And not for what you have.. If you have people who love you for what you have it's not real love If your dear ones don't love you because you don't have money again they are not your dear ones. Are you blessed with true dear ones?

Hi anna, i have lot many friends but all are settled in different different places, some are in UK, USA, Dubai and in different places of India, but still they are in contact with me over phone or yahoo messenger. We will be meeting on the marriages or some occasions if possible. Only one friend i am missing a lot. Hope she is doing fine. I never see friends or dear ones has a status or money, they are my friends. And hope they treat as the same. My father, my in laws, my sister and my brother is always with me. I love them all, hope they too love me. All the above, i have my husband and my son and my beloved GOD.

hi there! yes i do! i have lots of them! i have my youth ministry who's more or less 50 people, i have my music ministry around 30 people, i have my family which is 25 people, i have my church community of less than 100 people, and i do have other friends which is more or less around 20 people too. i know, and i have a great feeling that they do really love me... as much as i do love them. we've been together for over decades now, even through hardships even though at times i don't have anything to give them they were still there for me, beside me, to support me. i am so blessed because of them and i thank god for giving me this people to love and to stay with me. happy mylotting!

hi vijayanths my husband loved me for the person I am not for what I did or did not have, in fact back many years I passed up a million dollars just to marry the man I loved. My father had become very w ealthy and thought he could buy people to do what he wanted but he failed when he tried to bribe me with money not to marry the man I loved.So my hubby and I did not have a lot of money but we loved each other and our marriage was a great one. I am widowed now but did not regret a day of our marriage. My son loves me for me and so does my best friend Nelda.The few friends I have know I am not well to do and that does not matter to them at all.

Wow, that is a very nice life indeed Hatley. I am happy that you enjoyed the life to the fullest with your dear husband. I must say that quantity does not matter much but the quality is what more important. Those days are still fresh in your memories. I admire you as a kind, intelligent and loving woman.You live as an example to others.

Fortunately I do. My partner is everything to me, even though I spoil him far more than he spoils me, but sometimes I would be even happier to have my parents if they hadn't have abandoned me whilst a baby. I've tried to make very close and meaningful relationships in my life but somehow people just move on and so they forget you or you them. I think it's entirely wrong for anyone to demand or expect money from another person (family or not) because it can send out a very powerful message of where it is their interests lie in that person, especially if it becomes a routine obligation. I've met so many people in the past whose friends and families have demanded money from them simply because they think that they are entitled to it! - I can't understand the logic of these type of people when they have no idea of the damage it creates that they assume the rest of the world owes them a living. These kind of creatures have no morals or values, but usually it always backfires so lessons do get learnt if only the hard way. It's a sad place to be for anyone whose friends and families only want to know them because of what they have even if they don't have it to give in the first place. Just watch the Jeremy Kyle show and they are full of people who treat the ones they care about in appalling ways, I'm amazed that they exist in real life!

Hi shakiraclare you said it so beautifully.You explained clearly about relationship, expectations and so on. I am sure you are an independent woman who does not depend on any one in this world. But that does not restrict a relationship.

my friends dont love me for what i have they love me for what i am and im very happy for it^^ i think life without friends is meaningless and i rather be poor and have a lot of friends than being rich and people just want my money. we must always appreciate good things in life and is true that money is important to have a good life but just money is not enough^^

The people who love and care about me must do so because of who I am because I don’t have anything else to give them! When I met the man who would become my husband we were both in debt and had very little to our names except love for each other. Everything we have today we have built together; it may not be much but it is all our little family needs!

Well, of course, my family takes me and love me for who I am but the most genuine love I get are from my pet dogs. That's true unconditional love I get from them. LOL
