[quote=Anonymous]In my 20s, I had several opportunities to marry rich.  I was in the right circles and dated pretty seriously a few men who came from money and worked in high income fields. Most serious was the boyfriend I had for several years before I met the man I eventually married.

That boyfriend was extremely rick (family money - flies private, multiple houses around the country etc) and also had very high earning potential. We also had amazing chemistry.  But honestly, he was just sorta damaged - I never felt truly comfortable or in love. He wanted to marry me, but I couldn’t do it.  I knew I would never truly be happy even if I was super rich.

Then I went on to meet the man I married.  This guy had fairly low earning potential when we met, though he was brilliant. And I fell DEEPLY in love.  Now, almost a decade into our marriage, there is no amount of money you could give me to give this up.  I can’t believe I considered marrying someone for their money even for a moment. If I were in a mediocre marriage with a low/average earner, then yea, I guess I would feel resentment.  But money truly can’t comfort you like love can. It just can’t.

I am sure it doesn’t hurt that I went on to make 7 figures myself so..right…I am not struggling.  But I can’t imagine making such a compromised decision to marry someone who didn’t make me so incredibly happy just bc of money.  [/quote]
