“I married for love — my husband came from a poor family and didn’t have a high-paying job. After we got married, I realized he had hid a lot of debt from me: credit card, student loans, and the wedding, which I was told was taken care of...'
MARRIED FOR MONEY:"I met my now-wife seven years ago. I made a decision to continue dating someone I wasn't in love with that was a 'safe' bet to not get hurt and to 'marry up' economically, because she was well educated, modest, reserved, classically nerdy, showed massive potential with her super high-paying career — my mistake was assuming she was innocent and monogamous.
"After we got out and finished our educations, I guess you could say our marriage was for the money. She became an accountant, and I 'went on the job' as a firefighter. By the end of our careers, I was making 50% more a week than our monthly income was back then. Wifey was making double, weekly, than what we made back then. Our combined monthly income was well over what we made in a year when we first were married. We married for love, and the money came later.
"My mom is miserable, but she's also extremely ill and is now both financially trapped and trapped by her illness with him."MARRIED FOR LOVE:"I didn't marry for money — but my first husband, who grew up very poor, fell into a great job. By the time I asked for a divorce, he was making $175K a year base salary, not even including bonuses. However, since I stayed home and gave up my career to raise our daughter with some special needs, he decided what money was spent on.
"Don't get me wrong, I love the guy — a lot — but lasting marriages need more than love. And I know a couple that is NOT aligned about money; she has tons of debt and an exorbitant lifestyle, and he is frugal, and it creates rifts and tension and ill-aligned expectations in so many facets of their lives. It's not just money; It's food, travel, hobbies, pets, kids, friends, and education, and money touches all these things.
