Comments on: Love in the Time of Layoff: Sugar Mama Days http://www.recessionwire.com/2009/07/23/love-in-the-time-of-layoff-sugar-mama-days/ The upside of the downturn Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:42:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 By: Kick Stand Support http://www.recessionwire.com/2009/07/23/love-in-the-time-of-layoff-sugar-mama-days/comment-page-1/#comment-2743 Kick Stand Support Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:42:56 +0000 http://www.recessionwire.com/?p=7798#comment-2743 I was intrigued by your article. I have a similarish situation. I am in love with a worker by day/artist by night and although he has more of a stable job and $$ than a dog walker it is certainly under the level that makes life with him 100% comfortable after I lost my job 4 months ago. (i made more $$$) From what is expressed in this story it sounds like you have an immature and insensitive person on your hands and probably, judging by the date of this article, you have gotten rid of him. There is a difference between someone who does not have money (but might one day!) and someone who is not committed to making life better for you and him. It is hard to be unsure of the financial future but I have spent my life looking for someone who loves me as I am, laughs at the same jokes, and always knows what to say to make me feel better and loved. And if you listen to what all the golden oldies says...that is worth more than anything else.... So maybe I have to wait a bit longer for all the dreams that come with money but i know on the other side we will get to laugh about the times the 2 of us struggled. I feel if the love is there, you will miss it. And if he was just a fun flash in the pan you will move on to better companionship. I was intrigued by your article. I have a similarish situation.

I am in my 50s and going for my master and can barely make it financially. I cannot work due to the intensity of the program that I am in. Would I be considered a loser if I found a nice lady who is helping me with some of my bills while I am going to school? This woman would be treated like a queen.
