..hi fellas.. what would you do if you found out from your spouse that he/she married you just for the sake of money?.. Its so difficult to accept that fact for me especially that I'm not rich and I can only work for my family's daily needs.. Just last week, my husband tried to drove me out from the house because I'm not giving him any money.. he's too much already, I decided to stop giving him money since he doesn't value it at all.. he is just using the money for personal pleasure, (to finance his "other girl") and his gambling.. I decided to save the money for my daughter instead of giving it to him.. because he can't even provide the food of his family.. he's always relying on me.. I'm starting to hate him already.. I don't even want to see his face..

I am so sorry to hear that this kind of thing is happened to you. I, as a woman, and not married, am totally angry with this type of man. If I were you probably I would runaway and took my kid with me. It is useless to have a husband like that. I don't like if someone too look on someone by what he has but not by who he is. I think if he can drive you away, it means he can hit you as well. I hate that violence at home. I know it may not be easy since you are married to him and you also have kid with him. But, I suggest you to save yourself and your kid. I am sorry, but I just can't stand that behavior. Moreover that you are able to work and earn, you have nothing to fear about. Good luck my friend..

It is sad to hear that when your husband is just treat you as the money tree. He is the kind of person just want his wife to give him money and did not work by himself. I have heard a lot of the similar stories like yours and end up the family ruined. If he do not like to work, If i were you, I will not give him a single cent. He will have to find a way to work for money. Just hope that he will not beat you up. Some people are real crazy when they did not got the money from their wife, they beat their wife.

You did the right thing, my friend. Because giving your money to your husband, always. Being the reason you drove him, for more sin he committed. I hate those men, being irresponsible for their wife. It is okay, that even if they don't have but not to the extent to hurt their wife. You need to think more about it, my friend. You emotionally and physically abuse. You need love to make you happy not to have partner, to make punching bag... Hope you can manage everything in your life. Have a great day!

it would be impossible in my cases to happen but in case i am rich then i found it out later. Well i just have to deal with the truth and probably junk him out so for me their is no need anymore to stay or pretend we are alright when in fact their is no love involve at all. To be honest it is the turning point to get a divorce so their is no need to cling and especially if you are the one who have the money you could still find many available. it would going to be his lost not yours..

Not being a married woman myself I think I am not the best person to give you advice, however I don't suffer fools gladly. I am not patient with adults who try to use me. If he doesn't make a contribution I say he doesn't eat. I have no intention minding a grown man and I definitely wouldn't mind his women. I'd kick him out on his derriere then sue him for child support. Get a divorce and go for alimony too. If the laws of your country would permit that is. I am incensed at the very idea of a man trying to take advantage like that. you are not his mother so you dont need to mind him. Send him to sit on the PAVE!!!

I don't think that anyone should marry anyone for money, and I say this because it's a superficial marriage, there is no love, and not only is there no love, everything that you do and talk about is going to circle around money. I think that if you are with someone because you love them, then you have a lot to talk about, and things aren't always about money, two people in love really want to get to know one another.

Why are you living with him, I really don't understand, you are independent and you are taking care of house and your daughter, so why to bear him. Throw him out of the house, get divorce and live peacefully. I know it is not easy, but it is not even impossible. May God help you.

I'm very sorry that happened to you. It's true that there are some really dispictable people out there. If I ever found out my husband married me for money then I would leave him. I plan on supporting my mother and grandparents in the future and I would not have enough money to support a money who only wants to be with me because of money.

My spouse does not have much money. So, it does not apply to me. We married out of love and deep affection. As always, love wears thin with time and problems surface to chip off the ages of love. The romance part may have gone out of most marriages but our marriage endure.

If I were to find out that my spouse only married me for money, i would feel very disappointed. I would nver know if my spouse truly loved me or not. Money would always stand between us and that would discourage me. I don't think a marriage can survive if there isn't love and money isn't love.

This reminds me of the girl of a couple who were good friends of my parents! My mother actually bragged about how wonderful this girl was and how lousy I was. This girl is a gold digger. She left her first husband because he became disabled. Then married wealthy! What a joke. Go with your brain honey! Your heart will follow.

Honestly, I think your husband doesn't love you genuinely. A person who really loves unconditionally will never allow money to ruin his or her marriage. Marriage is a sacred commitment not just with your partner but also with God. I mean, I cannot personally break my marriage in the future easily by having a major conflict with my partner. Your husband doesn't deserve your love for him. Marriage is a lifetime commitment but if I am in your shoes, I will never find true happiness with him if he won't change for the better.

Hello my friend raynejasper Ji, Situation is really a grave one. It was just opposite in my case. it is almost 41 yrs now after our marriage, and I was a teacher befor my marriaghe, after marriage, I was asked to leave my job including my hubby and I remained a house wife throughout my m,ife without a feeling taht I do not have any money to spend. But you have to find proper solution without any breaking in relationship to solve. Take help from His parents and your parents. Take care. May God bless You and have a great time.

married just because money is a forbidden marriage, either by religion or state law. Should not be a marriage based on lust will treasure. Marriage is a sacred institution full of sacred and binding until the end of Life

Hi raynejasper, it has been some time since i saw you complaining about your relationship. I think your husband is not going to change towards the good and is actually becoming worse. The best way is to divorce him and have a life with your daughter. Let him rot and make it non of your business. However, i am really sorry for your encounter. Hopefully you can get over it soon.

I think divorce for her is a great decision but she has to add in the fact that she has been supporting him. In this case she could be required to pay alimony. She needs to slowly cut him off then divorce. This way she wont have to keep supporting him when hes gone. I definately agree that it just needs to be her and her daughter. That guy could be teaching the child so many wrong things about life.

..how I wish I could really do that my friends.. however, divorce in our country is not allowed.. we can only have annulment and it takes much time and money.. I couldn't afford to pay another expense this time.. I'm also broke financially.. anyhow, I'm already getting my husband out of my nerves.. I don't care what he does.. what matters to me is, I'm happy with my daughter.. I just ignore the presence of my husband every time I see him in the house (rarely).. he doesn't really sleep in the house every night.. I stopped buying groceries also.. I just buy what I need.. I couldn't spare any cent for him anymore.. and I'm really starting to hate him!!! thanks guys..

hi raynejasper! i have a friend who was married 2 years ago. my friend(girl) has an existing business when he met this guy and became his husband. my friend was so inlove with this guy, she's the one who paid for their wedding expenses, bought him clothes, lets just say this guy is totally trash when my friend met him. 2 years of their marriage, was not that good, its just a one sided love affair. my friend put up another franchise of her business and her husband was the one who manages it. until last month, where their relationship was on its downfall, the guy took all my friends money amounting to how many hundred thousands and leaving my friend very sorry. i felt pity for my friend. being a friend, we just let her feel that we love her, and we are always there no matter what. :) and God will take care of the rest for her to be renewed again. :)
