His Girlfriend Has Always Been Extremely Involved In Advancing His Career, So He Finally Asked If It’s Because She’s A Gold Digger Who Wants To Marry A Rich Man
This guy first met his girlfriend when they were in college, and from the beginning, he realized that his girlfriend was always too involved with his education and studies.
She was constantly encouraging him to review course material and forcing him to go to career fairs. Plus, she took the liberty of researching career paths for him, networking for him, and even talking him into different internships.
“At the time, I just thought this was a way for her to show her love and care for me,” he recalled.
Not long afterward, both he and his girlfriend started working full-time, so she stopped getting so involved in his studies. And he thought it wouldn’t happen again.
But more recently, his girlfriend started to do the same thing out of nowhere after he received a raise at work that was smaller than they expected.
Since then, his girlfriend has begun looking at salary expectations and guidelines in his field. She’s also started to forward him a ton of different job opportunities for middle management and team management positions.
“And she even brought up the idea of me learning an extra foreign language so we could move to a richer country where I could make more money,” he revealed.
He honestly found all of this a bit strange, but he didn’t read too much into it.
Still, he decided to mention his girlfriend’s meddling to his friends, and they wound up joking around– claiming that she was a “DIY gold digger” who wanted to turn him into a wealthy man before getting married.

It was obvious that all of his friends were just kidding around. However, the comments actually started to make him rethink everything his girlfriend had done throughout their relationship.
That’s why, just yesterday, he finally asked his girlfriend why she was going through so much trouble. All she had to say, though, was that she just wanted to help him improve his career.
He kept pushing, asking his girlfriend why, and she didn’t really have an answer to his question.
So, he ended up asking her straight-up if it was just because she wanted to marry a rich guy, and his girlfriend got super defensive.
She was furious at him, accusing him of calling her a gold digger. She also claimed that he was ungrateful and even slept at her friend’s house that night.
Since then, his girlfriend has refused to answer his calls or reply to his text messages, too.
“And I’m wondering if I messed up or if she is just overreacting,” he vented.
Does his girlfriend seem like a gold digger, or might she just be trying to help him achieve his full potential? Was it rude of him to ask or not? What would you have done in his shoes?
