there are problems that disappear, when you throw money at them.
there are problems that only disappear after you've thrown that much money at them, that a completely different and new problem arises, so that you can't even feel relieved that the first one's gone.
And then there's problems that truly and absolutely escalate if you throw money at them - like adding fuel to a fire.

I feel like opposite is true nowadays. in the past rich ppl usually have titles and reputations and face mega scrutiny to divorce so they dont... but we live in the post era of 3 Brit royal couples falling apart in 1 year, Diana, Fergie, 1 more princess i forgot. Money is the catalyst to divorce these days and stats show the more lavish your weddings, the higher the chances of divorce. probably a correlation buttttt it might be due to the fact that money makes partners overbearing like in Marilyn Monroes husbands in multiple failed marriages or less likely to put in the work when going gets tough and just throw money in for a quick divorce like Song Jong Ki and Song Hye Ko. Same thing wont happen to ppl with less money that cant afford divorce readily unless there is domestic violence and abuse even then it wont be instant, as sad as it maybe. Nothing wrong with divorce, but just not true that ,apart from survival, money will woosh your problems away. Sometimes it just creates more problems by turning folks into assholes. There was this teen in my tuition center, he hated his sister getting higher marks than him because of the tuition center so he basically made a scandal that the other students are gold diggers that are approaching him and trying to trap him into a relationship and his parents ate that up for some reason and just refused to enroll the sister in the tuition again. Mind you, she jumped from failing to an A in 4 months because of the tuition and everyone was proud of her, especially me because I knew how much pressure and ridicule she got by her family and siblings for being the worst performer in school and her own fucking bro ruined that for her because he was getting less attention for his own academic achievements. sorry, just had to vent cos Im just pissed and the one he slandered as a golddigger was a really good friend of mine that scored higher than him and is an independent and hardworking girl. Sometimes money just makes people too full of themselves that they destroy their own real connections for their own gains.
Mc: “you said u couldn’t give me love. What did you give me then?”
Me: sperm. Problem. Stress.
Srsly. Who cares about his sad past. Doesn’t excuse how shitty he treated the mc.
And for the mc, ghooorll! One “i love you” from the guy is not enough to go running back to him. Gotta make him earn for it
