Why do people keep talking about her wanting his money??? He was making $60,000 and has FIVE kids!! Just what kind of money do you people think he has to throw around on his girlfriend??? HE HAS FIVE KIDS that he is supporting, plus his bills and debts, whatever. Hello? Call her whatever, but enough of the gold digging comments. That is just freaking laughable.

He is making $9.00 an hour now. His savings in gone because he has been paying his bills and child support. He doesn't get paid for two weeks. The job does not pay enough for him to pay all his bills and I have helped out by giving him $400 over the past 2 months to help with his bills. He is depressed because he is not making enough money and I'm tired of helping him with money. I love him but this is a hard situation. Would you break up over money?
Yes.

[he needs to focus his energy on those who are important to him and honestly love him - don't waste his time]

Would I break up over money? In this situation, without hesitation, YES.

In this situation, it's nothing for you to be ashamed of, or be called a "gold-digger" for (LOL). This guy's situation is what it is. It's not an issue of him being underemployed in this economy. He had 5 kids he's taking care of. IMO, that's a HUGE thing to consider. He could find another 60K job next week, and STILL has to deal with these payments until the kids are 18.

Unless you want the responsibility of being the major breadwinner for the two of you in your relationship, I'd move on right now. There's nothing to be ashamed of at all. It is what it is, and you have the option not to *buy* into it.

This, however, would tip the scales in favor of "run like hell". YMMV.

5 kids, by 4 women ?? Are you making this story up ???

9.00 an hour, how the hell is he affording those kids, paying rent, and putting food in his body ?! He must be living on free iHop ... Additionally, from $60k a year, to less than $20k a year ... I bet he would have been making more on unemployment -

Sad.

I honestly can't get past the 5 kids by 4 women.

So what happens when you end up pregnet with child number six and seven? Even if he still had his old job, that's a lot of kids. I love transcends all boundaries but I just don't know about this one.
