What are some of the things you look for in a partner? Is it looks, money, religion, or all of the above? Growing up I knew that women looked to have someone who could provide for them and take care of them.
Most but not all women need and look for this is in a man. As I got a little older I realized that they were very mistaken in falling for a guy who could only provide for them financially.
There are many more things in life than just having money. There is looks, wit, wisdom, kindness, love, patience, humbleness, and happiness. If you don’t have those things your relationship will slowly start to fall apart regardless of how much money is trying to hold it together.
The story below tells a tragic tale of a poor boy who was rejected from a rich man’s daughter. His heartbreak gave him the fuel to push through life and the tables turned on her. Read it below:
Overcome with his love for the girl, the boy proposed to her.
However, the rich girl derisively rejected him and said, “Your monthly salary is equivalent to my daily expenses.
How do you expect me to marry someone like you? I can never love you so forget about me. Go find and marry someone else of your level.”
She immediately recognized the man and said, “Hey, how are you? I’m now married to a very smart man, and his salary is $15,700 per month! Can you beat that?”
The man, hearing those painful words from the woman he used to care for, held back his tears and said nothing.
Not a few moments passed when the woman’s husband came back to her side. But before the lady could say a word, her husband immediately recognized the man she was talking to and said, “Sir? G-good afternoon! I see you’ve met my wife!”
“Good afternoon too, Mr…?”, said the man.
“Mr. Carter, Sir!”
The husband then turned to his wife and said, “Dear, I’d like you to meet my boss. He owns the $100 million project I’ve been working on!”
The woman, left flabbergasted by the turn of events, was not able to say anything back.
The man just smiled and said, “Well, Mr. Carter. I’ve got to get going. I have important things to attend to. It was splendid seeing you today. Have a great day!”
For a minute, the couple just stared at the man as he walked away.
Having been over her initial shock, the woman asked her husband in disbelief, “That was your boss?”
“Yes, dear. He’s a very humble person but his life is quite a sad story. They said he once loved a lady but she dumped him because he was just a poor boy back then.
Because of that, he worked really hard. And because he’s smart, he became successful. Now he’s a multimillionaire who earns millions of dollars a month.
Unfortunately though, he couldn’t move on from that heartbreak and remains unmarried still.”
The husband went on and said, “How lucky would that lady have been if she had married that man?”
The lady looked in total shock and couldn’t utter a word.
