i've said b4.. i got a gf (we both 19) .. whom we started 1 yr plus ago.. den 2 months ago.. we broke up.. due to some misunderstanding.. we seldom quarrel.. tt was the 1st major one
the one month when i was single.. i was in hell.. i know there's guy (27) going after her..he has a car... stable income... ($4000+/month) whereas i kinda poor as i spent alot clubbing, hanging out.. yea. but luckily.. due to my perserverance.. and stuff.. i managed to get her back with me.. she chose me over the $ and cars tt she could be enjoying right now!
i feel so bad as i can only afford to tk cabs or public transport with her... i cant bring her to top restuarants every dates .. but i believe.. i can give her the happiness as well...
SEE, actually not all gers r materialistic..
i agree that when they need money.. when they wan buy stuff... they will sian..( as she couldnt afford) but money is secondary... slowly spend.. slowly save.. it's crucial... wad's most important.. is the commitment.. and passion for each other.. u've been with ur gf for 4 yrs! have u ever been COMPLACENT? like... neglecting her... kp her.. or wad? i used to be liddat.. but now.. i cherish her alot.. after losing her... once...
gd luck bro... even if she's really choosing others for those $ and stuff... u have to move on.. maybe she needs more security u see..
( i oso working hard) , muz get a car in the future!! i promised my gf.. long way to go la..
Not trying to burst your bubble here.
Your girlfriend may have chosen you now because of the wide age gap bewteen the other guy and her. Both of you are still young and at 19 and have yet to experience the harsh realities of life and love yet. You should give her (and yourself) a few more years and see how the relationship progresses. Both your perspectives of life may change when the importance of money becomes more apparent.
Spouses married to each other have been known to split because of money or the lack of it. It is not a clear cut issue of "I love you and you love me" and everything will be fine and dandy.
Don't mean to be pessimistic but life is not a bed of roses.
But I wish everything well for the both of you.
Hope she is the one for you.
