My Boyfriend Found Out I'm Rich And Started Using It Against Me r/Relationships

[@Tyggs42]

OP in the first story sounds like one of the most down to earth "raised rich" people I've ever heard of. Kudos for her and for her parents doing such am excellent job raising her to be humble.

[@brenttaylor8907]

Yes. And some of the most down to earth rich people I have met are the "self-made" first generation rich but the kids I know seemed normal to me as well. Then again I am referring mostly to mere millionaires in the US Midwest.

[@marshawargo7238]

I Think it would be a Major Mistake if she does start telling new boyfriends about her wealth at the beginning. That should be a individual assessment. Different people, Different reactions! Funny nobody commented on it in the "community comments"

[@lucialovecraft]

I knew someone exactly like her. She comes from a very VERY wealthy family but she prefers getting clothes from charity shops and was so down to Earth. We didn’t treat her any differently. I’m the complete opposite, I’m from a working class background. I miss that girl 💜

[@reina21170]

I was 21 or 22 at the time (around 91-92j I went to a bar with my Mom and before I could even take my coat off and sit to order a drink this guy walked up and asked if I wanted to dance. I told him maybe in a little bit as I wanted to have a drink first. He came back up to me not even 5 minutes later and asked again we had just ordered our drinks as they were busy, I told him again maybe in a bit. This continued for at least the next couple of hours. I had been dancing with some of the other regulars I knew so every time he started to approach I was off again. I had just started refusing to dance with him something in my gut said stay away from him. I went to the restroom and he approached my Mom and asked why I wouldn’t I dance with him told her “I make over a $100,00 a year (in the 90’s that was really good money) I could make her so happy” my Mom’s reply was “ She don’t care how much you make if she doesn’t like you she don’t like you” after that I talked to the owner and told him of my problem who knew us and he sent the bouncer over to him to tell him I was off limits to him. The owner and bouncer knew me very well as I had been bringing my Mom to that bar since 1988 when I turned 18. It was 21 and over even then but they knew I wouldn’t touch a drink and I held that trust with them until I was 21 then it was party time.

[@MaleStomper]

I learned from the show Paternity court that people will say anything to win an argument, including "Well, (insert child's name) might not even be yours," generally followed by an insult and attempt to end the conversation cause they got the final blow. A bell that can't be unrung as they'd say.

[@KE-hr4sb]

S2: Yeah no. 1) Being someone's emergency contact is not legal or binding; otherwise, you'd need to draw up legal papers for it. As it is, you don't even have to tell someone you've put them down as an emergency contact. 2) You didn't know about the allergies or medical "details" so you couldn't have provided them with the information they needed any faster. 3) Your abuser's family is now abusing you...hmmm. Sounds like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Tell them a) you broke up three years ago. B) you didn't even know about his medical conditions or allergies. C) you never asked to be his emergency contact and it's not your fault he hasn't updated it since, or, you know, put his family on there. D) His negligence at updating relevant medical information does not take away your bodily autonomy to never have anything to do with your abuser again. Say if they want to sue they are more than welcome to see you in court, and you are countersuing for emotional distress over the abuse he put you through, their harassment, etc.

[@smiley4995]

I mean when you litterally tell the hospital "I hope he dies" it isn't much of a stretch to assume you maliciously didn't tell them about his allergy.

[@fluidwolf]

Some people have it out for people outside their social class, whether that person has actually done anything wrong sadly it seems. Honestly if I found my partner to be rich I would be interested in hearing about how their life went then thinking they are spoiled for having money, especially if they showed nothing like that in 8 months. Some rich people looking down on others isn't good at all but people who aren't rich looking down on someone who is isn't any better.

[@House2017]

There was an actual Marxist who warned me about lower class snobbery and how it wasn't a good thing.

But yeah, I wish I could just casually Plonk down £1000's on something- a new house would be nice! 🤣 Final story- Kind of says something about the brother when his first thought about his wife not being at work is "Affair!" but that was a bit of a rollercoaster!

[@bricksloth6920]

If you believe your partner is cheating, the relationship is already on fire. Searching the partner's diary/phone/computer for evidence is pouring gasoline on the fire instead of a fire extinguisher. If you want to save your relationship, you talk to your partner. If you don't trust them to be monogamous or tell the truth to you, just save yourself and everyone else the grief and break up

[@AllistorMichelle]

[@00fcheeseyp]

She shows her true colors at the end "this is the first time I've dated outside my social class with everyone else there was the assumption of wealth. She purposely didn't tell him then intentionally flashed her hidden wealth then tried to mitigate the fact that all those things he is saying are accurate and he never had a reason why until now.

[@thedarkestkinghtstar]

@@00fcheeseyp Since when was it common to discuss your parents wealth with a boyfriend or girlfriend? I've never had that conversation with boyfriends because I'm not entitled to that information as I'm dating him not his parents. Nah, the one who showed their true colors was her boyfriend. He's the one that harassed, mocked, and belittled her. Dismissing her thoughts and opinions simply because her parents wealth even though he didn't have that opinion beforehand. Seems like she wasn't out of touch if he only gained that opinion once he learned of her parent's wealth.

[@House2017]

Given that wealth is gained off the backs of others(many of whom are overworked/underpaid/needlessly struggling), I don't blame "a lot of people" for wanting change. Nor do I blame people for choosing to support other systems and refuse to bootlick the wealthy. But, that doesn't excuse people like the boyfriend. He's just an asshole no matter what he believes. As someone said below, he was likely a Controlling asshole who found that someone with greater resources would be harder for him to trap.

