"Can you accept your lover hiding his rich?"

If my lover intentionally hides her wealth for whatever reason, whether good or bad, I’d say it would still sting. Beyond the basic rule of honesty in romantic relationships—as in any relationship—trust is an equally important factor. To love is to trust. In most relationships, trust is the only currency, more like a cornerstone that, if toppled, risks the collapse of the entire relationship.
So, if my lover fails or refuses to trust me with her truth, what does that say? It could mean either—or perhaps both—of two things:

1. She is testing me to see if my love depends on how much money she has.
2. She doesn’t trust me at all.

Is the first case any better? I’d say there’s little to no distinction at all. If she is testing me, it still means she doesn’t trust me, it only shows that I don’t have her complete trust. That lack of trust is as painful as having someone who doesn’t trust you at all.

However, I can understand why someone might hide their wealth; it could be that they only mean well and do not really intend to offend. In a world driven by money, a desire to accumulate wealth is understandable, as it has become a means of survival for many of us, if not all. Money has such a grip on us that it can now buy principles and loyalty, blind the wise and taint the hearts of the pure.

And if this is where my lover is coming from, I’d definitely understand. No relationships is perfect because we are not perfect. We all make mistakes – no one is exempt from that. In this case, it won’t hurt to be lenient and a little more understanding.

Some might say this isn’t a big deal, just a harmless white lie, and that the person lied to should be thankful instead. To that, I’d respond by borrowing Benjamin Franklin’s words: “It is hard for an empty sack to stand upright.”
