She Admitted To Targeting Her Fiancé And Only Marrying Him For Money, And Now She Feels Like A Fraud
This woman has been with her fiancé for eight years, and they are finally about to tie the knot.
However, following their five-year anniversary, she told her then-boyfriend the truth about why she even started dating him in the first place. Apparently, she just wanted a better life and knew he could provide that.
“I let him know about five years in the reason we first met and that I targeted him,” she revealed.
“But I made sure he knew I loved him.”
Still, she’s not actually interested in getting married. She only wants to say “I do” in order to get “locked down” with her fiancé.
According to her, she needs to “position herself” in life and realizes that, with her fiancé by her side, she’ll have a much easier time surviving in the tough economy.
She did admit to truly loving her fiancé, and she even wants to have kids with him.
“I just know that this [marriage] wouldn’t be the case if money wasn’t a factor,” she said.
Still, even though she’s been transparent with both herself and her fiancé about her motivations for tying the knot, she still feels like a fraud. Even worse, she feels “gross” that she’s primarily getting married just to feel “locked in.”

Her desire for financial security stems back to her childhood. First, she grew up with nothing and then was homeless during adulthood. This meant that her only asset was her “beauty.”
So, all she ever hoped for was to build a life for herself. And with her fiancé, she has.
“But now that I’m older, I see that scared child I was, and I feel horrible,” she vented.
“I love him more than anything, but I know that I’m trapping him with my intentions while using the fact he wants marriage to obtain that goal.”
Her fiancé has since put her into therapy since he knows that she has been struggling with the idea of them getting married.
She’s also confided in loved ones, who have given her conflicting feedback on her actions.
So now, she’s been left wondering whether getting married for money really does make her a bad person.
How would you feel if, five years into your relationship, your partner admitted that they only sought you out and started dating you for your money? Why do you think she finally told her fiancé the truth after waiting so long? Do you believe getting married is a good idea for this couple?
