I think it's rude and selfish on the part of the singer. Love shouldn't be about credit and getting the dream house in the suburbs. Love is about loving the person for who he or she is. Sadly, many people these days are all about the good times, and won't stick by for the bad times. This ad reenforces today's belief that we should all bolt when things get bad. He even says if he knew her credit was bad, he wouldn't love her. Being that I used to work in the credit industry, I get a little angry at those that hate people for having bad credit.
And this ad reminds me of a Carole King song, "Where You Lead." I like that song. I like it very much. It's how I plan to love my future husband, whoever he may be. I don't care if he's rich. I don't care what his credit rating is. I don't if he wants to live in the city or the country. All that matters to me is he loves me for who I am and only wants what best for me. As long as he needs me, I will be there. I will not give up on him.

I thought the ad was pretty weak myself - 1) Obviously he didn't love her if he cares that much about the credit score, etc; & 2) He should've known that prior to the wedding (or at least, how she manages money).
