The bolded is literally how my ex and I just got into it two months ago.
She knows I make WAY MORE than her but I had a family thing I had to handle at the end of the year last year
that set me back by thousands of dollars.
I told her that our V-Day date would be scaled back because I just spent a lot to handle some major shyt.
She cried on the phone and said that I didn't think she was important.
We officially called it quits this past Sunday but she:
Has two kids.
Is criminally irresponsible (failing the fukk out of college, getting written up at work etc.)
Major spend thrift and specifically wants a breh with money for that.
And I've reached the conclusion that a phat ass can only go so far and because we didn't financially align, it's up.
Also, you're right, if people don't respect or understand money, it really shows tbh.
