  • Waiting For His Financial Stability (5 Things You Need To Understand)…In this dating, love, and relationship advice video, I will explain five things you need to understand while waiting for his financial stability. You can be dating a financially unstable man on first dates, online dating, or somewhere in the dating process. Take heed to this dating advice to know the best ways to handle dating a financially unstable man, and ensure you watch the entire video.
    There's no need to be disappointed with how men think about financial stability in a relationship. I want you to understand men better to know when a man isn't financially stable, it's not a deal breaker, as he can always work on improving his financial status. This video will help enhance your dating experiences by teaching you what to do when dating a financially unstable boyfriend.

    Last month, I offered my partner to help him look for a job but he insisted my support was enough for him. Just 2 days ago, he finally got a job offer and he did it on his own without me needing to help him. He said he doesnt want finances and money to negatively affect us as much as possible. His only request to me was to be patient until he lands a job so we can go to extravegant dates again.
    You are absolutely right women should not intervene on a man's plan on being financially stable. You are there to morally support; Not to build him.

    OMG, I was in this situation. I compromised my standards and dated a financially unstable 61 year old man who seemed to have potential; who lives in a rented room. I stood by his side emotionally, he would take his frustration out on me, we spent most of our private time at my home, I helped pay for dates and travel (as I should have/more than I should have ), etc. He seemed to have had his own prosperous online business, but when I worked from home during COVID, often times I would find him on social media (facebook) throughout most of the day. FOUR years later at age 64 he is in the same situation. I had no choice, but to walk away 7 months ago and it was hurtful for me to do so, because I loved him very much. Four years was long enough. I deserve better.

    I believe a woman should not really wait for the man to have financial stability. In my opinion, it should be something that is achieved together. However, that does not mean he does not have to work and leech off the woman. He needs to have goals and aspirations and actively work towards them.

      At a certain age, 35 to 40 years and older, he should be financially stable or working towards that goal. If you move in and marry a man that is not financially stable/responsible and has no goals/ambition, you as the woman will be paying the bills and carrying this grown boy. What has he been doing all his life?
      If he wants to be the head of the house and to be taken seriously as a man, he needs to be able to provide and protect. Men like those expect women to bring numerous qualities to the table including finances, will ask for submission, then expect to be raised and treated like children.
      Those men probably should not be seriously dating and looking for marriage when they are not ready.

    As always, great topic, awesome advice. I been through couple of those and had to put an end to the relationship after the deadline was reached and he still did not do what is required of him to be a king and lead. And I think you're right. Sometimes they get comfortable when they realized you've been handling things financially, so they probably tell themselves you got this and they can rock back and chill. I took a long hard look at myself, the situation and decided I deserved much better. Walked away, worked on myself, prayed, meditated and I feel good about myself. Although single, I feel comfortable in my own skin knowing God will send me that one who deserves me and I deserves, when the time is right. I love listening to you. Very uplifting.

    If you look at old love, husband and wife would put all funds in one pot. The pot paid for bills and all needs of the family. I still believe that would work today with less divorce and broken homes. That way no1 can say this mines that yours. It's all ours. What if ur other doesn't make as much as u do and u expect them to pay half the bills that means they are left with nothing for the rest of the week while u have extra left over. That's looking out for your other. Ur still living separate so why be married and or together when we can be roommates. I also feel that 50/50 is no such thing some1 is going to be putting in more effort and more money then the next and it is usually the female. She cleans house, takes care of the kids, cleans the laundry, and cooks, while men usually only work.

    So I heard another one of your videos before this where I said exactly what you said: a man will not want to put you through battle while he’s upgrading. He will take advantage (and everything) else if he’s just not into you. And if he does overcome his demise bc of luck or whatever, he may even leave you later on once he is confident bc he didn’t really dig you to begin with. Men are simple; we complicate by benefit of doubt sometimes. Also, we gotta put our guard down when we’re independent warriors. People can need others and still be a bad ass. 💪🏼

    You bring me so much peace. I waited 11years for him to pitch in. And there was always something was waiting for the perfect job, he was doing his best, "taking care of the kids" but disrespecting me in many ways. I was exhausted. He was a great entertainer, music concerts and great movies, I realized that is what he'd do when my kids went to school and I went to work! He wasn't looking for a job, I felt deceived, and confused because we had great times together but my body and my soul had enough. I couldn't take it any longer. I would give myself ultimatums that I extended for months that became years because the "responsibility should have come from him" because we had kids together and it was common sense as a man. And I would cry for his help, pray to God to give him a job he didn't even ask for and couldn't refuse. After years of getting ready emotionally, I ended up leaving him. It was so hard, I was so attached to him in so many ways. I was horrified to think I was breaking my marriage before God. But with these videos I am understanding that God wants something better for me and I was Idealizing my ex I was putting up with things that were beyond faith, and I am at peace with myself. God is healing me little by little. We still talk in a friendly way. I respect him as the father of my children and I'm still learning to detach my guilt from the breakup. But I know it was the best decision for my own sake. I was going insane!

