My husband started out with nothing. I married him like that. An through a series of unfortunate events we still have nothing. However I have always said I don't care if we have to live in a cardboard box I will still stay with him. I took my vows seriously. For better or worse, sickness and health, richer or poorer, till death do us part. You don't marry someone because of materialistic things you marry them because of mutual love and respect. Okay I am off my soap box now.
I was 24, and my husband was 30 when we got married. He was my knight in shining armor. I gave him every bit of myself I had to offer. I never disrespected him by even looking at another man. I cooked, cleaned, diy remodeled, etc plus marital duties and above and beyond. Was 100 percent perfect? No, I am a human being. We both got older, caught up in the whole raising our boys and just surviving from week to week routine. We took good care of our children, but not ourselves. We both gained weight, but he denied me any affection, and left me begging him for scraps of his time for me. In '19, I told him we needed a break and I went to my oldest son's and his wife's house. (I'll try to shorten it some from here) we went back together. Promises were made. My promises kept. His broken repeatedly. Just recently again. I am 51, he's 56. He got my best years, so why not give him the rest. I love him wholeheartedly. However, I don't feel it's mutual anymore. He says so, but his actions say otherwise. 26 years of marriage. I take my vows seriously. Moral of the story: Take time out for each other. Cherish each other. Respect each other. Always. Through the good and the bad ❤ I'm still waiting for the good to come back around. But I'm still here. And so is he 🕰🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌙🌚🌛🌜☀️
Preach!! Mine stayed with me after I went back to drinking after my dad died. Got me to straighten my life out for the 3rd time but she never bailed even though she had every excuse to bail. So I'll never bail on her.
And what if she contributed nothing to assist him in getting to where he had created everything they have? What is she owed for being an anchor? And if he decides he's not happy with sub-par, and needs to leave, as she won't change. Should he be punished for the rest if his life having to support her?
I've been with my wife for 20 years. When I first met her we where both broke. We have been working our butts off for the last 20 years and still to this day..........we are broke as sh1t. 😂😂😂. Have 2 kids and a crappy house. But we are happy and that's all that matters.
Absolutely right on it Adam!! I've been with my wife for 20 years. She stuck by my side thru my addictions ( ADDICTIONSSSSSSS!! ) and homelessness ( more than once ). I have been clean for 10 years, now own a trucking company......and owe it ALL to HER!!!
My husband and I have been through the thick of it. A child at 18, homelessness, finding out our son has autism, breast cancer at 28, losing our parents before 40, him having mental break down when he lost his dad and I picked up the slack by going to work in a factory for the first time in 20 years (I was a stay at home mom with side hustles). These bitches don't have a clue what a real relationship should be.
@@inexpertxennial6067 no, she does not think she is better than the other bitches. She is just saying that the woman that ACAL is shaming is a gold digger and autumn is saying that people like that woman do not know what it is really like to live on hard times.
@@inexpertxennial6067 🤣💀 What’s sad is you read her comment and took it to mean she’s *suffering* . Just because they have suffered before doesn’t mean they still are. Her comment tells me that her relationship rocks! Seek help @autumnchristine2155 Girl, you are dead on! They ain’t got a clue!
Don't think we are better but it shows how hard we worked to keep it together. We love each other more now than ever. I know I an depend on him to there no matter what and he knows the same of me. There are not a lot of people out there that actually mean it when the say for better or wore in sickness and in health. Mine did though and we are now flying high with 0 cares, regrets, or suspicion.
Amen!!❤ my husband and me got married and not a pot to piss in and we’re doin so good now. I wouldn’t call us rich but we don’t want for anything❤ been married 11 years
As a young man I had a hard time settling down. I wolfed around because I had women throwing themselves at me. When I did marry I was still self centered and I got my come-uppings when she divorced me. I was a wreck but dusted myself off and met a great woman. We have been together for 24 years and they flew by in a flash. Unlike my first marriage, I have forgotten myself and remember my wife. Not in spineless wimpy way, I support her and give her what she needs to feel whole. She in turn is unlike anyone I have ever met and is always there for me. If you take good care of your wife you are literally taking care of yourself.
