Her Boyfriend Spent $2,400 On 4 Tennis Lessons And She’s Telling The Internet She’s Not Sure If That’s Really What He’s Doing With The Money
A young woman in her early 30s is dating a man who is also in his early 30s. They have been with one another for a few years now, and he recently proposed to her but doesn’t want to actually get married.
Anyway, they live together and her boyfriend stays at home while she is the one who works. Her boyfriend does every single thing around the house; emptying the trash, cooking their meals, cleaning, buying all of the groceries…you name it, he does it.
She learned not that long ago that her boyfriend has been taking some tennis lessons, and she was completely fine with that.
“I didn’t think they’d be overly expensive,” she explained. “Well I looked at the bank statement and he’s apparently had 4 4 hour sessions that have cost us 2400$ total. Now let me clarify that we are not rich.”
She brought it up to him when she found out how much he had spent on 4 lessons, and he couldn’t quite grasp the reason why she was upset.
He tried to tell her that if he was working and collecting a paycheck she probably would not mind, and she doesn’t deny that, but she maintains that it’s still a ton of money to spend on tennis.
Her boyfriend told her that he really likes tennis, but she can’t believe that he’s paying so much money for it.
“No, I am not 100% sure they’re tennis lessons,” she continued. “But that’s what he said. And I trust him.”
She also added that he was withdrawing cash to make the payments on the tennis lessons.

In the end, she told her boyfriend that he had to stop taking the tennis lesson because she didn’t have the money to pay for them at that kind of rate.
She clarified that she has always let her boyfriend use the money that she earns as if he was the one making it too, and she’s going back on that over the lessons, but she feels she has a good reason.
She’s doubting if it’s wrong of her to have said he could spend money how he likes though and then go back on her word.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“$150 an hour?! Who is giving him tennis lessons, Serena Williams?”
“He doesn’t want to be committed, yet wants to use your money for expensive supposed tennis lessons? Sounds like he is using the money for something else.”
“Please verify these are tennis lessons…call the club, they should tell you, there’s no such thing as “tennis pro/tennis enthusiast confidentiality.” Cuz as a former tennis player NEVER heard of a 4-hour lesson.”
“But I CAN think of a lot of adult businesses that use fake names for credit card billing.”
“Former tennis pro here, no lessons are 150 an hour and if they are, no way they are 4 hours long twice a week. He is doing something illegal 100% and you need to kick him off your bank account.”
“I highly doubt a beginner is taking 4-hour private tennis classes twice a week. But they want to trust this guy, so I’d suggest looking for less expensive private lessons or group lessons.”
“If it’s really about tennis, he shouldn’t mind still getting his lessons and not wasting so much money.”
“I take tennis lessons from a former pro and college coach that runs the local USTA league in a town with an annual USTA tournament that’s had Roddick & Gauf play in it (exhibitions).”
“He charged $40/hour with a partner and $60/hour for solo classes. If he’s truly being coached 4 hours a day…is he preparing for Wimbledon?”
“Except early 30s in pro tennis is pretty much ancient. A clinic is half a day. A four-hour tennis session – idk most coaches would even allow that for a casual player.”
“I’d question his honesty…and don’t let this deadbeat take advantage of your kindness and generosity.”
