The comment was not meant to belittle the kindness I find here on the BB.
I never thought it was Lil. I just want to cheer you up a little. You have been one of my best cyber friends and that is not a slight against anyone else.
If she just had a regular SS income or something, I think he would still be utterly devoted. Well, if she didn't bail him out, didn't have the bar, what would he have. I think he might be living with her in her old house. From what I gather bf might not have a house or electricity.
Money sure takes some of the uncomfortable things in life and puts an end to the worries. Bf might be devoted, but would he be as nice to her and spend as much time with her? I think he would be hard pressed for time just paying for basic needs.
With her paying, he has time to cater to her.
When I was 16 and couldn't get a workers permit (local requirement for most jobs in my neighbor hood except dishwashers and lawn care) I drove around an old lady and her dog. I did yard work and painting for her. I didn't dote on her but was attentive.
It was easy work, didn't pay much, but I did things the way she liked. I had to because my step father just died and she was my best source of income.
Money might not buy love but it can pay for attention and one’s time.
