Dear Chat Daddy,
I am a 26-year-old woman who is
engaged to a wonderful man. The
problem is that he has been successful
at owning his own investment
consulting firm, but due
to the current economic crisis,
business hasn’t been
great for the past six
months. I am worried
that he won’t be able to
provide for our household
because I am looking
forward to a financially
comfortable future. I want
the finer things in life and living
luxuriously has always been a
dream of mine. Chat Daddy, I don’t
know what to do because I love him
very much and cannot see myself
without him in my life. Please help.
-Want To Live My Life Like It’s
Golden
Dear Want To Live My Life Like
It’s Golden,
Ok, sweetheart. I have just one
question: Are you willing to work in
order to keep and maintain your loving
relationship? What are you willing
to do in order to fulfill the need to
be financially secure? Marriage is
team work, compromise and sacrifice.
Because of the economic dilemma
we are living in, I would suggest
that you really consider taking on a
full-time job in order for the two of
you to both provide for the household. Two incomes are definitely better
than one, and I’m sure your soon-to-be hubby would agree. While it is
great to live luxuriously, hard work
and determination are key components
in order to obtain that goal.
Here's to you and your man finding a
happy medium and living the financially
free life the two of you
deserve. Be encouraged.
Dear Chat Daddy,
I am a 32-year-old man with a successful
professional life. About a
year ago, I met a 36-year-old woman
I thought would be my life partner
and mate. Things were going great,
so I thought, until she suddenly
broke up with me for no
apparent reason at all. Now, every time I run
into her on the social
scene or otherwise, she
is always badmouthing
me to her
friends. I am trying to
ignore this, however, it
is really starting to wear
on me. She constantly goes
around telling people that I was no
good sexually and could never keep a
woman satisfied. Chat Daddy, what
should I do?
-Ready To Slap Her
Dear Ready To Slap Her,
Wow, what a hot mess this is. How
unfortunate that you had to run into
an immature woman. I would suggest
that you count your blessings
and be thankful that she is indeed out
of your life. Try going to different
places and events where she doesn’t
frequent. The old adage of “out of
sight, out of mind” can apply here.
She needs help. Does everything
really boil down to sex? Absolutely
not. Anytime a woman of her age
finds the time to go around badmouthing
an ex, it becomes extremely
obvious that she has no life of her
own. If you are a man of integrity and
good quality, sex is not the end-all-be-all, and the right woman will come
along. Be encouraged.
