A girl used to live a well maintain life (supported by ex-boyfriend), she got whatever she wanted and never once be without money. For some reason they broke up.
Girl found new boyfriend, but not as wealthy as her ex. Can't support her life, can't always gives her money when she needs it (not for shopping actually).
The girl has to find a job to support herself now but keep thinking about how lucky she was when with the ex boyfriend. It's not that she doesn't love the current boyfriend but in time of hardship and he cannot help, really makes her sad.
What should she do? How can she not think too much about this money thing. Stop thinking that a man should be able to support a girl if he wants to marry and live with her (a man should, shouldn't he?). Stop thinking about not going out to work. How to stop comparing her boyfriend with her ex-boyfriend?
Please advice...

Now a days its hard for a man to be able to support his girlfriend. My boyfriend tries his hardest to help support me but we both need to have a job to survive. It is hard to not think of the wealthy boyfriend but sometimes the emotional support is worth more than the monetary support. I love my boyfriend dearly and understand right now we both need to work.

I think the girl needs to realize that times aren't as they used to be. The world is changing and women are no longer the stay-at home queens they once were. Women can work now, they can give themselves a better life without the need to rely on a man to support them. I understand for a single mother it might be hard but if you have no kids nothing should stop this girl from trying to get a job to make her own money so she doesn't need to rely on a man to care for her.

I think that if she cant appreciate the guy she is with now and is constantly thinking about her ex then she shouldnt be with this new guy. Not every guy is going to be like her ex but she doesnt have to settle if she feels she derserves better. I do tend to talk about my ex a lot but not in a good way. If I compare any of the guys with him since we have split up all those guys have been nicer then him.
