I love him so much. But is lack of money our real problem in this LDR? Or are there other things to consider?

A female Canada age 30-35, *nWeGo writes:

First off I will say that my friend of 8 years has told me he loves me for all of the things we have in common, values, beliefs, understanding and acceptance of each others past and present we were raised similar, everything . I love him to bits, always have and it made me so happy when he told me I was smiling from the inside out.

We never told each other before because we've always been with other people who had hardly anything in common with us we were just lonely at the time which is an unhealthy relationship.

Back to the point we moved 3000 miles (accross the country) back to our home towns about a year and a half ago for me he moved back home after he was released from jail after doing over a year behind bars. He's been out for almost 6 months and we went back to talking daily via phone, Facebook, and video chat rather than in person like we used to.

We'd spend over 12 hours a day talking since he returned just like we did before him going to jail.

After we professed our love to one another we agreed to be in an LDR until we can come up with enough money for the two of us to get our own place. We also agreed to marry so we're engaged it's nice really

The reason why I come to ask for advice is we're both poor and I know it sounds silly but I work hard and so does he but we continue to come up short on everything. The plane ticket isn't much but the money to hold us down until we have a place to rent and both have steady jobs.

We really want to be with each other badly being poor sucks and I don't know how to move or travel for that matter I've never traveled without money.

But I know of many friends who've traveled accross country with no money whatsoever.

Should we just dive into this or wait forever and a day to be completely financially secure it should we dive into this for we don't know what the past holds? I also want to add our friendship has always been awesome I can't say it enough.

I will admit though one of his exs got jealous of mine and his friendship for some reason even though it was not like that.

Thank you for reading and I'm looking forward to some great advice thanks Aunties and uncles!!!

I know money has nothing to do with love I was saying it's hard and seeing if diving into this would be a good idea or if waiting on it would be better. Thanks.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI'm unawares of any real connection between money and REAL love.... IF you and he ARE in love - and are "meant" to be together - then there is no reason to even MENTION "money."

Good luck.... You two sound like a young couple who is catching on to adult life and are interested in making a better life for yourselves..... I hope you succeed....
