Marriage for Money

[Pam]

Hi girls,

I know a man (early 30's and most unattractive) who is very well off. When he met his wife (gorgeous glamour but poor) after 6 weeks of dating he presented her with a brand new Mercedes Benz. Followed by jewelry, whisked away on a holiday ..by 4 months she was pregnant and they married. Bought a million dollar mansion bla bla bla. 4 years and 2 children later ..she has left, and is now well off LOL!

A brand new convertible BMW is getting around with a stunning looking 20 year old at the wheel. Yup, you guessed it, the new girlfriend.

You'd think he'd learn? So, he's buying himself another bride. I'll keep you updated LOL


How do you view marrying for money? Is loving the person for the money ever right? Or ever last? You have to go to bed with them :eww: for ummm payment lol

I think if you loved the person and they happened to be filthy rich, well ... go for it. Personally I think marriage/relationships are hard to maintain long term if you do love someone let alone if you're just in it for the money. I can't see any relationship build on this lasting very long.

Also, I look at my life now, and think "would a million dollars make me any happier?" Sure I could buy a lot of new stuff but I don't think I'd actually be any happier in myself.

But hey, maybe 'trading in' for younger models is what makes this guy happy, and if he can afford it, good luck to him. I'm just not sure he'd stay weathy for very long if he had a trail of ex-wives and several children he was supporting.

Just my opinon though.

I'd marry for money, but I'd have to actually like the person too. Ie: be able to have a laugh with them, think along similar lines etc. I couldn't do an Anna Nicole Smith & marry an ancient bloke. But...I could marry a rich man in his 50's no problem :)

But money doesn't necessarily equal freedom or happiness. My boss is a lovely man to me, but he's somewhat controlling when it comes to the purse strings & his wife had to beg him for a mobile phone. I couldn't deal with that. I'd hate to have to justify my spending with my partner, no matter how rich (or poor) he was.

I know it does come across as prostitution somewhat, but in all honesty I'd be more likely to marry for money than marry some really good looking but dirt poor guy. I would really hate to have to scrimp over every dollar, especially when you have children.

I can't resist; I am going to "improvise" on a well known quote for this one...


"Money can't buy you happiness, however you sure can accumulate plenty of alimony with it"!!!

[MissieK]

I don't think I could do it. But those who do, I wish them luck.

Well of course he has to be rich! sheesh what else is a man for !

Only kidding ..........kinda reminds me of that tv show "for love or money"...........in all seriousness money does help. Of cousre the love has to be there but honestly i dont want a man who cant support himself, im done with that part of life (supporting them) and would love to find a man who can from time to time take me out etc, but like i sai the love has to be there. i wouldnt knock love back if he was broke and i wouldnt marry a rich guy if theres no love.
But hey if he wants to buy me a car (without putting himself in debt) then who am i to say no.

Now Pam can i have his number?!?!?! LMAO

[shelli]

I couldnt do it. I have been with men who have earned plenty of money, but have let them go, because they are not right for me. I dont have anything to show for those relationships, except memories.

As for marrying an ancient dude, I could just not do it!! No matter how lovely they are!! Although I think that I could genuinely love someone that old, I would not consider being in a relationship with them.

better arich one than a poor one maybe you wouldn't have to wash their dirty sox & undies with plenty of money he could just thow them out. write it in the prenupules.lolololol. :P

[Pam]

LMAO@ Manda & Marilyn

Goss update LOL ..turns out he forged his wife's signature (they are just separated) to buy the convertible BMW for the new girlfriend :O

[Naomi]

Wow, he sounds like an all-round Good Guy - too bad I am married, what a catch he'd make! :roll:

[Manda]

hmmm well girls he may not be that bad after all ..........i mean really think about it........this guy thinks its ok to frge signtures, SOOOOO..................WE could forge HIS and WE could ALL live happily ever after!..................A true fairy tale!

[Pam]

..except he didn't turn into a Prince when kissed :Hehe:

[miss.terious]

guess it woudl help if the love of ur life is rich..ud get stary eyed more often, dreaming of the things ud buy with HIS money!!heee
nah..but i dont think i could really love a guy JUS COZ hes rich... thats quite heartless... but some guys do use it as bait...

[Ness]

Thats funny as, I cant stand the whole money over love thing I cant understand why u would spend so much time with somebody you might not have anything in common with or u might not even like. What just so you can have some designer brand clothes and a nice car bugger that i would rather have nothing and love the person i'm with.

[miss.terious]

so true...

[Pam]

Yup, I'd rather fall in chocolate LOL

[Das]

Has to be for love,even if he has money.LOVE is the key to happiness.I wanna be in love & love the man I sleep next to at night, wake up in the morning next to,to actually make love to -not just give 'em sex because that'll keep the money access.I wanna smile from within my heart to that person,not force a half smile cos have to lol.To spend time with as loving partner's etc. etc.etc -IT HAS TO BE ABOUT LOVE.
Just my opinion.

[miss.terious]

its that way for me as well.. but i can see how many girls have no conscience and would want a guy just for his money...
for us the concept may seem :O but many girls can sleep peacefully next to a guy just for material gains....

[puppet]

I have to say I would in no way knowing would I marry a guy for his money..
I would rather be poor and living on a river bank if I had to, with someone I truley loved..
Maybe I'm old fashion in my ways..

[Colby]

I have to be attracted to a person to go out with them... especially if I had to sleep with them!!! I couldn't go out with someone just for their money and there is NO WAY I would go out with an "oldie who had money".

[Supa]

There is no way I could go with a bloke just coz he had money. Hubby & I have been together almost 15yrs & we have never had big money but we have always had happiness, love & each other. I think that is worth more than all the money on earth
