[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less is fine.  I make more than DH, and have for as long as we've known each other.  But if he doesn't make enough to be self-supporting, that is not workable.  If you think he cannot afford any kind of date other than free, this is not a reasonable long-term prospect  he.

It's more likely that you are being dramatic to make yourself feel important, though.[/quote]

He supports himself, just in a very modest way. He has some beliefs that I think have made it hard for him to earn more. He is very drawn to helping the downtrodden and outsiders, which is great but there are ways to do that that do not result in you yourself becoming one of them.[/quote]

Is this last comment from the OP?

You fault him for caring for others. I suspect that means he has some form of service job. He has my gratitude and my respect. Apparently he doesn’t have yours.

This thread paints him as a saint. You didn’t paint yourself very well.

There are many of us who think that contributing to the greater good is more honorable and more respectful than hoarding money and fancy experiences. You mentioned upthread that he drove to the Midwest instead of flying. Did you think for a second that there is joy in a road trip? Perhaps one would benefit you.

Please cut him loose. There are many people looking for a great guy and he deserves someone who will appreciate him more than material things. [/quote]

Excuse me? I don’t fault him in fact I said it was great. I support and admire his service to others (he is a very committed SJW), I just observed that there are many way and professions in which to help the economically disadvantaged (including in his chosen field) [b]that don’t result in you becoming one of them.[/b] It seems like something held him back.[/quote]
