so do you live off of your boyfriend's income?
well i dont know about others, but my mom and elders taught me since i was itty bitty to provide for yourself and not put out a cup and ask for money. whether it's from your bf or stranger unless it's a loan you have full intention of paying back. and even if he's your husband, things should be 50/50 not wait for him to provide for you. they always say that living off of other is a big deal, it shows that you are incapable as well as it's embarrassing.. no education and no class... but that's just me tho.
No, natty. I'm happily married with five kids. Actually, my husband lived off my income until our second child that he had found a really good job and was able to support our family. Before we were married, we lived together and I supported him financially and emotionally. He was from a broken family. He had a hard life at the time. People called me stupid, crazy, and all kinds of name because of the situation we were in. Did he felt bad about our financial status and had to live off a woman's income?Yes.
Any way, we were able to pull through this hardship in life together for the past 7 years. Now, since he had a good paying job, my husband was able to repay me back every penny which I refused to accept because we are family. But then, he demanded that I not work and just be a housewife and spend times with the children.
natty, i respect your opinion and understand your point of views and in Janie's case she was able to support herself and not live off her boyfriend's income, but I still think she does not deserves to be called a prostitute because of her choice in life or how she lives her life. I guess we are raised differently and see the world differently. In her case, money is everything. In my case, love is everything. I know I sound cheesy but that is just the way I am..lolz.
