The last steady girlfriend I had who put me on the MGTOW path over a decade ago literally told me when she broke up with me that she didn't want to be poor. This was during the economic downturn right after 2008 and I was having a bit of trouble and had to take a job delivering pizza. It was like figuratively being stabbed in the heart, but looking back I actually respect her a lot more than most other women I have known because she was being honest.