@@jenniferbloh-michael8662As a woman in her 40’s re-entering the dating market, I’d rather a man who had enough self-reflection to learn from his first marriage than one who makes the same selfish demands. His first wife deserved better. Hopefully she found it.
Your ex-wife? Is that you? "I got my come-uppings when she divorced me"?? Exactly ZERO men would ever say that, letalone "if you take good care of your wife"? Chick alert.
@@RealSigmaQueen Set the standard of failure, making the same mistake twice and simphood? PS - saying you've been married since before the internet is not an argument for marriage.
I got married at 17 and he was 19. 35 years later and we are 5 kids 12 grandchildren strong. He did 20+ years in the Air Force and retired as a Msgt. We started out dead broke and went through some hard times and it just made us stronger. He call me his best half and still introduce me as his beautiful bride. ❤❤❤
Congratulations. I got married at 20 and my husband was 19 we came to the marriage with nothing. Now we have success careers, awesome marriage and we celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary this year. My husband also still tells me I’m beautiful like yours.
❤ I love these beautiful stories keep them coming ❤I am happily single but I always loved playing matchmaker thru my years. I would cry at a strangers wedding I’m so sappy.
Woman are pursuing men out of there league when they should be with a man and them both knocking it out of the park. Build a man up lady's. Or get used through out your life til nobody wants you any more.
At least you were close in age . You gotta be between 62 and 70 though cuz my mom had me at 21 . She's been marries for 43 years . Got married at 20. Both my parents told me not to get married so young. I'm married too but decided to marry At 36 most people aren't ready for marriage In their teens and 20s. You guys stay 🙌
@phantomvampyressshadowkiss4690 Actually early 50's but I knew what you were getting at. We actually got pregnant when I was 16 and decided since we were going to get married anyway after HS we would just get married after we had my first son.🤗♥️
100% agree, I would love my man even if we were homeless, hell I did love him when we were homeless. Money ain't shit, as long as you have food to eat and can find somewhere to sleep at night.
I was a addict and a total asshole with no money. My wife took care of me and supported me, and now she's a stay at home mom who takes care of our children, and I take care of our family financially! I will never leave her and will destroy my body to provide for her and our family. We made it through the hard times together, and we will enjoy the good times together! You are 100% correct, and these women have outrageous expectations! Thanks for the dose of honesty, brother!
@@jackiepowell7513 thats fine by me, if she would be the last women on earth, i would not even touch her with pliers! Or push her back into the ocean, mistaken her for a whale if she would make a landfall.
100% agree. My wife and I started with very little. Now we have a little more than little and I have brain injuries from a career that I’m not ashamed of. She sticks with me even when I am the biggest jerk and can’t control my emotions. My next plan is to win the lottery and build her a castle.
I'm a 53 year old lady. I do not understand the mentality of today's girls. They can't be called women or ladies as a real woman or even a real lady would know that a real relationship takes working together towards common goals. It doesn't matter how much anyone makes, it's what both put in to the relationship and sticking by each other no matter what having open, honest communication is key.
@dreamylady2362 YES!! I’m 45 & was raised to believe the same thing! Girls these days expect men to financially support them but they refuse to give ANYTHING in the relationship. They want all the good stuff but don’t want to have earn it or put forth any effort! Then they wonder why they’re divorced for the 3rd time & can’t land a “high value man!” It’s ridiculous!!
My husband and I married when we had literally nothing. We built our life together. I worked while he went to school. Now we own a home, have two kids, and I’m going to stop working this year to focus on raising them. Everything we have we built together. I don’t understand why these woman think they’re entitled to a man and his success having contributed nothing.
Theyre programmed with ridiculous rules and expectations by the public school they attended. This is the very top, and only priority they have. They are certainly not there to teach anyone anything they could use to get ahead. So its hours upon hours of gender studies, and transexual pride marches in school. When you send your child to an abuse factory, how can you possibly be surprised?
