You all remember my sister's issues with her ex.

After that, my mom told me that her theory proves to be right once again. I warn you that my mom's a great person, she simply lacks sensitivity.

Ok: she thinks that the social/material status are the ones decisive for a relationship. She thinks that it's not so much my sister, but her lifestyle that her ex grew very found of. So when the sweet part was over, more than loosing her, he'd loose the nice appartment, good food, great status, etc etc.

Hence her theory: you should better go out with people who are have at least as much money as you do. Because that's the main reason for split ups. If both have a similar financial situation, it's more likely to have a clean break up. Or at least, he should be more well off than the girl (the reverse if you're a boy).

I'm left a bit disgusted by the whole concept of trivialisation of a relationship, yet cannot deny the truth in it... My accepting that makes me even more sick to my stomack.

What do you think?
