Today on #masculinitysaturday I wanna have a difficult conversation.

Men, be careful of success addiction.

Sometimes, we are programmed to think that money is all that we can offer and we get addicted to success, because we connect that to being lovable or worthy of love.
*Side Note this also happens to women.

But, is it concerning at how we live in a society that has pressured us to think the only value a man can offer in a relationship is monetary?

I know money does support a relationship and the type of life you’d like to have with your bae.
It is an important factor to have.

But is commercializing a relationship really benefiting us?

Because not only is it mentally affecting those who feel like they don’t have enough, but it also seeps into those who think that they do, who may commoditize their partnerships.
