This just reads so fake. It sounds like what a man who hasn’t managed to have a happy relationship with a woman might dream up. They say “she left me for a man with a better car” when she left him for someone that made her feel appreciated, supported and loved and he had a nice car.

I think that both men and women who act like that are trash, but it bugs me how many people don’t see them as equally shitty

I think her reasons for leaving suck, but I honestly can relate. My boyfriend and I both smoked for seven years, and I quit (he still smokes). I am learning Spanish and eating healthier and he has stayed the same. I'm ready to get fit and juice fast and he couldn't care less.

Self improvement matters to me and I feel like I am outgrowing him. I want more out of this relationship and want to travel/go on a vacation that isn't camping.

Sounds like she has a husband like those trolls in AITA and relationship_advice. I see nothing wrong with a woman waking up and recognizing she deserves better. Good for her, men do it all the time

I cant support this. When you marry someone it's not supposed to be for these reasons. This is really shjtty.

LOL. Why are they mad? Men do this to women all the time. The moment he gets successful or rich, he's dumping the girl that struggled with him to the top and he's getting his dream girl. That's why you never date a man for his "potential".

Whatever. A man being equally good or better on paper matters... as long as he’s also a good man.

It was my dad’s job to set a good living standard so that I would get comfortable and never accept less for myself or from anyone. I have been a pickme but I have had one short relationship with an HVM since my abusive LVM relationship when I was 21, in 2007. Ive never lowered my standards. I was blessed with a good father, I’m not going to end up with some loser after a lifetime of being told I deserve whatever I want.

And my Dad is far from perfect. So that says something because I know how much and how hard he worked and he spent every evening and weekend with his children. He made sure his then-homemaking wife had help when he wasn’t there. And he didn’t even want kids! And that really helped me to be stone cold confident in being childfree because my parents have never even asked me if I wanted children and are totally supportive of my choice to be childfree. I had a good childhood and easy adulthood (for a black woman with a mental illness at least. Or I’d literally be dead.). I’m never going to let myself forget any of it now that I know how lucky I am.

I kind of get what she means but only in this aspect - I personally wouldn’t want to be with someone who becomes contempt and doesn’t want to improve himself and become successful. However, does this mean she knowingly settled in her marriage? She didn’t list her husbands situation. We have no idea if he’s working on himself and his career. Would she still think this if she didn’t get fit and get promoted? Money and nice cars really isn’t everything.

She is being a bit harsh and I think she’s romanticising those men and their assets too much tbh. If she’s levelling up in her career and wants a luxury lifestyle why does she need to depend on those men who aren’t even guaranteed going to treat her well?

I strongly believe it’s more rewarding to live a luxury life you’ve worked for - rather than depending on someone else for it.

Overall, she doesn’t seem like a pleasant person tbh. I wouldn’t be friends with someone like that

ThatGirl60 · 2020-05-20T14:14:40+00:00

I mean if he’s a good man don’t leave him! Those men with bigger house and nicer cars only started liking her because she’s “hot” now. What happens if she gets ill or gets old and can’t look or earn that way more?

I don’t like this post, because oftentimes this is the logic men use to leave their wives who get cancer or maybe a physical disability.

I can understand why people are mad, OP.

Jumpingonair · 2020-05-20T16:39:18+00:00

I hope there is something more to the story. Because yeah, it sounds bad.

blackredrosepetals · 2020-05-20T17:02:40+00:00

The difference is that when women do this, it’s because their partners aren’t putting in any effort into their appearance, trying to get work promotions, being better at sex, or otherwise spicing up the relationship.

When men do this, it’s not because their girlfriend stops putting effort into the relationship and themself but because she is naturally plain-jane looking.

coolestgirlyoueverme · 2020-05-20T13:51:47+00:00

Men do the same all the time....

jeanneeebeanneee · 2020-05-20T18:51:58+00:00

These Quora posts are almost all trolls just looking to get the highest number of reactionary answers possible. That said, I see nothing wrong with a woman leveling up and wanting better than a scrub, although I'm not sure she should be looking to a man's car and house to signal his value.

cherthemusical · 2020-05-20T22:16:48+00:00

Lol a woman didn't write this.

mscristalconnors · 2020-05-20T14:28:22+00:00

Men destroy marriages for their selfish needs...

We need to put ourselves first. This woman is not trash...
