Marriage Isn't For Me

I don't want someone else telling me how I "should" spend the money I work hard for.

Dan offers some advice on where she might find it.
You sat across the bar from me. I looked up and we caught each other's eye and both smiled....

Why would that require marriage? I had a broke ass boyfriend telling me what I should do with my money for years.
That's great news

So definitely make sure that anyone you date, who may have some type of expectation, knows unequivocally that you feel that way. Make sure that they know that you realize that you're basically a self-absorbed person who cannot conceive of the concept of actually joining with another person. For the person who posted assuming that the original poster is a male and it's only females who want marriage, research what the word "assumption" means. There are plenty of women who feel exactly the same way. From what I've witnessed over the past few decades , we have reached a level of overwhelming entitlement and self-absorption, and an epidemic of inability to commit or comprehend what it means to genuinely throw in your lot with another human. So for all of you who recognize that you can't share, I wholeheartedly agree that marriage is definitely NOT for you. For the ones who are left, good luck to you. You will need it.
On the flip side

I've never told my husband how he should spend his money, because I earn enough on my own. And now he wants to fork over his paycheques to me so that I can manage the household finances. So that's at least one spouse out there who is happy without his money.
Well,

make sure you never have kids. They will spend every cent of your money.

Not much in marriage for a man. That said sounds tonme like you picked the wrong woman to date let alone get married to.

yeah, its true. I'm married and we both tell one another how to spend our money and we bicker about money A LOT. I like being married tho but its not for everyone. The fun part is when we combine the monies and buy tickets to neat things or trips together but you could do that with someone you are not married to. You could do that with your friends, family or your cat, if your cat is ballin'.

Your comments make no sense. Generalizing and societal false truths.
You are missing out on real love.. It takes work.....but a life without love is not truly living........
