Her Boyfriend Purposely Let Her Think That He Doesn’t Make A Lot Of Money In Order To Test Her
A 24-year-old woman first met her 33-year-old boyfriend in a bar, and that was a bit more than one year ago now.
Back when she did originally meet him, he told her about the kind of job that he had, though she didn’t quite understand what he meant.
She thought that her boyfriend had some kind of a job working in an office, doing something related to sales.
“I knew he made enough money to support himself but figured he made more than I do but not by much,” she explained. “For context, I make around $30k a year.”
Well, apparently she was completely wrong about what her boyfriend does for a living, and although she has spoken to him multiple times throughout their relationship about what she thought he did, he never bothered to set her straight.
In fact, her boyfriend has purposely let her think that he doesn’t make a lot of money in order to “test” her.
Several weeks ago, her boyfriend wanted to know if she would like to come with him on a business trip he had to take, and she was instantly puzzled.
She didn’t think that what he did for a living warranted a trip anywhere, and it was then that she found out the truth about what her boyfriend does.
He finally filled her in on the fact that he’s really important at the company where he does work, and he was aware she had no clue, yet he was perfectly fine letting her believe that.

Her boyfriend then told her that he in fact makes 6 figures annually, so he’s pretty well off. Her boyfriend not exactly telling her about what he does for a living isn’t what she has a problem with; it’s the reason behind why he did not set her straight.
“He said women have been attracted to him for his money and with me being younger and a single mom that doesn’t make a lot, he wanted to make sure that wasn’t the case with me,” she said.
“I was hurt, I’m not that type of person. I’d understand not telling me for the first few months but over a year? I don’t want to break up over this but I do wonder if there are other things I don’t know and if there are more “tests” he wants to do on me.”
She’s wondering how she can get over all of this. Do you think she should focus on getting over everything, or do you think she should focus on finding someone who isn’t going to treat her like this?
