My girlfriend on a recent cruise (that I was paying for) made a point of telling me that a lawyer worth $10m was chasing after her. I'm not poor, have a solid income, but he is out of my league. She claimed that the lawyer wouldn't spend enough time with her, so she was choosing me. It sounded like she thought she was doing me a favour by hanging around me, and having periodic sex with me. This girl is attractive in photos in which she she poses, though she is putting on some belly fat, which she hides well through clothing tricks.

She's 56, so well past the wall though she still looks pretty good when she wants to. She believes she's got lots of options, and I'm lucky to have her. She also believes she should be the centre of my world. She's got lots of money, bragged once to having more than me, but when we go out she almost never offers to pay, always waiting on me to pick up the tab.

In a candid moment on the same cruise, she said she wanted to spend all my spare cash so I wouldn't have any money left for any other women.

Lately she's taken to offer me "constructive" feedback. I take it as scolding. It comes off as petty to me, a kind of mothering thing.

My questions:

Hypergamy demands she get her best deal. If her lawyer story is true, why the fuck is she still hanging around me?

I've known this girl for about six months. Realizing AWALT and I'll just get anothe model of the same thing, when to next her?
