Does money matter in a relationship?

We know someone that did an experiment on it, of course it matters, but not more than you like the person, he had a feeling that she was with him just cos of the money, he told her he lost it when he gambled, she left straight away, he then phoned her saying he had it all still, she was lost for words, whats your view if it, does it matters more?

Yes it matters in so far as it makes them a more secure person rather than someone who's worried all the time about keeping a roof over their head.

Couldn't the fact that he lost it due to gambling have played a part in her leaving? If he said he'd lost it due to bad investments or some such maybe she'd have been more understanding?

So the Mr has just left a very well paid job to go back to uni full time. Complete life change for us. Having to sell the house as my wage alone doesn't cover the cost. No more weekends away as and when we feel like it etc.

Do I love him less for that? No I don't. His job was extremely stressful and he he was miserable in it.

Money is great. But it doesn't keep you warm at night or tell you how much you mean to it.

I've lived both sides of the coin.

Yes having money made my life easier, didn't have to worry or juggle bills.

But it didn't help my relationship, well it helped him!

Money bought him happiness, not me.

If someone likes me now, then I know it's not for my bank balance.

Money does matter but its not a deal breaker if someone has a gambling habit then its a whole different matter.

I would expect the guy who I end up settling down with, to contribute towards our bills/mortgage/holidays/nights out etc etc, just as much as I would do.

I've had male golddiggers try to take as much as they could from me. Even though I'm a single parent but I do have a career. I'm not a big earner. Not by a long shot.

So it is heartbreaking to find the person who professes to love you, is only with you to take what they can, even though you don't have alot.

Some men and women out there really have no shame.

I like a lady to be passionate in her career rather than drift. I am not about what they earn though.

I earn enough to sustain the lifestyle I like so long as the lady is happy in her job then I’m happy.

I like to travel a lot which is expensive to keep up with if you are a low earner. So some compromises need to be made.

Good idea. Shows what kind of woman she is that she wasn't willing to help him with his gambling addiction. She has a very casual view of for richer, for poorer. I ain't sayin she a gold digger, but she ain't messin with no broke...

Maybe when you're deciding to enter a relationship. But once in one, it's unrealistic not to expect ups and downs. He made the money, he could make it back again.

Having been poor and not so poor we can say that having money makes life easier. It also reduces one source of friction in a relationship. Health and happiness are much more important but having a comfortable amount of money is the cherry on the icing of the cake.

We also know people who have been comfortable and ruined their relationship and family life by chasing more money than they actually need. These are generally high flying guys who are travelling the world and leave lonely but rich wives and kids at home most of the year.

You’re only here once and relationships are more important than material things; once you have all your basic needs satisfied.

Weve both come from nothing to being quite fortunate in life, were both 34 been together since we were 17 both have successful company's and a nice lifestyle. Has money changed us? Yes in the respect weve seen the world and do what we want when we want, i dont know what she earns she doesnt know what i earn. We both do alot of charitable work with homeless ect and stay humble.

We never argued about money yes we worried when in our early/mid 20s i was working 20 hours a day to pay my mortgage and and put food on the table. Ive worked my arse off and have a house with a pool and a bentley (im usually bombing around in a ford pick uo truck)but were the most down to earth people you would meet. we never discuss money and were careful shopping and shop for the best deals even wearing primark jeans right now!

Always stay humble never judge anyone by their wealth, status ect.

I actually think the OPs story is one of those apocryphal just so fables. No one who has married someone for their money would just leave someone on the basis of the statement "I've gambled it all away".

For what it's worth, most marriages for money are probably of the exchange of looks for money variety where both parties are well aware of what they are getting into.

If I were in a relationship with someone that said they'd lost all the money gambling I reckon that'd test my resolve to stay with them too!

That example not withstanding, the promise of financial security didn't and couldn't make up for a lack of spark and a true connection. That just ain't me.

I could tell you a thing or two about being married to a man who gambled. My first husband. His family were millionaires, we were rich, very rich but he lived a champagne Charlie lifestyle, money didn’t make him happy and his gambling, boozing and smoking lifestyle made me miserable. He died young because of his addictions and yet we had everything going for us. I didn't marry him because of money and having so much money in the end made me sad and I think contributed to his early demise!

He wanted to make sure she wasn't after his money. Maybe he's paranoid. Saying he gambled it away would make me reassess the relationship. I wouldn't want to live with someone so reckless with money. The fact he was skint wouldn't be the problem because you can warn more money.

Perhaps it was but why take the risk. Something raised his suspicions in the first place. He'd be pretty pathetic to accept her after that.

Yes, money matters in a relationship it influences it a great deal. We've been through some very tough times financially and that can test even the strongest of couples. Life is a lot easier if you have no money worries.

Does it make a relationship better? I would say no.

If we're talking about people staying with someone just for their money, I can think of worse reasons.

