He’s Spent Over $20,000 On His Girlfriend In The Last Two Months, And She Thinks He Should Spend All Of His Money On Whatever She Wants
Three years ago, this 24-year-old guy began dating his girlfriend, who is the same age as him, and back then, he was broke as a joke.
He decided to start his own business, which his girlfriend was always supportive of. Two years into growing his business, things really took off, and now he earns more than $1 million dollars every year.
He is aware of the good old saying that if you can’t appreciate someone when they have no money, you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re at their best, but he is beginning to doubt his relationship with his girlfriend.
Despite her being with him through thick and thin, she has developed a wicked shopping addiction and now expects him to spend all of his money on whatever she wants.
She has been unemployed for about a year, as he told her she should quit her awful job, so she did.
Every month, he gives his girlfriend $3,000 so she can purchase anything she pleases, and he wants her to have her own money to spend.
However, his girlfriend literally blows through all of that money every single month, purchasing makeup and clothing for herself.
He also pays for every part of their lifestyle, like their rent, groceries, transportation, and overall household expenses.
In addition, he buys his girlfriend clothes and pays for them to eat at expensive restaurants or go on lavish vacations.

For their anniversaries and Valentine’s Days spent together, he has spent about $5,000 for every occasion on pricey gifts for his girlfriend.
“She sometimes cooks for me, sometimes cleans, sometimes offers to help me, but mostly she just scrolls TikTok all day while I work every moment of the day,” he explained.
“Every time I’ve bought her something expensive, she waits a few days, then finds a new thing that she wants (expensive item) and starts putting this idea in my head. If I say no, she will not talk to me or will be mad at me and will beg multiple times a day until I give up and buy it.”
“I’ve spent over $20k in the last 2 months, and I feel this will go up more. I have not told her that I earn this much; she knows that I earn 50k/mo. I feel like I am buying love.”
His girlfriend also speaks about their future in a way that makes him realize the spending will never end.
She wants a $15,000 handbag this year and a brand-new car that costs more than $100,000. His girlfriend has also stated that in order to start a family with him, she needs him to purchase an apartment for her. She also expects a ridiculously expensive “push present” when she does have their first child.
He and his girlfriend have argued a lot about the gifts he buys for her, and he has said to her that gifts should be given freely; they shouldn’t be a requirement in a relationship.
Her response is always if he loves her for real, he will have no problem buying her anything she wants to have.
He does believe his girlfriend loves him, but she just doesn’t understand what he is bringing to the table here.
If they did ever break up, his girlfriend would be forced to go back to work or find another rich guy to take care of her, as she has no money saved.
“It was our 3-year anniversary a week ago, and I said that I’d buy her a jewelry item that costs $4k, and I bought it 2 days ago,” he said.
“Yesterday, she said that she wants a necklace now, which costs $3k, and maybe I could take it off the monthly money that I give her, but I know, if I do that, she won’t have any excess money, and will ask for money next month anyways. I told her, and she did not talk to me for hours.”
“I feel like the money has really made her super materialistic, and I don’t like this side of her. Of course, people like nice things, but demanding it or talking about expensive jewelry all day really leaves an impression as if she has turned into a gold digger. I know that this will get even worse. Is there a way out of it together?”