Not that I'm thinking of leaving my wife, but I needed to hear this. Im 2 yrs sober and have gotten my shit together over the last 2.5. Credit is pushing 700 and i got my welding cert. She stuck with me through it all, since 2005 when we were 16 and 17. She should've left me 100 times over. Shes my ride or die. Not only stuck with me, but gave me our absolutely beautiful 4 yo little girl who is my twin. It took me a min to realize but i truly am a lucky man.
Started dating my wife around 4 months sober, living at my parents and had just got my first decent job. 3 years later and I’m making over 50k and she still acts like we’re poor 😂😂 love her
Golly you are so right. My hubby told me he was going to make a lot of money. I didnt tell him i needed that. But together we were a team and did well. We had 40 yrs of fun. We loved and respected each other. RIP JPA 1.8.2012 ❤
Amen 🙏. Bro . My wife was here when I had nothing. She's stronger than I am . Love a good real woman. And the gold diggers don't matter. We have a house . Bikes and money in the bank. Stay single gold diggers He's out there for ya.😂😂😂😂😂
I like what you said about having nothing tou stay with them when you have everything. And also when you have nothing you still stay with then especially when your married because that shows devotion and that’s true marriage
Yesss! I'm so glad, as a woman, you aren't afraid to say these things ! Keepin' it real & I love it! Others are afraid to get "canceled". Weak, scared generation these days.
I couldn't agree more! My wife stayed with me when I had nothing like you said but she stayed and now we have a nice house and a good vehicle and a beautiful daughter! We aren't rich but we are happy!
I'm Proud To Hear You Have Great Family Brother!! Hold On To Your Family Brother Because It Is So Hard To Find That These Days! I'm Single Now And Looking Like I'm Going To Stay This Way Because EVERY Woman I Run Across Is Like That 🐖🐷 Now, Their Not Fat Like Her But They Have That Same Mentality and They Stayed With Me Until Times Got Tough For Me And Then They SPLIT Leaving Me With Nothing!
@@jasoneastham2546 I'm sorry to hear that, my brother is going through something like that he doesn't want to date either the dating scene is rough either they are a gold digger or they are a slut or just a bitch. I really hope things get better for you!!! Keep ur head up! 😀
@@chadcrowley7627 Hey, I really appreciate that brother! But I'm doing great just by myself lol I'm actually enjoying NOT having those headaches from my previous relationships and dealing with the stress that came with them! Besides I OWN My own Home, Truck and 63 Acre Farm and Horse's! While Most of my Ex's are Still out there running around trying to find their Next Sucker and they Don't Own Jack Shit! I feel kinda sorry for their next boyfriend, But at the same time I'm Happy and Content with what I Have and I have a Wonderful Niece and Nephew whom I Love that Love Me and that's Good Enough and All I Need!
He is so right my woman was their when we had nothing and was homeless she never left or even strayed now we have an amazing life and no chance in Hell will I ever forget her she believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself she is a blessing from God
My woman stuck with me even through my coke addiction years when I went broke and much more. Doing much better now making good ass money. But women like that are the real mvps
I Love my woman!! I'm a 41 year old man who has lived a rough life. I was on drugs,strung out on meth,3 prison terms and BROKE! She saw the good in me and has NEVER given up on me and now I'm a small business owner with 7 years clean and she's in Nursing school getting her LVN! The lord really blessed me with another chance at life....and a chance to be the man I know I can be to this amazing woman and our 4 kids. God is GOOD!
When I met my husband 14 years ago at a AA meeting he had no job, drivers license rode a scooter and was living in a recovery house he managed. He handed me a stack of papers that listed all his criminal charges and said if that was a problem he understood.I was a nurse at a jail owned my own house car and in the process of trying to get out of an abusive marriage hence my AA meetings. We were just friends for a few months but here we are 14 years later. Everyone thought I had completely lost my mind. All I heard was he was using me blah blah blah but 4 years in I got sick and was unable to work anymore. He was our only source of income until 2021 and I found a job working from home. Needless to say I'd do it all over again minus losing my ability to work as a nurse that pays a whole hell of a lot more than what I make now.
Awesome!! I met my wife almost 14 years ago in January. We started out with nothing. We have an absolutely wonderful life that most people envy. Everyone doubted us!! I guess we proved them wrong. We have 5 beautiful daughters. Forever2Thee! Babe I love you.
