Money over Love?

July 14, 2010 9:44pm CST
A guy tells his girlfriend that he is dating for two years that he has to take time away from the relationship because money means everything to him and he isn't happy without it overflowing and that he doesnt want her to let him go but feels that she should respect the fact that he needs to fall back on the relationship to focus on his money. They don't live together and the girlfriend can do nothing else but repected his wishes but is she sopposed to support his obsession with money because some could care less if they had none? Should she feel violated for finding out that she was second best? Should she consider this an excuse for something that he is not telling her? Should she run while she has a chance and wait for the someone that can balance the two? Should she wait patiently and lonely for him to let her know when things can be back to normal again?

no, the 'love' of money is the root of all evil. she should try to sit down and really have a talk with him and if he doesnt want to listen to what she has to say she should run. They should both listen to each other about the situation. If they cant find common ground they should go separate ways

Hi,Solovely83! I think there are two explanations for his action.One,he does love money more than his girlfriend.This kind of guys do exist in this world.They put more emphasis on money and power than love.The other,it's just an excuse.There is something happening and he is reluctant to tell his girlfriend. So what is important is that how he acts to his girlfriend.Does he ever show care,concern,love to his girlfriend?If so,maybe something is happening and he doesn't want to tell her.He can't just say that he loves money more after they have a really,really good time together.If not,maybe he has never loved her.It's just a game to him. Have a face-to-face talk and try to figure out what he is really thinking.And then decide whether he deserves her love or not.If not,let go.He doesn't worth your love. Have a nice day!
