Her Fiancé Flaunted His Wealth In Front Of Their Friends And Claimed She Wouldn’t Have Nice Things Without Him, So She Said She Didn’t Need Him Or His Money
This woman and her fiancé have been in a relationship for eight years. Her fiancé’s father started his own company 18 years ago.
Sadly, his father passed away two years ago, and her fiancé inherited the company. Since then, he’s become incredibly rich.
However, when she and her fiancé first started dating, he was financially unstable, unemployed, suffering from depression, and lived in his sister’s basement.
On the other hand, she had a full-time job and purchased a two-bedroom house four years ago but didn’t care whether her fiancé was rich. She has never been concerned with money, but her fiancé always has been.
She doesn’t usually purchase anything for herself while out shopping, but she purchases gifts for her fiancé.
Expensive, luxury items have never been interesting to her. For example, the car she drives is a 2007 Toyota. She owns and operates her own business, but she doesn’t make as much as her fiancé.
While she earns roughly $56,000 per year, her fiancé’s yearly salary varies. Last year, he made about $120,000 and $250,000 the year before that. He made significantly less last year because he didn’t work as much as the year before.
“He is quite materialistic. He made less last year because he was out on a boat, flaunting his lifestyle all summer. The money changed him. He’s just different. His ego is completely inflated, and he feels untouchable,” she said.
After accumulating wealth, her fiancé purchased a massive home and five cars. She rents out her house because she adores it and doesn’t have the heart to sell it, and now she lives with her fiancé. He purchases presents for her all the time, but he never buys items she would pick out for herself.

A few weeks ago, he purchased a Gucci handbag for her, even though he knew this bag wasn’t her style.
When he gave her the bag, she thanked him and acted grateful, but she was upset that he never listened when she said these types of items weren’t what she liked.
Every time she suggests gift ideas that she’d appreciate, he complains that the items she wanted were too cheap or not flashy enough.
Her interests include painting, drawing, and reading. She doesn’t pay attention to fashion trends. It’s disappointing that rather than buying her something she’d love, like a book or canvas, he bought her a Gucci bag he knew she wouldn’t have wanted in the first place.
She is annoyed because she thinks he buys her luxury items so that she can improve “his image.” Her fiancé hasn’t outright told her this; all he says is that he enjoys spoiling her with gifts now that he can afford to, reminding her that she met him when he was broke and couldn’t buy her gifts.
A couple of weeks ago, she and her fiancé got together with his friend, James, and James’s girlfriend, Naomi. She and James have a lot in common and have good conversations, but Naomi resembles her fiancé.
“Naomi’s definitely big on appearance and money and gives James a super hard time constantly for not providing a better life for them (she doesn’t work). James is more laid back,” she explained.
James has a cute home and a couple of vehicles, but nothing flashy, and he’s content with his lifestyle the way it is.
Money was brought up while they were talking because Naomi complained that James didn’t earn a high enough salary.
This was when her fiancé began bragging about his wealth. Later, he suggested getting James a job at his company, but James rejected the idea.
“He commented, ‘Yeah, my lady wouldn’t have nice things if it weren’t for me.’ So, I asked what he meant by that, and he said, ‘Well, we know you won’t spend money on yourself for whatever reason, so you definitely wouldn’t have nice things if I didn’t like them. Like, look at this Gucci bag. You need me to get your stuff, or you would just never have anything,'” she shared.
She responded that she didn’t need to rely on him or the presents he bought her. Her fiancé was visibly uneasy, and he told her that wasn’t what he’d meant before changing the topic. James and Naomi were staring at them and obviously uncomfortable.
Once they left, her fiancé told her she humiliated him and that she shouldn’t reacted the way she did because, according to him, she didn’t understand his comment in its full context.
He thought she made him look like a moron. She said that if he hadn’t been trying to impress Naomi by bragging about his money, they wouldn’t be having this argument. After their fight, her fiancé gave her the cold shoulder.
What advice would you give her?
