This is Mey here on a beautiful Sunday evening blogging about Dating a Homeless Man – Does Money Matter?
The topic is inspired by my roommate, who is dating a homeless man.
Personally, I think she can date whoever she wants, however, since she is sharing our home with our family, it has now become our issue.
You see, he’s homeless and his car recently broke down and now he’s staying at our house almost every night, and he is not welcome in our house.
The reason he is not welcome is because we are at capacity and don’t allow more than one person in the room that we are renting out.
We are actually on a lease, and not allowed to rent that room to more than one person.
This seems to be a pretty big money issue.
Because if he spent money on his own place, he could have her move in with him, or they could find a place together and move out.
So money is definitely an issue in their relationship because it’s affecting where our roommate can live.
We will probably have to give her notice to move out because we have 2 people living in the room instead of 1.
Personally, I think any self respecting man is going to make money so that he can support himself and the ones he loves, and if he’s not doing that, I personally would not date him or associate with him.
What are your thoughts?
Do you think money matters in love?
…how much?
I agree with Sheena. It’s not personal but like you said, you signed an agreement and an extra person can get you, yourself, kicked out of your living area. Be honest with your friend and talk to her sooner rather than later.
We talked to her this morning and he’s supposed to move into his new place today…
i would kick them out. you have your child to think about and you have no clue where this man came from.
Hi Sheena, I agree with you. We security checked our new roommate and trust her good taste, however, we didn’t security check him!
I understand your situtation but it’s hard to say “what I would do in your situation”.
There are thought decisions to make and I think that you will make the right one and when it comes to money and love, I think that…
…money is important in areas where it gives something and completely void in areas where it doesn’t give anything.
But you are right: “self respecting man is going to make money so that he can support himself and the ones he loves”.
Thanks for the comment Michael! I agree with you and your views of money and that a man should make money to take care of himself, and not be homeless.
I wouldn’t let him live there. Don’t know his background at all. If he had a real good story, why he got homeless, I might help ‘m a little if I could but that’s it. But I wouldn’t put my own stuff at risk for him at all.
We aren’t letting him live with us, we just are deciding whether we have to give notice and have our roommate move out…Thanks for your comment Sharon!