It matters in the sense that you have to have enough to put a roof over your heads and pay the bills etc but it shouldn’t ever be the basis of a relationship. Very rich people always seem quite isolated and lonely to me, surrounded by staff rather than friends. Not my idea of happiness.

I don't think money has a bearing with the right partner, it's pride where money is concerned where problems lie. For example if one earns 10k and the other 100k, what is defined as a happy medium if you want to split bills etc. Is it 50/50 or is it a case of one spends a percentage of their wage and the other does the same.

£1 isn't a lot if you have a thousand of them, but if you've only got 10 it's far more valuable.

He has a lying problem tho. And a twattish problem and a mistrust problem and a paranoia problem and the inability to discuss things as adults and a need to judge his partner and trick her with lies and then make up his own reasons for her reactions.

It makes me feel inferior, and that I can't do for them as they can do for me.

I can't experience holidays with them etc coz I simply can't afford it therefore I feel I'm pulling them down and it's not fair on them.

In regards to this that is a terrible experiment as it introduces so many variables. Gambling affects people both mentally and jeopardises the wealth of the other partner, that is ample reason in itself to leave so,someone. That's before you factor in the fact that if it were a legit problem it has been withheld.

If you're going to do some form of social experiment at least do that bit right. Say your taxes have been filed wrong for years and it's been taken back. Or you could just trust the person and failing that don't hand out money frivolously because you set that benchmark for it to become acceptable which In turn feeds the paranoia more.

The bit you missed out of the story Shag - is that he was a penniless waiter and she a rich business woman.

She took him on for better or worse and split everything with him.

One day when she was out working long hours.......... he told her he'd put the whole fucking shabang on a three legged donkey at Aintree.

He was really syphoning her dosh off into his accounts.

I hate him soooo much.

"We know someone that did an experiment on it, of course it matters, but not more than you like the person, he had a feeling that she was with him just cos of the money, he told her he lost it when he gambled, she left straight away, he then phoned her saying he had it all still, she was lost for words, whats your view if it, does it matters more?

In regards to this that is a terrible experiment as it introduces so many variables. Gambling affects people both mentally and jeopardises the wealth of the other partner, that is ample reason in itself to leave so,someone. That's before you factor in the fact that if it were a legit problem it has been withheld.

If you're going to do some form of social experiment at least do that bit right. Say your taxes have been filed wrong for years and it's been taken back. Or you could just trust the person and failing that don't hand out money frivolously because you set that benchmark for it to become acceptable which In turn feeds the paranoia more.

I said that....... but I spelled it T.W.A.T."

To be fair I did picture it being some American who would have something like 'babys arm' as his license plate. And yes I've seen that before, I cried laughing because he didn't look like he'd seen it himself for a while

She couldn't have been with him for his money unless he kept parting with his money and if he didn't want to keep parting with his money he shouldn't have. He should just have said .... earn your own fucking money.

The 15 years I was with my ex we didn't have a pot to piss in. When we met I was a self employed taxi driver who didn't have a pot to piss in. Didn't make any difference to her. Sure, money helps, but it's not the be all and end all

It makes me feel inferior, and that I can't do for them as they can do for me.

I can't experience holidays with them etc coz I simply can't afford it therefore I feel I'm pulling them down and it's not fair on them.

Fancy a kebab and a weekend in Skegness?

Dustbin scraps and a tent in the garden is about my limit!

Ahh god love yer, I’ll be setting up a just giving page if you carry on. How about fish and chips on Southport prom

How long will it take me to walk there? "

For 32 years my wife and I have struggled financially, we were mortgaged to the hilt, kids and expense of running cars, I’ve had to work away to support my family.

All of stress and strains of life, I got cancer and most of our debt is wiped out due to critical insurance policy we had. It’s funny to think a life threatening disease can help financially.

If they're not taking the piss and freeloading, making no effort whatsoever and just expecting you to foot the tab then maybe...but if they're just down on their luck then I'd argue is it really love if you get funny over money?

"So the Mr has just left a very well paid job to go back to uni full time. Complete life change for us. Having to sell the house as my wage alone doesn't cover the cost. No more weekends away as and when we feel like it etc.

Do I love him less for that? No I don't. His job was extremely stressful and he he was miserable in it.

Money is great. But it doesn't keep you warm at night or tell you how much you mean to it."

He's your husband, richer and poorer etc.

The other half moved into my house. One bedroom is his office, one is storeroom. He has more usable space in my house than I do: he's also a slob! The last year has been a struggle for him, not being able to contribute financially. The mortgage etc I pay. I retired two years ago with the view of selling up and downsizing. I've been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and awaiting a procedure reboot my heart so the move has been put on hold, but the bills still need paying. I've no one to share the financial burden and resentment has set in.

