He Lost All Respect For His Girlfriend After She Started Accepting Gifts From A Wealthy Older Man She Teaches Tennis To
This 36-year-old man and his 33-year-old girlfriend have been dating for more than two years now, and a little over a year ago, his girlfriend moved in with him.
Back when his girlfriend was younger, she was a professional tennis player, and not that long ago, she chose to go back to coaching as her full-time career. Most of her clients are part of a tennis club, so she coaches there.
Things between them have been rocky throughout the last year, as they both were working in the tech industry and got laid off.
Over the last several months, their relationship has been improving. They rarely fight, they communicate well, and they truly get one another.
Despite their trials and tribulations, they’re serious and have discussed marriage and starting a family.
Now, three or four months back, his girlfriend started coaching this very handsome, 47-year-old CEO who also happens to be incredibly wealthy.
He found out about the guy after he went to watch his girlfriend play in a tournament and realized this guy was her partner.
His girlfriend and her client won, and this guy picked up his girlfriend and kissed her on the cheek. He thought that was an excessive way to celebrate the win, but let it go.
Days later, he then found out that his girlfriend’s client bought her a pricey tennis racket as a thank-you present.

Weeks later, his girlfriend played in the largest tournament their country has, and her client showed up for every single game. One day, her client was there for 8 hours straight, supporting her.
“At this point, I already know something is up, and at home, I ask her about this guy and what his deal is,” he explained.
“My GF is like, yeah, I don’t know. I guess he likes me, and I’m like, yeah, it kind of shows. Then she proceeds to tell me that this guy offered to sponsor her if she wanted to do international tournaments again as he noticed that she was so good. ”
“This includes travel arrangements, individual coaching with a pro coach, tournament fees, and absolutely everything (tennis is expensive). This is when I get angry because to me, it seems like this obviously likes her and is pulling a major power play. She even told me that she was considering it, I told her that if she accepts that offer I’m basically done with her. This was a difficult conversation. It lasted for a few days.”
They were able to move on, and he trusted his girlfriend to manage her client and set boundaries. But a couple of days ago, his girlfriend mentioned she’s attending a doubles tournament, and when he asked who she was playing with, she said it was her rich client.
He got super upset, but his anger grew after his girlfriend admitted her client bought her roses a week ago and had purchased other gifts for her.
His girlfriend confessed she was considering her client’s offer to sponsor her, too. Well, he absolutely lost it and attempted to get his girlfriend to see that this guy is hitting on her, which is disrespectful to him.
He broke up with his girlfriend and said she had to move out. They spoke over the last three days, and he rescinded the breakup.
“She said she wants to be with me,” he continued. “And she agreed that with this guy, yeah, she does feel special when he’s nice to her, and obviously when he gave her the roses, she threw them away (didn’t take them home), but she only told me a week later, and because I asked her if he has given her flowers…”
“Anyway, now we are in a phase of, let’s figure this out; I told her to eliminate him from her life completely, no more lessons or tournaments. And that’s the only way we can continue, however I still feel like she has betrayed me, and I’ve lost some respect for her.”
“Not sure if I’m doing the right thing by continuing with this instead of standing my ground and telling her to leave.”
“Deep down, I do want to fix this, and I think she does, too. Should I end things or continue the relationship? Any advice on what I should do?”