I was his crutch in every way possible especially financially. He often said that he wanted to be financially stable before we moved in together but he had no deadline and I waited for eight years. Eventually I walked away because I got tired of waiting on him for nothing. You’re right he told himself I wasn’t going anywhere. But I did, it was hard but I worked on myself and I’m happy.

I'm praying that our Father will teach you how much He values you so that you'll know your worth and only accept what He gives to you so that you'll be wholly and holy blessed and healthy. Learn your lessons as well and move on with your head held high and your everything in and for God first and yourself second. Then you'll be able to give what you're guided to give, as God leads you to others as well as accept what He is providing for you and not just anything from anybody. I'm a giver too. However, I refuse to form unhealthy attachments to people regardless of who they are or what role they play in my life. And it's thanks and glory to God for the lessons. Stay beautiful and encouraged because I know it's not easy when those negative thoughts start coming through, but pray and focus on God to help you through it because you wonderfully made in His image! See yourself as God sees you, and your mind and way of thinking of yourself will change. Big hugs and kisses from your sister in Christ. Peace and love.

    Thank you Stephan. While I am not currently in the dating realm, this was very much appropriate for my situation with another important man in my life: my father. I have been separated from my father for over 28 years, and had only met him in near weeks after that birthday. After observing what is going on in his life, including but not limited to being brutally beaten and abused by his own wife, I realized this man may not be deserving of me. I too have been abused and exploited by an important woman of my own life: My mother. However unlike my father I had the courage to leave my mom, say that enough is enough, and it long last left this abusive entity making her nothing more than a thing of my past. My father, however, said to me "... I need you to take care of me." It says the man for whom I did not choose as my father, to the most important woman he will ever meet (his one and only child, a daughter) and has barely contributed A little over 2 weeks of time collectively to her life? On top of that this man can't even stand up for himself, and tell his abusive wife to back off and leave his daughter alone (and out of their conflicts). It's one thing to attack your spouse, but you prey upon an innocent child who didn't choose such parents as they have acquired? That is beyond evil.
    Stephan, I will resort to this video as guidelines to enforce standards upon my father if he is to finally gain the balls needed to end the toxic relationship with his wife, and make amends for his child. While I am more than happy to guide him through the minefields of options towards improving his situation, I will only take care of a man who takes care of himself. It is not my job as his child to take care of him, and no parent should have children merely as a means of acquiring a caretaker for their incompetent selves.

    Lots and lots of Filipino men rely on their women so much financially. My father has no work while my mom does all the housework and keeps a job or two. Many of my women friends have partners who are satisfied with meager salary and not thinking of their family's future. I also just ended a relationship with my boyfriend of 9.5 years because of financial instability. It is scary to be single and start from scratch at my age of 32 years.

    On point video❣️🔥🔥🔥Since I have always been selective in who I’m with, yet I can admit along time ago, I’ve made a few mistakes in my judgments that I will end immediately. Because simply put I don’t play that 😆 I haven’t experienced many that you’ve mentioned, but I can overstand that. Because I know that I have to be with a man who Knows himself and have a plan. I will never bring a man around my family to met if we aren’t in a serious relationship. But, my homegirls will know who he was for “safety reasons.” I feel fathers of daughters should educate them at a very young age on what’s real in this world especially, when it comes to men. I think those tools of life will be a great deal of help in saving time, energies, finance and most importantly Self Love 💕

    I let my ex live in my flat and he never paid even 1$ for anything, because he was just a jobless student and immigrant. I supported him in everything and accepted he can't afford for buying gifts, or taking on a date. I even lent him money. Before he got a job, he promised he will live with me and we will share costs of the flat. But when he got job as a programmer, he easily dumped me, saying "he doesn't have time for gf and he wants to be independent. In addition, he said he never wanted to live with me"... He just used me and my "free accomodation", because it was more comfortable than his small room... So even when your guy gets job, it doesn't mean it's gonna be better...

    Every single thing you say in this video is 100% true and women who say otherwise it is because either they have low standards due to not enough self-love, think love = struggle because this is what they saw growing up perhaps or they have not been through this situation. I have been through this situation and at the end of the day, it did not work and resulted in years of wasted time (but lesson learned). And now some other woman is enjoying the fruits of my efforts, tears, and heartbreak in building a man up. Another thing I want to point out when you say that some women will view this as wrong for leaving him when "he's down" after giving him a time frame..... think of it as an alcoholic .... it's better to leave the alcoholic so that if he's TRULY serious about wanting to be with you, he will change and get his addiction under control asap. If you stick by the alcoholic's side, they might never change or take forever in doing so after years of you crying, of him creating dysfunction within the family, and killing that admiration you once had for him which will leave you resentful and not being able to love him the way you once did. Every single thing you say in this video is 100% spot on and women have to stop tolerating boyish behaviors from men as a whole. When DEMAND increases, SUPPLY increases. Let's demand higher, qualified men so that they get it once and for all.... there's a shortage of qualified men. If you wouldn't accept this for your daughter, why would you accept this for yourself?? MUCH LOVE TO ALL WOMEN praying for you to find that husband/father material. THANKS, STEPHAN for speaking up!!!!! MUCH LOVE!

