My older brother is about to join GMB

[BornStar]

I texted my older brother (same mother different pops) who lives in NY
to see how he was doing. He immediately said "My wife wants out because I don't have 2 jobs or making 50-60k a year."

My initial text back to him was "Bro it might be best for you to leave the situation since she is basing your relationship off of how much money you are bringing in."

Main reason I said this is because he shouldn't have to play by her rules.

I thought about it after the fact and texted him again "but at the same time it is her prerogative, she has her own rights and needs. It's either you get 2 jobs and meet up to her needs or get a divorce."

They have a little girl together his first kid, first marriage.

Ive meet her before. She has a bougee type of attitude. I highly doubt she was trying to motivate him with those comments. I believe she wants to reap the benefits but again he should be making more money and should be able to find a new job. Especially in NY. 


Should he join GMB or Na?

Get married older brehs.

Women are always looking for the next upgrade, be it financially, sexually or both. So if you’re not progressing in life....

 

[MikelArteta]

He should
If he gets two jobs it will now be your never home to spend time with us

If he gets a 50-60k, job it will be something else

What I realized in life if someone doesn’t want to be with you they will use anything as an excuse. And then when you work on and fix that it will be something else.

Tell him to GMB... tell him it gets 1000% percent better. It will suck ass at first, but once he dust himself off, he'll be so much happier.

GMB doesn't apply here....This is #HOH territory

If you noticed she had a bougie attitude then your brother for sure knew and that should've been his red flag to not marry her knowing where he was on the financial hierarchy.

Facts.
It was more of what she was wearing, how she would talk about clothes/purses and what she was driving
The inside of her mother's Mercedes resembled a small spaceship.
Not only that but my brother would always find himself speaking on him spending money on her and his child.

Why isn't he motivated to make 50k without her needing to push him? He doesn't want to take care of his family maybe he should leave so someone else can fulfill their needs.

Wonder why she married him in the first place? Is he really attractive or something?

 

[Brolic]

How much does his wife make?

 

[Mordith]

This sounds like more of a case of Be Broke Brehs...

 

[Stuntone]

In NY making less that 50K? I good bit more in Louisiana, I couldn't imagine having kids.


As a man, you must be able to provide. PERIOD. That's in the old scriptures. But like dude above said, he fixes that, it'll be something else. Society is teaching women to want it all.

 

[Lord_nikon]

Once IRS takes taxes out $50K - $60K you may be still be in mid - upper $40K

 

[ezrathegreat]

If she said that to his face, the marriage is already over and he's sharing her with someone else.

 

[Brock Landers]

50k in NY isn't gonna cut it but neither will that ultimatum BS You teach her that she will get what she wants with ultimatums...shyts only gonna go downhill from there

Bush the bytch right meow and never look back. #HoH