I wish I could say money doesn't matter, but for me being unequally yoked financially matters.

I couldn't care less how much money someone else has. I have never asked a potential partner what job he has, how much he earns, what car he has etc... It is bugger all to do with me... Or how attractive I find them. I find people that are bothered about that stuff are not my kind of people. Even stopped seeing a guy because all he talked about was what he had done with his money and how expensive his possessions were, no thanks!

One of my criteria if I was looking for a new partner is that she must be slim. Do you think I'd be justified in dumping her if she suddenly put on weight because of her own personal decisions?

It doesn't matter if I think you'd be justified or not really.

If once a relationship was established my fictional new partner fell on hard times through no fault of his own I'd stick with him. Having experienced a brief and disastrous marrriage to a gambling addict I would feel perfectly justified in dumping anyone who lost all their money in that or a similar way.

We would like to believe that money doesn't matter. But trust me it really does, while money can't buy you happiness. It will buy lots of peace of mind, it will buy you a lovely looking lady. Most of all it will buy you security.

Gambling addict is quite a loaded term. Gambling can be a viable full time occupation. I used to gamble an amount equal to a third my annual salary each weekend. I didn't stop because i was losing money (I profited overall) but it was like a second job trying to keep up with all the necessary research. I was dating a new girlfriend at that time and a significant part of my profits went on elaborate dates. I'd feel pretty pissed off if she dumped me if those dried up and I had to live off my regular salary.

I can relate to Nice Couple - wanting someone who is financially secure as you enter the relationship. This doesn't mean fortunes won't change and that you'll dump them.

"We would like to believe that money doesn't matter. But trust me it really does, while money can't buy you happiness. It will buy lots of peace of mind, it will buy you a lovely looking lady. Most of all it will buy you security.

We live in our means, what's rich to one person is pauperdom to another but everyone revolves around money. Everyone! "

Yep. I'm a pauper as I'm not on benefits or earn a wage, and yet I'm solvent in the fact I'm mortgage and debt free

I probably wouldn't have listed financial security as a requirement when I was much younger. There were after all years ahead of me for fortunes to change. That's no longer true. The prospect of living romantically on love and fresh air is far less appealing at 60 than it is at 30. Of course I wouldn't dump a guy if he went from millionaire to pauper through no fault of his own, I wouldn't dump a good looking guy who's looks were altered by illness or injury either. However I would protect myself from someone toxic and the fallout of their toxicity.

If we take the story at face value. He was financially secure. She failed to recognise that this act was out of line with the personality traits associated with a responsible guy. She didn't stick around to work out why that was. She got played for a fool.

I knew a guy who had inherited a fairly substantial source of income which allowed him to live in a rather lovely apartment in little venice and to take two degrees and a masters and as many recreational drugs as he wanted and I have never met a lonelier soul in my life. He married what appeared to be a nice Home Counties girl who divorced him after three years and took a substantial part of his wealth. He’s even lonelier now that he doesn’t trust any woman who tries to get to know him especially as he knows it was all his own fault for not listening to his friends (he has no family to speak of) but he was in love with her. I don’t think she was a gold digger as such, I think they were just incompatible over time as he continued his bachelor lifestyle and had no outside influences (work) to encourage change. My point being that money doesn’t make you happy and in certain circumstances it just makes you isolated and lonely. I’ll take a mug of tea and a fish finger sandwich by the sea any day over lunch at the savoy. ( the ivy might swing it for me though!)

Not reading others replies but my first thoughts were, she found out he had a gambling addiction and that's not something one wants to live with. All the deceit that ensues. What else has he been lying about. 2nd she might have to pay the price for everything and what would stop him gambling her money. One may also think that a shock to his system of loosing her may have been what's needed for him to wise up... love can be hard and have difficult responses (her love for him and his best might have outweighed her loss of him). 3rd For him to consider that I'm guessing he just payed for everything and didn't give her the opportunity to show her appreciation of him on dates which can be seen as selfish maybe even a bit egotistical thinking he could buy her love... And she proved him wrong. 4th she may have already been thinking of leaving and that was the last straw. 5th maybe she thought what a dick head, selfish unsatisfied person wasting what he's worked for for so long to try to get more.

Some initial thoughts.

"Money doesn’t buy you happiness but you are a lot unhappier without it "

We live in a society which conditions us to be dependent upon money. Bills, utilities, keeping up with the neighbours, advertisers influencing what we must have, warping the true meaning of need and want. Our society hascreated an economy dependant upon everyone having money to spend the money to get more money to spend more etc etc.

Depends on your definition of poor.

I've traveled allot and worked amongst some of the 'poorest' people you'll ever meet in African and India and I'll say I come away enriched by their generosity love and time they give. It always far outweighs any 'present' I get from anyone.

