He Broke Up With His Girlfriend After She Flipped Out On Him For Wanting To Buy Golf Clubs, Because She Thought That Would Impact Them Being Able To Get Married And Buy A Home, Even Though He Has $145,000 Saved
For more than two years, this man has been in a relationship with his girlfriend.
Throughout their time together, they’ve had quite a few arguments, but recently, they had a huge and pretty ridiculous fight.
Over the last six months, he and his girlfriend have been discussing the idea of marriage and purchasing a home. To get prepared for that, they have both been saving up as much money as possible.
“Currently, I have about $145,000 saved, not including retirement or investments, and she has about $23,000 saved. My plan was to use (from my money) $90,000 for all the housing costs (down payment, closing, moving, furniture), $30,000 for the wedding, and $25,000 for an emergency fund. I never really discussed with her how we’d allocate her money,” he said.
For a little more than a month, he has been debating on purchasing new golf clubs. Right now, he has a set of beginner golf clubs from three years ago that he bought for about $400.
“The plan was to get 2022/2023 model clubs this winter since they’ll be a bit cheaper with the new 2024 models coming out. I budgeted about $2,600 for a new set, plus about $200 for a fitting,” he explained.
When he discussed this plan with his girlfriend, she was incredibly angry, and since he mentioned it, she constantly complained about it and made it evident that she didn’t approve.
Several times, she’s demanded that he show her his savings account so that he can prove to her that he’s still making deposits into it. Whenever he’s looking at a golf-themed website, his girlfriend scolds him for it, saying that since he’s not going to buy new golf clubs, he doesn’t need to be on that website in the first place.
Plus, she took a photo of the set of golf clubs that he currently has so that she can make sure he doesn’t buy new golf clubs behind her back whenever he leaves the house to play golf.

Despite the fact that he has six times the amount of money he’d be spending on new golf clubs in his savings account right now, his girlfriend is convinced that if he buys new golf clubs, they’ll have to push their wedding date back, as well as hold off on purchasing a house.
Several days ago, the situation came to a head when his girlfriend wanted to go to Target so that she could buy autumn-themed decor for the condo they’re renting together. While she shopped, he went two stores over to Golf Galaxy.
“I wanted to demo a few clubs I was looking at and talk to them about the turnaround time from the club fitting to receiving the clubs,” he shared.
Then, 45 minutes later, his girlfriend texted him to let him know that she was done shopping, and she asked where he was.
He responded, saying that he was nearly done at the golf store, suggesting that she come over to the store to wait for him since he’d be walking out of the store in just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, his girlfriend lost it once more, asking to look at his bank accounts as well as his credit card accounts.
She said that she didn’t believe their relationship or their future marriage truly mattered to him. Plus, she called him “selfish” and claimed that he wasn’t taking her perspective into consideration.
Back at their condo, he reached his limit and broke up with his girlfriend. He said to her that he would pay for the rest of the lease, and he asked her to move out. He also offered up the option of subletting their condo.
After that, he packed enough clothes to get by for a week, as well as all his golf gear, so that his girlfriend didn’t damage any of it.
Since the fight, he has been living with his parents while he waits for his now ex-girlfriend to let him know what she wants to do about their condo.
Once he moved out, his ex-girlfriend’s friends have been messaging him and calling him a jerk, “selfish,” and saying that he “never cared about her.”
He hasn’t texted back to any of them. He hasn’t spoken to his ex other than telling her that he wants to know as soon as possible what her thoughts are about the condo.
Do you think he was wrong to break up with his girlfriend over golf clubs?
