Does Love Pay the Bills?

Love can see you through any trials you may have in your life. Love can nothing to support your financial needs though. Love can't pay your bills. It would be nice if it could. But that is just a dream.

In an aspect, Yes love pays the bills. If you think upon it deeply, paying for the bills for a few months is just fine. But paying the bills for love in a span of 3 years and more is quite enormous. I know you are responsible by knowing that you are a single mother of 3 and other than that, you pay the bills and work for it alone. Your hard earned cash is just not worth feeding someone whose as lazy as your boyfriend. I hope you don't mind me saying that. But its just my opinion. I know you love him and that you'd sacrifice for him. But is he doing his part? I don't think so. 3 years is even enough for me. It's like giving him 3 long years to find a job to help pay the bills, etc.. But he didn't. So that's 3 years of spoon feeding a lazy cow who could have worked in the barn but decided not to. You're just too kind. I know you don't want to leave him right then and there, but try and maybe even force him to find a job . give him a little more time. But don't wait for a year. You waited long enough (3 years long). Love is way too powerful .and sometimes even abusive. I just hope you make the right decision; the practical one in my opinion. Best of luck .

Hi, kendria21. As the Bible states, "God helps those whom help themselves." Your boyfriend should at least try to find work. He should not just complain about how hard it is for him to find a job. Love does not pay the bills in this case. But love does pay the bills in this case that I am about to explain to you. Listen clearly. If your boyfriend loves you like he says that he does, then he will get out and try to find something to do that will bring income into your home. Even if he has a hard time trying to find a job, at least he could go out and search for one. That shows effort worth considering. If you have three mouths to feed, apply for EBT Foodstamps. I am sure that you are income eligible. If your boyfriend is not getting his unemployment benefits, then he should try an seek an legitimate and legal way to bring income into the household. I have three kids as well. All of my kids are from my husband. We have been married for nine years. Life was not always that easy for us. One time he believed in just having faith and not finding a job. Now after all of these years, he understands that he has to get out and find some kind of way of bringing income in the household. Your boyfriend should try and attempt to find a job to do. I am sure that you don't want to be in a position where you and your kids don't have a place to lay your heads at. If he really love you and your kids, then he will get out and make effort to find a job. I know that it is very hard. Trust me, I know. I would rather see my husband make effort than to just sit back and say that it is hard to find a job. He can make something happen, by leaving the house and seeking employment. I hope that your boyfriend will get it together very soon. You have a good head on your shoulders and it is very obvious that you are handling your business as a woman. But your boyfriend isn't. It is time that he should make some kind of effort. Who does he expect is going to take care of him? How long will he not seek work? He has to find work. A man should work to provide for his family. You are a smart and intelligent woman. Continue to be this way, even if your boyfriend does not have himself together.

gurl.. your mother is right. Though i know Love is love..but at times u have to be practical.. if that boyfriend of yours really LOVE you he will find a way to be able to support you in the future,not just for you but for your children as well. I myself have three kids and i love my husband..yet we do not stop there, he is finding ways and means to be able to support all of us..so someday we will have financial security.. i hope you know what i mean. try talking to your guy and tell him how you feel about his status, and i hope he will understand you. if he does not, He does not deserve you..

Love really exist in this world. And i strongly believe in love and it builds so many things in life. I also believe that love does not pay bills and it is not guaranty to make our love lasts longer if we are hungry and in poverty. Let's find a job for us to support to our daily needs and as you have said 3 kids to be feed. Then try to move on for your children. Just think of your children as it is the main source of our energy to move. You know, I am not believe that love only can make the couple stay happy. But if it is balance equal money and love then definitely happiness ever. This is just my feelings.

I think that you're boyfriend has a dream or dreams for he both of you to be financially stable. Not being greedy, but if you are financially stable then you could have so many privilege in life. Did he finish a course already? Many say that money isn't important for true lovers as long as the love is still there. I don;t think so, because when the two of you get married and you only work for him then he found someone a feeding bottle for himself! what a trash! Ask him what he wants to do in his life and you can analyze it from his answer. Lazy guys don't deserve someone who is hardworking.
