Her Boyfriend Finally Came Clean About Being Rich And Lying To Her Face About Struggling Financially Throughout Their Entire Relationship
This woman had been happily dating her boyfriend for one year. He was, as she knew him, a humble financial assistant who worked hard at a small accounting firm.
Her boyfriend often complained about the meager salary he took home, hinting at the idea of going back to school to upgrade his skills to become an accountant.
She admired his determination, especially considering he feared he might not be able to afford further education.
He lived in a decent apartment that her boyfriend claimed was a family favor from his grandparents– who rented it to him for a cheap rate.
Her boyfriend often said that if it wasn’t for this living arrangement, then he wouldn’t be able to afford a roof over his head without a gaggle of roommates.
“He asked to borrow money from me a few times and sometimes asked me to pay for him when we went out, too,” she added.
Still, their relationship was all well and good. But then, their one-year anniversary rolled around, and her boyfriend’s mask fell off.
Instead of a bouquet of flowers or a sentimental gift, what she got was a confession. Turns out, her supposedly struggling boyfriend was actually quite well-off.
Born into a wealthy family, he held a master’s degree and was the financial head honcho at a successful company owned by a family friend.

Over the course of their relationship, she learned her boyfriend had also made up countless lies to conceal his true financial status.
“He went on multiple business trips since we started dating, but he told me he was visiting his parents and friends or was sick each time,” she revealed.
“He went into so much made-up detail about his life, and he even made up fake stories about what had happened at work.”
Yet, when her boyfriend unveiled his deception, he did so with a sense of pride– treating it as some sort of prize that she had won his trust.
According to her, he acted as though he had handed her some sort of winning lottery ticket and genuinely seemed like he expected her to be happy with the news. But she wasn’t elated or even remotely thrilled. Rather, she felt blindsided.
She realizes that the man she had grown to trust and love had been lying to her about almost everything for a year, and she has no idea who he really is.
“He lied to me for a whole year about nearly everything, but he acts like I passed a test and I’m the happy winner of his trust,” she vented.
“Well, he finally trusts me, but I sure as [heck] don’t trust him anymore.”
That’s why she is now nearly certain that their relationship is over. Still, she doesn’t like to make large decisions when she is angry, and she has tried to put herself in her boyfriend’s shoes.
While she realizes that he might have gotten burnt by people with ulterior motives in the past, though, she just cannot understand why her boyfriend would wait an entire year to tell her the truth.
And now, she’s been left wondering whether she has a right to be upset that her boyfriend lied about her wealth or if she really isn’t understanding the situation through his eyes.
Can you understand why her boyfriend might have been hesitant to reveal his wealth? Even so, was it right for him to make up blatant lies throughout their entire relationship? How would you feel after learning the truth?
