Loaded but lonely.

Maybe it is because I am not in that position, but I can't imagine myself having loads of money and being unhappy or lonely - but I guess it all adds up to what the individual wants from life. There are women out there who appear to have everything - husband, houses, cars, kids, and loads of money to spend - yet complain that hubby is always busy with his job , and is hardly ever around. Some have even divorced because of this. What would be your choice? Would you rather have a husband whose 9 to 5 job barely covers expenses , but he is home every night or one who is rich and always on the go? Same question for men whose wives or partners hold the top position. Would you be lonely with loads of money? I don't think I would.

I know a woman like the ones you describe. She has plenty of money to spend, a beautiful apartment in the center of the city, a house by the sea and she complains because his husband is always busy at work. When he is at home she complains because she is not free do to what she likes. I think that some people only like to complain.

What is the point of having money if the woman I love is never there? So, I'd rather just be scraping by but be together with the woman I love a lot.

Exactly. I do want enough but not too much. As long as I have a reliable partner. I’m cool with a little bit of hardships once in a while. Money can’t buy love.

as long as you have access to the money and you're not forbidden to do your own thing. if you're only given enough and forbidden to go out, or strictly escorted, maybe for security reasons, then it's like being in a golden cage.

Oh yes, if one has little freedom then there is bound to be loneliness - regardless of how rich one might be.

The 2nd one could be the worst thing a person could ever be in. I agree with what you said though, better to be lonely and unhappy with money, because when you have money you can either eat at your favorite restaurant by yourself. You can also watch a movie by yourself. You can also go on a vacation by yourself and enjoying the delicious food that you haven't tried.

@Kandae11 Exactly. I have a cousin who married a wealthy man, they have a nice house and a service but they don't have their own kid, they only adopted her sister's child. At first, they are very happy because they have someone to look forward to every day because of the kid until they lack passion for their relationship because of the kid. They only both cared for the kid.

Well, if he doesn't have to go out and work for the money- he could have inherited and all he has to do is sit back and watch the investments grow. However an ambitious, self made person will always be busy with his or her business.

I agree - but If I have no special someone, or he is hardly around, I can find a lot of things to do with loads of money - I can help the needy, other family members and get involved in community activities.

My hubby is pretty much always working and not a 9-5 either. He is not around much and I hate it. I think a person can be loaded and still be lonely or unhappy if the person has no hubbies or interests and spends most of the time home and home alone. Or if the person doesn't know how to live/enjoy life or what to do with his/her money.

It's not a matter of money but responsibilities. Husbands holding a responsible post cannot give much time at home and wives have to accept it. Where loads of money is concerned, money comes along with responsibility and you have to accept that loneliness.

I agree with your point. If the husband's job requires that he spends time away - then so be it. He is providing for his family. If his rise to power and money came after they were married, then one can say she didn't know when she married him that he would have had so little time for her, but she would have to accept it if she wants to continue with a lifestyle of plenty.
