Lesson learned: If a woman asks how much you make, break it off ASAP. 796 upvotes | April 28, 2015 | by [deleted] ------------------------- Thread is closed, this is the internet. I don't care what you think about me I was just sharing my experience. Believe me or not, it makes no difference. My gf broke up with me yesterday and the reason I understood is because I don't have a job and she thinks I am broke. I am an engineering student(my parents set me up with a college fund that pays all of my expenses) and I have saved and invested my money wisely my whole life and I am proud of my current financial situation. If I follow my current plan I will be buying my first house before I turn 25. The day we broke up she pushed very hard to see how much money I have and how I make money but I stuck to the advice my dad taught me to never tell anyone how much you make/have. She couldn't understand why I did not want to tell her and kept saying I should tell her since shes my GF. Her reasoning for why I should tell her how much money I have is because she is my GF. I should have broken up with her on the spot. Instead she broke up with me less than 2 hours later by text. She told me I have no job, no motivation and no life goals and that she deserves better. I didn't even try to argue against it because I know that I deserve better. This made her very upset and today she messaged me saying she misses me. I didn't reply and I won't be talking to her again. Lesson learned: If a woman asks how much you make, break it off ASAP. Update: thanks to everyone with kind words. She messaged me while today saying she has reconsidered and would like to try again. No thanks, no reply. To everyone saying I'm beta or she thinks I'm beta, im not going to argue with you because that's beta and because any of the arguments I could use will just sound like I'm lying and trying to impress a bunch of people online. Other important lesson(I think I heard it on TRP first): never emotionally invest yourself more into a relationship than she has invested herself. Update two: If you think I'm less of a man because I have a successful dad then you're fucking inbred. This girl is 18, I am 21 and if you can't get over the fact that some people in this world are set up better than others for whatever reason then you may as well kill yourself now because you're never going to survive. ------------------------- Archived from https://theredarchive.com/post/31935
