His Ex-Girlfriend Left Him Because He’s Blind, But After She Found Out About His Wealth, She Was Furious He Kept His Finances A Secret
This 28-year-old guy is legally blind with a bit of remaining vision. So, he describes his vision as though he is looking through clouds.
However, he is also quite wealthy– earning six figures from a combination of rental properties, investments, and his disability benefits.
“I also have a connection with a premium airline that allows me to have significant discounts on any flights and accommodations,” he added.
Anyway, he wound up meeting his 26-year-old ex-girlfriend, Jen, through a mutual friend. And from the beginning, he thought that Jen was extremely caring and sweet.
So, they eventually became very close friends before they began dating.
Now, from the start, Jen knew that he was legally blind. So, he made sure to ask if Jen was okay with that since he felt that he might become too reliant on her.
Jen took her time to make that decision, too, but she ultimately said yes, and they became exclusive.
“But due to my past relationships, where I was being taken advantage of, I decided not to disclose my real income and flight benefits,” he revealed.
That’s why he only wound up telling Jen that his income was about $50,000. Plus, he only claimed to own one rental property.

Regardless of that, he detailed how their relationship was great for a while. He made sure that he was not too reliant on Jen, and she still insisted on helping him out. For instance, whenever he struggled to order food or navigate around new places.
And to thank his ex-girlfriend for being such a great partner, he decided to gift her luxury items and take her on trips overseas.
This reportedly made Jen really happy, too, which obviously made him overjoyed. However, just six months into their relationship, everything changed out of nowhere. At that point, Jen claimed to have realized that she wanted a partner who was independent.
“And Jen did not want to be seen as someone who was dating a blind person, so she broke up with me,” he recalled.
So, this obviously broke his heart. But he tried to be understanding, and he worked on getting over the heartbreak.
Then, about four months later, he decided to invite four of his closest friends on a trip to Japan. He thought the vacation would be a great way to move on and also spend some quality time with his friends.
He also paid for all of the flights and accommodations for the vacation, which finally took place just last week. He felt that all of his friends were super accommodating, too, and were very appreciative of his generosity.
However, one of his friends wound up posting a story on Instagram about the trip. So, his ex-girlfriend Jen found out about it and decided to ask his friend about the vacation.
It was at that point that his friend revealed to Jen that he had paid for the entire thing. Additionally, Jen realized he had lied about his income and flight benefits.
This apparently really upset his ex-girlfriend, too, because she actually wound up calling him to confront him about the lie. And while on the phone, Jen even claimed that if he had been honest about his finances, then she would have stayed with him!
Still, he tried to explain how past partners had already taken advantage of him. So, he claimed that his reason for lying was that he just didn’t want to be treated like that again.
Jen just did not understand his perspective, though, and argued that she wasn’t the kind of person to take advantage of him. Plus, she even had the nerve to say that he would never find another partner before hanging up on the phone with him!
Now, he did forgive the friend who told Jen about the trip– because apparently, his friend thought Jen knew about his finances already.
And after he told his friends what happened with his ex-girlfriend on the phone, they all claimed that Jen was clearly a gold digger. Nonetheless, he has started to have second thoughts about his lies.
“I question myself whether or not keeping my high income and flight benefits secret was the right thing to do,” he vented.
So now, he’s been left wondering whether he should just be honest about his finances the next time he enters a future relationship.
Can you understand why he wanted to conceal his wealth, given what happened with his past partners? Why do you think his ex-girlfriend felt the need to call him up after finding out about the Japan trip? Didn’t she basically admit to being a gold digger by saying she would’ve stayed with him if she knew about his finances? Did he do the right thing by keeping it a secret?
