RomancingSting: This doesn't answer the question, but I already sacrificed everything for love and passion and walked away with only my clothes, tools and truck, and not only once but twice. I had all the riches and toys and it didn't bring any happiness, all I ever wished for was a love and marriage my parents had, and that I grew up seeing day after day watching them.
Personally if I met a woman who loved me unconditionally, and vice verse, I couldn't care less if she lived in a tool shed, our love would be strong enough to reach shared goals and dreams and have anything we wanted. My parents moved from Portugal to Canada with fifty dollars in my Mom's purse and they paid off their first house in six months. That's what love is, working together, not this is mine and that is yours, but sadly this world including love is all about me and what me needs and wants. At one time it was what WE NEED and what WE WANT, it was a shared commitment to make a life together, but with all the con artists, scammers and what ever else out their and the insatiable greed, finding someone who believes that trustworthiness still exists in some people and it rules their being, is almost impossible. For that very reason I will likely never fulfill my dream of the kind of marriage and love I saw in my parents and although it is so sad for me, I have accepted that this is what things have come to when it comes to finding Love. How I hope that I am wrong, how I hope.

Wow! What a great post and thanks for sharing!! I hope you will find true love again! There are some really good people out there, who aren't all about themselves, so I'm sure you will get your wish some day!

I don't think there is a clear separation in choices between passion or money. If you are a passionate person then you bring that passion to the relationship, and if it suits, well ok then.
I liken it to liking the "bad" boys of my youth or choosing a "good" guy, who is a bit more steady and reliable and cares about the future with you not just the here and now with you.

LadyLori: You are a classy lady....though your marriage ended, you spoke kindly of your ex.
My story almost mirrors yours! My ex & I were high school sweet hears and I also met him at 17, and married at 20. We have 4 wonderful daughters and were married 30 years. Unfortunately, ours ended as well, but I am also hopeful that I, too, will find love again one day. Looks like you & I are strong ladies!
And yes, I do make the most of what I have :)
Wishing you all the best, as you are a very nice person!
ah thankyou lady lori think your the classy one....even tho it was a joint decision by the two of us it still didnt make things any easier and it takes time for things to heal but I've learnt now that it made me grow in myself,but took a few years to get back on my feet emotionally,yes he is the father of my two children and he is the one that left the family home,so I got the dog, two kids and home we joint share but it's mine really only in his name as joint ownership,all is good now and I suppose that's because we respect each other and have both moved on,.you are a lovely lady and yes take a vacation.My story almost mirrors yours!

Don't be silly, women's pockets are big enough to reach that far.
I dunno, it's the talk about passion and prenups in one breath. They sound so incongruent together to me.
I think my perhaps my world is different and I want something different. Maybe I don't understand what people are referring to when they talk of 'passion'. Maybe my passions are different.

Yeah you're right jac, it just doesn't go together. Ones from the heart and the others from the money brain..
Now take ya hand outta ya pocket and wipe ya nose.. That's not a good look for a pretty woman

LadyLori: We've all seen the movies, heard the stories or maybe even know a person or two, who has married someone for their money and/or security.
There is no way I could do that. I am a firm believer in one needs passion/love in their life, and I could never give that up, simply to be "taken care of".
I take pride in earning my way in life, but I am also a very passionate/loving woman, so could never give that up.
Could you? Or have you personally known someone who did?

Ladylorri......I met my ex hubby when I was 17 and married at 21 we didn't have much in the material sense but we had two lovely children and we got through hard times together because we were a team and loved each other,..we were together for 20 years but things happen and we just grew apart,.not Easey at first but both of us got through it he married recently I wish him good,,,never settle for second best even if it means being on ones own at least one has choices.my mam says what you said about making a box look nice.....make the most of what we have...