So to answer the question... money can buy happiness. But maybe we need to ask 'What is happiness?' first. Then again it all depends upon our own past experiences and expectations and external influences which will determine what happiness money can actually buy.

I've not read the other replies so advance apology if I'm just repeating what others have said.

Yes some females do stay with males for financial security, for me that's rather like a business arrangement.

If she loves him all the better but love is not always the important aspect of some relationships.

Some males will flash their cash to get themselves a female or even a trophy wife, this has been around for ages.

Some people believe a female who stays with a male for financial gain is not much better than a pro. I think that's a very negative way of looking at things and it's much more complicated than that.

There are so many different situations you could go on all day really, sex sells and money is very important to many.

Gold diggers are around and will target their prey well. At the end of the day a pussy will always have more value than a cock.

A very crude way of putting things but sometimes it's easier to simplify things, than to overthink them.

Money doesn’t matter to me but to some it matters more than anything. I was in a relationship once where I paid for everything, food, drinks, holidays the lot. Then when I set up my own business, I ploughed everything I had into it, i couldn’t afford the expensive nights out and meals out for a few weeks, she was gone!

She was with me for what she could get and nothing more.

I don't agree. In any society it's a necessary condition of any kind of contentment or happiness that some degree of material desires are satisfied. Hence the means of obtaining those material wants are necessary in all the times and places. You can't concentrate on the finer things in life if you're starving to death.

Note also. I said. "on the whole". There will always be some people who aren't interested in even the most basic material needs like food and shelter. However, it's impossible for most people to be like that, because if they were, all those fine non materialistic people would die.

Well Yes, people can live in an infinite number of ways, but at bottom there is always a desire for a socially approved level of material goods. I am not aware of any society where those in power did not accrue or try to accrue material goods. One can note, for example, that devotees of supposedly ascetic religions don't usually seem to stay ascetic when they are powerful enough to accrue material objects.

Very little has been said about satisfaction. Unfortunately most studies have shown that the more one gets the more dissatisfied one becomes and one keeps looking for more to satisfy (little happiness is displayed). This state of dissatisfaction unfortunately turns on every aspect of that person and effects those they come in touch with. Disatisfaction is one of the key ingredients to the success of the modern western society and life style.

Many studies have revealed that true happiness is a concept lost in the west but when its experienced it's more of a fleeting passing experience like an echo due to the basis in which it is found.

So money does matter then. To you and them. If it didn't you wouldn't mention it and they wouldn't care.

Given the choice of two men equal in every way but wealth I'd choose the wealthier one. If further down the line he lost it I'd deal with it according to circumstances at the time but I wouldn't walk away from an otherwise good relationship due to a change in financial circumstances alone.

We think money and success does attract women. Perhaps it’s a gold digging thing but perhaps more likely it’s to try and find the best provider for their children. We’re reminded of Peter Crouch, the footballer, being ask “What would you be if you weren’t a professional footballer” to which his answer was “A Virgin!”.

The reason women are attracted to rich men is probably that they will be a good provider for any offspring. Once they have a bond with the guy then they are more likely to stick with them even if they loose some of that money.

"Does money matter? I was a single dad to my kids for 6 years, I had nothing for myself really in those years, used dating sites and struggled to get anywhere. Now my kids are grown up I suddenly have money, bought a nice bungalow, leased a brand new car, bought some nice clothes and guess what I've become loads more popular on the dating sites???

So money does matter then. To you and them. If it didn't you wouldn't mention it and they wouldn't care.

Given the choice of two men equal in every way but wealth I'd choose the wealthier one. If further down the line he lost it I'd deal with it according to circumstances at the time but I wouldn't walk away from an otherwise good relationship due to a change in financial circumstances alone. "

We'll yes, when you get to a certain age, you'll be wary of anyone, male or female, who hasn't got their financial shit together...

Yep. I wouldn't want a millionaire necessarily just someone able to stump up his half of the bill in the Age Concern coffee bar. The penniless artist in his garrett scenario has lost its appeal for me.

"Money doesn’t matter to me but to some it matters more than anything. I was in a relationship once where I paid for everything, food, drinks, holidays the lot. Then when I set up my own business, I ploughed everything I had into it, i couldn’t afford the expensive nights out and meals out for a few weeks, she was gone!

She was with me for what she could get and nothing more. "

Be thankful she showed her true colours and set you free.

I've watched those gold digger exposes videos online where guys have approached women and been blown off then they walk off and get into a super car and the woman comes over and wants to date the guy!

Money doesn't matter to me, aesthetics do, a handsome broke guy with a decent penis would be more use to me then a not so attractive rich guy.

If I was ever in that situation and I wasn't attracted to the guy I would politely tell him that I didn't want to date him, if I saw him getting into a Ferrari or Lamborghini I would run after him but explain that I still have no romantic interest in him but love the noise of supercars amd would ask him to rev the engine for me!
