Loving mummy I totally agree a relationship certainly shouldn’t be down to money and convenience i think we sll ecpect too much from life, however if you are genuinely in love and want to be with eachother for the right reasons then finances as much as I hate them need to balance out…love alone won’t put food on the table and a roof over your head and the fewer stresses that are put on a relationship the longer it is likely to last and that includes financial stresses. It’s a balancing act are you happy to live in a smaller house in a not so nice area with a rubbish car and go without sky tv and a holiday every year in order to be able to be with the person you love? Compromise is key
