| Well, I had some thunkage about this today. That thing about 'I contributed loads, you didnt' strikes me as coming from lack of respect. In healthy love both respect each other, and it is to be expected that each will bring different qualities to the table. Money is by no means the only thing we need.
Money is important, sure, but doesnt the attitude you talk about Syracuse come basically from a lack of respect being there in the first place in such relationships?
In the US it appears - to me a complete outsider at least - that pairing up is a money game before anything else. And I think that is basically a consequence of the way US society is set up. Here in UK money is really not the no1 deal in pairing up - it is for some, but for most its not.
Maybe a more fundamental question is: will there be respect between the people when the lurv has worn off?
