I don’t want a broke-pocket man
So you have been with your partner for some time now and things haven’t been the best, but you have both been able to keep your heads above water — toughing out the dumpling-and-butter days and the so-so water-for-dinner moments.
Then in walks someone who is capable of giving all you want — the clothes, the jewellery, the fancy house and car.
Would you consider leaving your broke partner for someone more financially stable?
Catrell, 27:
As nice as it sounds, I would love to meet a woman who has her own and can do her thing. But at the same time I love my broke girl and nobody knows what the future holds. The well-off woman might go broke while the broke one might win the lottery. I will stick with my girl.
Dwayne, 35:
I wouldn’t leave my girl for anyone else. Going through the hard times makes a relationship stronger and makes you appreciate the person you are with more.
Alania, 23:
If I loved my poor man I would go and be with the man with the money, so both of us could live a little. I wouldn’t get attached to the rich man. My heart wouldn’t be with him for the right reasons, I would only be with him for what he can do for me and my man.
Lynn, 34:
No, my love and loyalty lie with my man. I wouldn’t even consider being with this other man.
Mirlene, 38:
If all my life I have been eating the dumpling with the butter I’d need a change. I’d need some wine to wash it down. It sounds rough, but it’s the truth. If I find a man who wants me and he has money, why should I continue to play the loving woman who eats air pie? Chances are the same poor man would do the same to me and leave me for a rich woman.