I actually found my "ONE"! She was my 'day 1' as he says, my ride or die, my Goddess. I was doing extremely well for myself when we first met. Well, I fell hard, rock bottom, and she stood by my side without question. I started getting back up and got stable again. Then her world (which we were living together for a couple years now so it affected me as well) was turned upside down and started falling apart fast. Without question, I stayed by her side and I always let her know I was always there for her and I didnt want to be anywhere else other than by her side. We were together for 7 phenomenal years. We were going to get married this year the first of June and I was finally going to be able to adopt her daughter to officially make her my own as well. I woke up this past Valentine's Day and she was dead in my arms. Life is too short to play the games, bounce around, shallowly searching for fun. I lucked out with a gorgeous woman that had everything I liked, but I also had to get use to and look past the quirks and things that would annoy or set me off. I miss the little things, the tiny trivial things about her most.
Blame social media, public "education, parents who don't teach their kids, coddling people and encouraging bad behavior, not holding others accountable....weak people create hard times
Thank you!! Stay with the lady who loves YOU and not how big your payday is... Why do so many men want gold diggers? Just like fools gold, just because their pretty doesnt mean their worth breaking up a home for!
I met my husband when i was 16 and he was low man at his dad's company. We've been married for 14 yts now and popped out a couple kids and he's at an independent shop learning things that are going to take his career to places he only dreamed of previously. You grow together; you stay together. Its so simple. It truly is.
My husband and I met when we were both homeless and 16years later and 15 years not homeless we brought each other out of the darkness and we are still going strong we both have had our downfalls but the other one always carried the family until they got on their feet again that's love. ❤
I been homeless too and I met my partner and we both had very little but we had a child and we built what we have now. I brought to the table my cleaning cooking and knowing how to educate our daughter. He brought the financial part. I love him not his money. He makes about 3000 amounts. I am happy and so is our daughter.
Adam, on a different note… I was talking to my daughter today about something my 9 year old grandson has been doing at school. What he’s doing is horribly wrong and could piss the wrong person off and get himself killed. I told her how to handle it and she was worried of DSS. Smdh. I told her fuck a DSS if you have to spend a night in jail so the fuck what that’s your son!!! When I got off the phone with her I thought of you! lol and your messages. Keep doing what you do!!!! ✌️💕🙏
@@MrMrsMGTow exactly! if I was honest with her she would report me to RU-vid. Do you like Hammerhand, Undead Chronic? How about any of these? WWBW ru-vid.com/group/PLy-6jMepR3QCenoTMcmdx8SKD3s8qIKn7
As a man who chooses solitude over relationships, I wouldn't trade my true freedom for anything. These men and women looking for a companion but don't know how to act right in a relationship need to reevaluate their lives. The Bahamas is always amazing alone, especially as a man who NEVER feels lonely. 😌😌😌
I agree with this man 100%. I've seen homeless couples together and they have nothing, that's love. When you love someone and you don't know why (not looks or lust) THAT'S LOVE.
The dating scene, the people in it, and the way they treat each other makes me even happier that my wife is also my best friend. It honestly sounds so draining.
Amen! Don't take for granted a woman that has stuck by your side through your struggles. And women don't chase money, if you love and believe in a man, stick by him, regardless of what he has at the time. a man with a good woman by his side, believing in him, is capable of the impossible. ❤
The only reason anyone should be together is mutual respect & love for each other, period. Money has nothing to do with it. Only a selfish sick mind would feel otherwise. As an older woman who has put on the pounds, this immature girl needs a reality check-up & a mirror.
My husband had a drinking problem when we met, he tried to get sober, relapsed about twice, even got arrested. I finally made him go to rehab so that he could get some more help bc obviously I couldn’t keep him from drinking, once he got clean we lost our home due to Covid, I worked my ass off for minimum wage and actually found out a month later that I was pregnant, we moved states to be closer to family, we were both working with a staffing company when my husband got an opportunity to work at caterpillar welding, I had to stop working so that he could keep that job. Now I’m a stay at home mom and we’re doing okay considering everything.
