You suck

Casadena

Dear Prudence,

I’m recently engaged to the most honest, thoughtful, and loving man I’ve ever met. He has supported me through many hard times, including losing my job and being assaulted. Here’s the but about him: He makes no money. He has ambitions, and he’s smart, but will likely only bring a middle-class income at best. I have an OK job and I’m self-sufficient. Now here’s the but about me: I’m really, really pretty. My whole life people have told me I could get any man I want, meaning a rich man, and they are now shocked that I’m engaged to my fiancé, nice though he is. I’ve never dated a rich man, but it does make me curious. So part of me thinks I’m squandering my good looks on this poor man, and the other part of me thinks that I’m so shallow that I don’t even deserve him or anyone else. Am I a fool for thinking that a poor man can make me happy, or an idiot for believing a sexist fantasy?

—Sincerely Shallow

Wow. LW you are so incredibly shallow I question your morality and ethics.

She should really improve her personal quality

Get over yourself dude.

Devil's advocate but if LW is that good looking, why hasn't she been with a super rich guy yet?  (Not saying that's absolutely how it works, just going by her logic.)

IDK, if I had to choose between being Melania and marrying someone (supposedly) that loved me and I loved them? I wouldn't choose Melania.

A jerk AND an idiot.

This is my SIL. She found the rich guy. He's an asshole to her, she's been hungry for 5 years, and can't feel comfortable sitting around in sweats with her hair a mess. But she gets to go on a private yacht and tell everyone she's better than they are. At least until the plastic surgeries don't hide her age anymore and he turns her in for a younger model.

Sounds to me like exactly the life LW deserves.

I dunno.  She seems to be an expert at hardly ever being around him, lmao.  And keeping him at arm's length on the rare occasions when she actually has to show up somewhere.  I feel like I've rarely seen a First Lady stay so hidden and not seem to do anything.

But overall, I agree.  Marrying for money comes at a high personal cost.

I have no sympathy at all for Melania.   But that's also because I feel like while the job of 1st lady is ceremonial she's essentially picked up that her H is the pres and she doesn't care and isn't going to do anything that's a cause at all and will make herself scarce at additional taxpayer cost.
