    If you find your truly love, you have to save it no matter how poor you are. No one can easily find this amazing love

    I have lost / given up every asset and saving I've ever had. I am also more joyful on a daily basis than I've been in the last 20 years.

    I lived a pretty materially well-off life as a child. Even now I live comfortably and have the means to make an excellent living. As a kid I never felt loved. It was an awful experience. In my adult life there's never been a more lonely time for me than when I was married and my X was in full-on gimme mode, wanting to buy the most awesome car, television, stereo equipment and so on.



    When I was a young adult I spent time living in Central America in one of the poorest regions there. I lived in a house with a thatched roof. We had running water only on Sunday mornings for 2 hours and the electricity was shut off every night to save the village generator. I had nothing more than 2 suitcases of stuff and a job to do. For the first time in my life I was happy though.



    While at this stage in my life I don't really want to go back to living with two Tarantulas who live in my bedroom as pets, the wild pigs who lived under my stairs and tried to attack my legs as I ran down them every morning, limited running water and sporadic electricity, I know I can if I have to. I also know I will be very happy in doing so.



    When you have nothing you appreciate everything.

      I don't think anyone wants to be in that situation but.... If there was a life altering event then I'd hope I'd have someone stick it out with me as opposed to jumping out my boat . But if I had a drinking or gambling issue then that would be my own fault .

    Hmm.. my husband blames our money problems all the time. We have a house and are making the payments on it, paying the bills, etc... But he is "too stressed" to think about or show affection. lol

      The first hour of each day, I earn enough to pay for the fuel of visiting my GF (also divorced from a SM). I always smile for the whole hour, because it is the most valuable expense I have.

    I guess you saw love and that seems to be a rare sort of thing these days. So many people these days have been conditioned to want instant gratification in our society that they simply aren't patient enough to love. If we truly love someone then we place them in the number one place of importance in our lives, nothing else matters or has that kind of significance. By that definition our refusers do not love us.

    This is a nice story, and I have hear those words said to me till today, of course my family knows nothing as to whats happened between my H and I.

    We never had much, but we had each other, I would have gone to the end of the earth and back for him and vice versa, this is why I keep asking my self what happened to us.
