    I'm surprised so many people are choosing wealth. That's ridiculous.

    Love. Every time love. Money can't keep you warm at night, nor can it cuddle you when you're feeling sad.

    I make plenty of money, but trust me it doesn't buy happiness.

    I have a faithful true love now - my wife of 35 years. A little wealth would be nice but I am happy where I am at.

    FAITHFUL TRUE LOVE -- especially with the situation I'm in now -- newly single :(

    Question is... Is there such a thing?

    Love. With wealth I'd constantly be questioning whether anyone was with me because of me or my money.

    ^^Bingo!

    I broke up with a very wealthy man to date my now-husband, whose salary was 19,400 a year at the time. So you tell me. :smile:

    This is a serious question, because finances are a major cause of trouble in a couple. You have to be on the same page with regards to financial goals, and lifestyle. And then have the capacity to work at achieving those goals. And be ready to be flexible when life gets in the way of the plans. That is where love and commitment come in---the old "for better or for worse".

    Do we get to pick the love, who is in love with us, I mean? If so, I'll go with love. If not, money!!

    Sure.
    I guess my issue is why is it either/or? Does your partner need to support you? What if you support your partner?

    Depends on how you are defining wealth. I'd take love and a middle class income. But I'd choose wealth over being dirt poor. All the love in the world isn't going to make me happy if I don't have enough money to care for my children or loved ones.

    I was going to say love until I read this. I know "money can't buy happiness," but there are limits to how strong a relationship can be when there are money problems...like it or not, money is a big part of life.

    I've learned even the "good guys" can be swayed. To believe in love ok. To believe in absolute faithfulness..nah. I see all the time where really nice great guys want "strange" too.

    Wealth for me. You can have wealth and love. Why choose love instead of wealth for the ideal of faithfulness sexually.

    Women are unfaithful just as often as men. Just pointing that out.
    I fully expect complete faithfulness in my relationship. We both do. We are both completely loyal and trust each other. That is definitely possible and attainable.
