I don't think that's a reason a relationship would fail. Money should have nothing to do with whether a relationship keeps on truckin' or dies off. Relationships shouldn't have pre-requistes like "You should work just like I do".
> You know, I've been thinking about this. I finally found out why my last relationship collapsed...and that was because I didn't want to be the single bread winner in a family. I didn't want to take on the role of forever being the sole support. I want a partner who is willing and able to work like I do. In 2005, is that asking for too much? If you want to have kids(and put them through college, etc.), a very nice home, a fairly comfortable lifestyle, I think it is only fair both parents work. (And both parents share household duties, etc.) I am not a greedy or money-hungry person, but that was the way I was raised, two working class parents, and we had it very good...never went without. I had an amazing childhood. What do you gals (and guys) think?