[@fionna_cool_girl]

2:00 I agree with this comment. My boyfriends parents are rich however my boyfriend himself is not. He has ADHD, ADD and takes antidepressants and anxiety medication. He struggled a lot and there was a time he'd barely eat or sleep and he even showed me pictures of that hard time when he was really skinny...like.. REALLY skinny. Skinnier than me and I felt horrible for him. The only thing his parents provided for him was a big college fund ONLY for college, they never handed him money all willy nilly. He describes his family as "rich people that earned and invested their money and don't flaunt their wealth" meanwhile another part of his family does flaunt their wealth and is basically stereotypical rich people that buy fancy stuff any time they can. He's talked about his struggles in college, being pressured about choosing a degree and sticking to it. He kept changing his major several times, using up a lot of his college fund and ultimately running out. Eventually that's how we met. After years of him struggling, one year he took care of his grandpa and he decided to be a civil drafter because his grandpa was and he attended the local community college and paid for his own classes. That's how we met and eventually he told me the story. I never had the expectation of my boyfriend paying for everything in my life or on our dates however my dad has said "he comes from a rich family, why do you pay for most of the dates?" And I get irritated. I pay for them because HE doesn't have lots of money and I'm fine with that. My boyfriend is kinda an introverted extrovert like me. He's the type of person that wants to stay inside and just play video games in his spare time to save money. However since my bf is the first person I've ever gone on a date with, I always try to find new and exciting events and I try to find cheap ones. I love my boyfriend for who he is. I don't care if his family is rich and he's not. That's not why I love him. Plus I've met his family and they're kind and wonderful people so they're cool people I'd be happy to have as my in-laws one day as my biggest value in life is family. I didn't care if his family is rich, I just wanted to know if I'd have good in-laws like me and are polite to me and so far his parents make me feel so welcome and that's all that should matter. You hear a lot of nightmare stories about in-laws and I just wanna do my best to avoid that situation and so far I feel like I have.

[@tazhienunurbusinezz1703]

Brother obviously failed human biology. Yikes.

[@JetScreamer_YT]

What is rich these days? I grew up in the horse world. Though my parents did well, our family may have been one of the poorest of the rich. Luckily, we had talent on our side. They are very cool that they pick attraction over money. Realistic too. She is privileged. There is nothing wrong with using it. It can be intimidating to show up in a home that might be significantly more luxurious than your own. Warning would be cool. But her money should not be met with contempt. It was His toxic masculinity at fault.

Paternity Story: Maeve was never in love with her husband. She liked him, but her real feelings were always for OP. The choices people make. She married him in hope that she would fall in love. You don't do this unless you are from a culture that has arranged marriages.

[@srkh8966]

Yes, they do.

[@avalineriley6809]

Last story, you would be surprised how many men and women marry someone they don't love. Usually it's because they can't have the person they want and either settle for someone they like or someone that reminds them of the person they actually want. I've never agreed witht that. If you don't have feelings for someone, don't drag them down to your level. It isn't fair on them or any kids you may have.

[@Mario-SunshineGalaxy64]

The comments on the last post calling the brother controlling or blaming him for the failed marriage are presumptions. Maeve was checking out off the marriage after having to fake being happy for so long, so it’s reasonable that the brother would be looking for evidence of an affair since a change in behavior or routine are often indicators of cheating. Just saying, people are often criticized for snooping or spying on their partners but if it does turn out that they were cheating or something then it’ll be beneficial for them.

For the emergency contact there quite possibly are grounds for lawsuit here. As she woefully disregarded good Samaritan laws.

It is actually ok to break up with someone because their family is wealthy (you should judge the family and partner on their actual behavior instead of stereotypes, which the bf doesn't seem to have done, but the naked fact is many wealthy families are simply too dysfunctional and overbearing to become involved with and it's ok to act on that). But it's NOT ok to insult and emotionally abuse your partner until they can't stand you anymore, instead of having the class and courage to be honest and decisive, as kindly as possible b/c the problem is yours not theirs. It's certainly not ok to play the victim, to lie and start a smear campaign against them. What a spineless little plague of a boyfriend.

The RICHEST people I have ever known were basically penniless but had kindness and love in their hearts which to me made them far richer than anyone who I met who had millions of dollars in the bank

Yea but some people can’t even access their trust fund without string attached or only parts of it at a time. Even people who aren’t rich can have a little trust fund that they can’t access without reaching say a certain age set by the person who started the funds. A rich kid with a trust fund can easily run through the money depending on the amount and how they were raised regarding money. It’s quite possible that without their parents constant cash flow to them that a rich kid can become poor especially if they are cut off or walk away.

First story, OP sounds really cool and the bf is in the wrong, *but* I don't think that people who haven't grown up in poverty realise that its genuinely traumatic to grow up with the constant, pervasive stress around not knowing how you'll make it to the end of the month, having to skip meals and go without the very basics (like not having a working boiler in winter). These experiences do make people resentful of the very rich not just because they have so much but because very often they have that much money from paying those below them poverty wages. So while I dont know if its the case for the BF I definitely get why a lot of people have so much resentment/disdain for the rich and that they can misdirect it like in this case
