A 28-year-old woman is in a relationship with her boyfriend, who is the same age as her, and they moved in with one another not that long ago.

When she did move in with her boyfriend, he claimed that she was “the best thing that happened to him” and that before he met her, all he did was lay in bed every single weekend binge-watching TV.

Her boyfriend also insisted that his friends could tell that he was so happy with her and so, everything seemed to be wonderful.

“However, over time I’m starting to get the impression he thinks he’s a lot better than me,” she explained.

“He’s a nice, funny, and kind person in general, and we get on well when he isn’t making these comments.”

“Firstly he makes 4x my salary as a mechanic and brags a lot about money, I’m studying and working p/t.”

“He also comes from a rich family while I come from a poor family. He’s a bit condescending sometimes and always tries to ‘help’ and ‘advise’ me with things and doubts I know stuff.”

For instance, if she’s playing video games, he tries to tell her how to play them even if it’s not her first time doing so.

When she cooks, he makes her use different ingredients than she planned on using.

While those things are annoying, she was willing to drop it and move on, until he made a comment to her yesterday evening that really has her worried about their relationship.

“But last night we were watching something where they were showing off diamond wedding rings,” she said.

“I said I don’t really see the appeal of diamonds. He said without missing a beat “Nah, I’d never waste a diamond on you.” Then paused awkwardly, almost before finishing the word ‘you’ and avoided eye contact.”

She wishes it was all some kind of bad joke, but she’s seriously doubting that. After her boyfriend made that awful remark, she tried to laugh things off and say she has no interest in marrying him, but she really thinks he was serious.

She doesn’t personally put a lot of stock into being married, and she knows her boyfriend doesn’t care a lot about this either, since they both know quite a few married couples that have gone on to divorce.

So it’s not the fact that her boyfriend might have no interest in marrying her that upsets her; it’s the fact that he stated to her she wasn’t even worth a diamond.
