenses and change our lifestyle into simpler one.We compromised and sacrificed.And it had worked well. now, at least, we have a little cash to spend for our small whims.:-) Goodluck.:-)

I am living with my boyfriend for many years now and money matters are sometimes the cause of our arguments. We argue about how to budget it well in order for the budget to be equal and fair for both of us. But, we realized that it isn't so good to fight with each other just because of money. Of course, more than anything else, our love for each other is very important and we don't want to lose it just because of that money. Well for now, we are working hard and doing our best in order to get extra income so that money won't be a problem for us anymore.

Hello fsll518, Logically, you should dump her immediately, but emotionally,i guess you can't because you love her so much. But you must also be aware of these "feeling' you had for her. Often people tend to say "I love her very much" but usually refer more to physical attraction rather than the honest-feeling-of-love itself, this is not true love. You ought to observe clearly your situation right now. That is my point of view.

fsll518, Why do you think that your girlfriend needs to be materially satisfied by you in the very first place? Is going to the movies, giving expensive gifts or lavish expensive dinners going to win hearts? Huh! I just hate to say that you are not going to get anyone genuine enough to like who you really are. I feel that you should never be someone who you are actually not and never wear a hat that is too big for your head. You should always be honest about yourself and let the other half accept who you are. Not what you can or cannot afford! Looking from what you have posted, I recommend that you concentrate on your career first before contemplating a serious relationship. Stop wasting your time on frivolous pursuits, so cannot be young forever. Have a nice day.

that will be a real tough situation to live in.One should try to see the possibilities of earning a lot to meet the loved one's legitimate demands.Or persuade the other to share what you can get for the moment.if the opponent is in real love and can understand your genuine attempt to earn,you are blessed.if not,just leave the other for it will not spoil anybodies emotions.

I can not imagine myself to be in that situation. You just wanted to be richer just to meet him/her materially? I dont get it? Why do you have to meet her in that way? Is heart and soul is not counted anymore when it comes to love? The only thing you can do to solve this is to accept the fact that this is only what you can offer but you are very honest and willing to make him/her happy. Its not easy to think of a way to be richer.... the whole world is having a problem about that. maybe you are not that rich but if your love is richer than everything then I dont see any problem on with that.

If I am in that position, then I will tell him honestly my present crisis, my fears and ask her suggestions regarding financial matters. I would rather tell the true condition. Whether he change or not after knowing the real score, I will accept things and try to solve the problem with him. For that, I will an inner peace of mind that in my conscience. I told him the things he must know. Wherever our relationship lead us.. I did my best and trying everything for us to become stronger in a midst of financial crisis in present life. Who knows, It may be also helpful for both of us and maybe in this situation. Two brains will work than one in solving the problem.

No my dear I have not ever been in such situation. Actually don't know I Have to face this situation any day what to do. I wish God bless all and people would not face this situation. I think it will be very difficult to handle.

solve the money problem.
