Her Boyfriend Thinks That Her Family Is Rich But They Aren’t And She’s Not Sure How To Tell Him The Truth
A 22-year-old girl met her 25-year-old boyfriend on a dating app, and they have been together for 2 years now.
As soon as she met her boyfriend, she couldn’t help but really like him, and their relationship progressed pretty quickly.
“We both enjoyed talking to each other all night and day and fell for each other,” she explained. “He admitted he likes the way I think and do stuff and always wanted a girl like me.”
“I was so happy to be something to him and so was he. I didn’t know anything about his financial situation as he was pretty subtle about it.”
When she first started seeing her boyfriend, they both were still in college, so she didn’t pry too much into his life when it came to money and his family background.
While their relationship progressed, it dawned on her that her boyfriend’s family is extremely wealthy.
Her boyfriend then went on to work for his family’s company after graduating college, and he’s doing well for himself.
As she grew to know more about his financial situation, she kept her own a secret from him.
Her boyfriend has never thrown his wealth in her face, and they haven’t extensively talked about money throughout the last 2 years, but now it’s posing a problem.

“He thinks I too belong to the class he belongs to as he assumed by my clothing style and the way I was IDK why he assumed that,” she said.
“In reality, my family or even I do not even make 1/4th of what he spends. I saved some money to visit him for a couple of weeks as he lives on the other side of the country. And I was amazed by his lifestyle.”
“Now I feel so insecure about telling him the truth as I am afraid it might affect our relationship.”
It’s been months since she went to visit her boyfriend, and she has still not disclosed to him that they come from very different families and financial statuses.
She didn’t start liking her boyfriend because he’s rich, and she wasn’t even initially aware that he was well-off.
She’s afraid that if she finally owns up to the secret that she is keeping, her boyfriend will assume she’s a gold digger.
“It would be hard to tell him I purely fell for him and not his status or money,” she continued. “He wants us to move into his new apartment but I feel I shouldn’t because I may have been a liar by now.”
“I really love him and what we have but I am afraid if everything goes downhill.”
How can she tell her boyfriend the truth about her family not coming from money at all?