    This is so helpful! I needed to hear all these today! My bf is currently struggling with his financial issues, but then I always choose to stand beside him. I support him all the way, there are times that I'm the one spending for us, I even lend him money so he can settle his bills! I did that again just 3 days ago, however he has this behavior that I really don't like which made me feel disrespected and invalidated. Everytime I speak up and express my emotions and whatever I feel about the concerns that I wanna raise, he always thinks that I am starting an argument! He always run away with these issues and always twist it and put the blame on me. I love him but his behavior is too much. He needs to grow more. Now I'm trying to heal myself and move on. I didn't hear from him for 3 days now. I don't know where we are heading :(

    • @reddz521
      @reddz521 Před rokem +6

      Babes, if you're the only one spending money in the relationship and you just gave him money to settle his bills but he's not doing the same for you when you need it then this relationship is unbalanced and he may not care about you as much as you care about him. Especially since you haven't even talked to him after you gave him the money. You may want to reevaluate this situation with him because your mental health is worth it, not to mention your heart and whole health. Maybe you could try telling him you need help with something and ask him to help you with it. Nothing big just something to see if he will do it and not necessarily because there is an actual need, it wouldn't be good to have the need and find out that he's not willing to be there for you. However, if he helps you, then there may be potential for some balancing with you two, but if not, then you may want to consider pouring that love you have for him into yourself until the Man that God has for you is brought into your life by God. Pray and ask God what you should do, and have the courage to do what He says because He will answer you. Peace, love, and blessings. Your sister in Christ.

However, the way that he responded to me was different and I felt like I was a burden to him. :( he accepted and tried to help me but I felt like he was just forced to do it. It's painful to see his behavior like that, but I love him and it's real. I know there's no such thing as perfect love and relationship. All I want is to see him grow and be a better person, I know that at some point he does love me too. We tried to work things out as well. He tried and he's still trying, I can see that.

Coz I know him, and maybe just maybe he just want to stay silent for a while and gather all his thoughts. He became vulnerable in front of me about what's going on with his own life, all this financial issues that he have atm, he showed me his vulnerable side not just once or twice, coz I know he trust me. I think he still have his baggage from the past that he is still carrying until now that's why he has this kind of behavior. I love him for real, but this is paining me :(

He has a plan and wanta me to wait 2 years Thinks I should be the prize at the end but I feel that he should do it for himself.

    I just broke up with my long distance boyfriend that I have never met of a year & a half. I waited a year & a half for this man to get his life together so we can start a life together & I just couldn’t take it anymore. He was going to borrow money from people to come see me so we could meet but I told him no! That’s not responsible of him. Basically, he spent a year & a half leading me on. And I’m so stupid for holding onto to what was nothing this entire time. I’m no longer “building” my future partner. They must be already built. Ready to start a real relationship. And I’m not doing long distance relationships anymore. It’s exhausting. I’m tired… I’m sad right now & have been crying for the past 2 days but I’ll be ok!

I am 41 and we have 2 beautiful young children and I am struggling BIG time with how could i end this thing (that has been going on years) because it's going to tear my kids world apart and change how they are forever.. It's a huge cross to bare. But our love has severely diminished. And our relationship is completely broken. He thinks i am controlling and i think he is useless and i lack any respect because he NEVER inititates or plans anything to help our family be more financially stable.. (he has a job btw) but we are on a noose financially and have been for yrs and he could earn way more. The deadline thing has created a monster as it adds to his already lack of self esteem and confidence.. i guess i know the true answer deep down and that is I don't mean enough to him to put in the work..

He literally told me out of his mouth in 2 years from now, he wanted to be with another girl, but he says who know if that will ever happen. I have helped him get into school, sent him a job, gave him money for his phone bill, helped him get a car, encouraged him, and bought him groceries.

He has been working his ass off trying to get stable so I can come live with him and he DOES have a defined plan of us being together- but in the present moment- I’m abandoned so to speak because he’s so single-focused on hustling. So in the long term vision I’m a priority- but in the short term day to day he sacrifices me as a focus so he can focus on building his career. And it leaves me very confused as to whether or not I wait for him….

    Currently what I’m going through. I’m 24 and my boyfriend is 23. I don’t expect him to have it all figured out because who our age does? But- he got laid off of work and was informed about it for months, I brought up the idea to him that he should begin looking for jobs before the lay off so he would already have something lined up to which he agreed but never did. He says he wanted to take a small break from work and file for unemployment then look for a job. He stays home now and plays video games, and he’s been laid off for like 2 months. Rn he’s surviving off the unemployment (which is nothing.) and only got a job interview because of his mom. He’s been waiting for a call back for 2 weeks instead of looking for other jobs he can apply to for the meantime. He doesn’t seem serious about his search and it’s a turn off for me being that I grew up in a family where my dad is a hardworking man & provides for the family. It was our one year and he couldn’t even pay for dinner or do anything special for me, if anything I bought him a hoodie because he asked me to buy it :/ and I paid for dinner.
