Her Fiancé’s Family Has Been All Over Her About Being A Gold Digger, So She Finally Snapped At A Family Dinner And Revealed That Her Fiancé Is Unemployed So She’s Been The One Paying For Everything
A 29-year-old woman is currently engaged to her 33-year-old fiancé Jason, and they could not be from more different worlds.
She grew up working-class, while he grew up pretty wealthy. While she does think that her fiancé’s family is nice, they constantly are all over her about potentially being a gold digger, and they never resist an opportunity to throw digs at her.
“For example, if he buys me something they’ll go “oh Jason bought you that? You know what this looks like, right?” And/or “Wait, Jason paid for this? Only gold diggers make their partners pay for stuff all the time; just sayin’…,” she explained.
“It’s so demeaning, and my fiancé does nothing to stop it. Especially now that he’s in a bad place in life after he lost his job. And since he’s keeping it secret then, I’m the one paying for everything. This has been going on for 4 months.”
A week ago, Jason’s mom and dad asked them to come over for dinner, and they agreed to go. When they were seated at the dinner table eating, Jason’s mom snatched her hand to get a better look at a bracelet she was wearing.
Jason’s mom then asked if Jason bought the bracelet for her, to which she just nodded in response before saying it was a birthday gift from him last year.
Jason’s mom wondered aloud how much the bracelet cost Jason, and then she leaned back in her chair and remarked that her brother used to date a gold digger who got expensive presents for all of her birthdays.
As Jason’s mom said that, she pointed directly at the bracelet she was wearing. She couldn’t believe that Jason’s mom had said that, and she intervened to confront her if she thought that she was a gold digger too.
“She threw her hands up and went, “I mean…if the shoe fits….” while laughing awkwardly,” she said.
“Silence took over. I looked at my fiancé, and he shook his head at me “what?!?!?!” I snapped!! I told her it was bold of her to imply I was a gold digger when I’m literally providing for her unemployed son, have been for 4 months now. They all looked shocked.”
“She glanced at me in shock, and his dad asked if it was true, and my fiancé just froze but looked so angry. An argument ensued, and dinner was cut short, and we had to leave after they started berating him.”
When she and Jason were back in the car headed home, he freaked out on her. He screamed, and he took his anger out on her.
She argued back that she was tired of him not sticking up for her while his mom constantly accused her of being a gold digger. Jason said that she was making it up because his mom never called her that directly.
“He said I still had no right to take advantage of his “unfortunate circumstance” to get back at his mom and expose him to the family,” she continued. “His parents went on about how disappointed they were, and now, as a result, he got disinvited from Thanksgiving. He blew up at me because of it this morning and kept saying I screwed him over so badly when he was just an innocent bystander.”
She’s left wondering if it really was so wrong of her to expose Jason’s employment status after his mom accused her once again of only being with him for money.
Would you have stuck up for yourself the same way if you were in that situation?
