Where is love without trust? Some people have difficulty with trusting another person. That usually can be decided over time. Seeing how they act in different situations. Wealth can be a big problem. The fear of losing it or having it stolen. Being cheated or tricked somehow into believing in the integrity of another person. Someone can put up a really good show but who all the while is making plans to steal the wealth.

It's not a new thing. It happens all the time. A very effective way to bamboozle someone and take their wealth is pretend to love them. Hanging onto their every word as if they were God. Everything they do is wonderful. Walk in step with them, look directly into their eyes and smile.

So it is understandable that someone with wealth might want it not to be known. They may keep it hidden from everyone to avoid a barrage of requests for donations for good causes. Or "friends" who somehow have found themselves needing a little financial help to get them past some difficulty.

But if a relationship is going to actually grow and pass the test of time there should be no secrets. I've heard it expressed this way... a loving relationship is not 50/50. It is 100/100. But that is for serious long term lifetime companionship.

If it is an affair. A fling. Fun and games dating. Hiding the extent of the wealth if it is significant might be a really good idea.

What it comes down to is: "what is meant by love"?

Here is a scenario where I think is it acceptable to hide wealth from a love interest:

Peter and Neha met at college. Neha's family is middle class. Her father is a supervisor at the steel mill.
She has no idea that Peter's family in Singapore is rich and that Peter will inherit over one hundred million dollars in US currency. For now as a student he is given a very generous allowance. Peter has not told her in any great detail about the wealth only that his family is financially stable and he doesn't have to worry about money. They help him if he needs it.

Neha is fine with that. They have become very close over the three years they have been associating together and see marriage as a possibility. Peter may choose to wait until marriage is agreed upon to go into more detail about his finances. He will have to at some point if the relationship becomes fixed in marriage. Otherwise what is the need to tell Neha how rich he is? Who cares? It would only confuse things. Money can be a big problem... too much of it... or... too little.
