He wishes he could live that life and get to experience some of those things, but it’s not really in his budget, and that’s understandable considering the fact that these guys make crazy money.
The fact that Kate and Ash are getting to do these lavish things is starting to impact his own girlfriend and causing fights between them.
“It seems that the stuff I do with her has lost its value,” he explained. “Like the restaurants we used to go out to, well now they aren’t that nice.”
“She called this one Mexican spot we go to as “dressed up Chipotle.” And it picked up more, she tells me that I should stay a bit later at work and try harder.”
His girlfriend also told him he needs to go get an MBA so he can make even more money than he already does.
“And I get self-improvement and I want to make more, but this all seems like she wants me to be like these guys,” he said.
“Where we got into a big fight, was that she wanted me to buy her a Moncler Jacket…and when I said that I can’t do that I would get her like a Patagonia or like an Aritzia jacket.”
“She flipped out saying that Kate’s bf is getting her this and THIS and going on vacation.”
“And this is where I got annoyed and I was like okay, and Kate’s 23 blonde and wears like a size 2. Why don’t you be more like Kate? And maybe I’ll spend more.”
“I know it was a super hurtful thing to say but I was so frustrated by this. Like I don’t ever compare her to other women yet she feels completely fine comparing me to other guys.”
