I broke up because I couldn't afford a house.

Now people are more realistic than before. There can be no money in parents' time. Now is the age when rich people get married, and most women are very materialistic. Sometimes feelings are finally defeated by money and material after their own efforts. More emotional involvement. Not as good as the advantages of money and material things in real life, now we can't say that all women are so material. But most. At least sometimes we don't work hard enough. You can lower your standards. Find someone who really cares about himself. Instead of living with yourself and enjoying life. Share weal and woe, that's what you want. A woman who is too materialistic can't go to the end with you. Find a good woman for life.
