I'm running into a hell of a time trying to take my finances to the next level and trying to explain it to my lady. Women like the perks of a man having extra money but they don't like a busy man but if we didn't have the extras, she would still complain and act shytty. How do you explain shyt like this without coming off sounding like a pimp selling his hoe a dream?

break down your schedule to her
you have this many hours you have to work, this many hours to prepare for the next day, this many hours for leisure/sleep

i don't think you need much of an explanation when it comes to talking about taking time to make more money for other things. either someone's gonna respect it or they won't. that doesn't change what you need to do...

Women don't think logically that shyt won't work.

For American Woman tell her STFU and earn more

Appreciate the input but as a man, you know it's not that simple. That's a temporary fix and then it's back to bytching but they're happy as hell when telling their friends how hard you work. It's like they love the idea of that story book hard working man but they don't REALLY want that, with women it's all about perception. As a man, that shyt is hurtful knowing you have the right intentions but you're still losing in the end.

Then reiterate yourself
did you try this before or are you just assuming how it's going to go
even with your family members or friends, when you tell them something about how they're affecting you, they don't immediately change their behavior, you have to repeat it several times before they catch themselves on their own

Oh no, I have tried plenty of times... I think I'm about to take the ultimate L, start over, take my monthly L for 17 years, and just stay single for the rest of my days.

"You want the bills paid or you want quality time?"

I work a lot between my 9-5 and side hustles plus I go to the gym regularly. She wants me to cut gym time and I tell her straight up, my health and keeping my self up >>>>>> everything else. You wasn't complaining on when we go on nice dates or when you are rubbing on my chest or abs so don't complain now because this is how it's gonna be

There was never a compromise there when we first started seeing each other and I told her there will never be one, you're either with it or you're not
