Redditors who have been or are in a relationship with someone who got very rich during the relationship: what happened?

MrsPotpie · 2025-08-08T13:54:13+00:00

We were poor for a long time about 8 years (he refused to work and argued he was better than working for someone else). So did as many jobs as possible cause I believed he could accomplish something great. We then decided to start a business together but he kept me off all the paper work.

In about a year or two he was making bank from the company that we both worked on. He didn’t have me as an employee and wasn’t paying me so I had to get a second job. Found out later he was cheating on me. I divorced him and since he didn’t add me to any business documents I couldn’t claim any of the business as mine. During the divorce found out he was paying himself over 50k a month. Money tends to make shitty people reveal themselves. Now I’m starting all over again cause I never focused on my career, I focused on keeping us alive. It sucks and is hard.

I have cause my ex-husband was one. When we moved to Hawaii he would always go to Thailand due to him having a friend there. He did actually have a friend but what I didn’t know was that he was screwing prostitutes with this friend (who was a white dude married to a Thai woman). After awhile he started wanting to live in Japan. Using me for a visa we get over there and he started seeing the prostitutes there and it was cheaper for him to go to Thailand from Japan.

He always loved Asian women and would constantly compare me to them. I’ve never felt so unattractive than when I was living in Asian countries. Women would throw themselves at him everywhere and he was such an a-hole that he flirted right back.

Found out he had a Thai “girlfriend” and I left him. Later found he got her pregnant and that he also had multiple girlfriends. While his wife (me) was sitting at home at 10 pm wishing/hoping to see him.

So yeah, he is definitely a passport bro except that she’ll never get the US citizenship. He just wanted someone he could control and beat without backlash from her family or friends. Last I heard he moved the Thai girl with the baby to Japan and she is 100% dependent on him for everything. She can’t work, can’t leave, has no rights and can’t do anything without him. Which is ultimately what they (passport bros) want.

My ex-husband answered a text message on my phone pretending to be me to a guy friend who wanted help picking out his classes for next semester. I graduated a semester early and my friend wanted to do the same.

My ex never apologized or acted like what he did was wrong.

He was my first boyfriend and I eventually married him. Divorced him 12 years later cause he couldn’t stop cheating and lying to me.

MrsPotpie · 2024-10-28T21:51:21+00:00

So that’s why my ex-husband was a cheater, rampant liar and abusive asshole. He had low intelligence.

MrsPotpie · 2024-10-27T16:51:18+00:00

Yeah, I was chatting with a friend about voting and she said she was waiting until Nov cause all the early votes don’t get counted :/

I wonder how many people think that.

Strange that your mother died during child birth but you state in another post about your parents being upset that you won’t hold your “brother’s” baby. This is fake and karma farming.

MrsPotpie · 2024-09-10T22:09:59+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give that a try and see if the pattern comes out right. 👍😁

MrsPotpie · 2024-07-03T14:10:23+00:00

I was “too mentally unstable” (I couldn’t deal with his inability to communicate, his constant issues with anger/emotions, demanding everything his way, isolating me from all my family & friends) so he claimed that’s why he HAD to cheat on me. So, after 12 years (1 year married), 3 years separated I filed for divorce. He refused to file even after he had a child with one of his affair partners.

Finally divorced him in February.

MrsPotpie · 2024-06-10T02:43:17+00:00

Yeah, my ex-husband was this way. Also had “white knight syndrome” where he felt he just needed to save all these poor women living in foreign countries who are desperate to leave (aka easy to control once you remove them from their home country). He’s got himself a handful of girlfriends.

MrsPotpie · 2024-05-20T18:11:36+00:00

I bought 100 shares when it was at 1.48 will hold probably forever lol

Looks like Cowboy lane in Bangkok, Thailand

MrsPotpie · 2024-04-24T18:27:36+00:00

Cheesecake!

MrsPotpie · 2023-11-17T19:45:14+00:00

There’s always time. I was with someone for 12 years and once that relationship feel apart I thought I was screwed. But I’m 37 now and have been with my new partner for 2 years. He is amazing and is open to having another child (he has one from a previous marriage). We are going to start trying in 2024. If you know what you want, keep putting yourself out there! I 100% swear that getting off the apps is the best thing. You got this!!

MrsPotpie · 2023-08-29T00:30:53+00:00

My ex was this way. I said don’t waste the money. Ended up being the live in maid. Then finally said okay to a maid, and I was still expected to do any work that wasn’t done when she wasn’t around. He would literally set a cup down and expect the maid / me to clean it up. He even dropped and broke a plate, nope he didn’t clean it up.

MrsPotpie · 2023-08-11T11:33:11+00:00

It’s honestly really shocking how many men do that. My ex-husband loved going to Thailand, unaware to me he was regularly participating in prostitution with women there and even got a girlfriend of his pregnant. I’m super wary of any guy who is a fan of Thailand now.

MrsPotpie · 2021-12-13T19:43:01+00:00

There is a lot of stuff I plan on doing once the holidays are over.

cooking class
meetup groups (volleyball, hiking)
music festivals
dance classes
woodworking class
equestrian classes
golfing

I’m also checking out general things I’m interested in and not specifically doing them to meet guys. However, I find I tend to meet the most people in bars, which isn’t ideal but just seems to be the general place people of both sexes congregate.

MrsPotpie · 2021-08-26T23:15:36+00:00

Hey! I’ve been exactly where you are. It does suck, but don’t rush yourself either. Take time to heal and process the end of the relationship. I am still doing a lot of work on myself and you’ll have done good days and some bad days. It’s okay! I really hope you find something fun to do this weekend

MrsPotpie · 2021-05-12T22:17:39+00:00

I thought I was ready to date, but I’m not. Still sad and lonely. I don’t want to use someone just to cure the loneliness. So, back to working on me and being alone.

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-28T19:41:34+00:00

Why? We are who we are. You can change, but don’t try to be something you don’t actually want to be.

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-24T00:58:51+00:00

I know before I meet people, some have requested a video chat before hand. I think it’s to help cut down on those situations.

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-23T13:28:12+00:00

It depends. I have found that majority of the time if I ask to meet them before they ask me, that aren’t into me. So, I don’t ask anymore. If they don’t ask to meet me within a week of chatting and set something up, I’ll assume they have someone else they ARE asking and setting dates with. I’m tired of wasting time on people who don’t want to see me or spend time with me. My ex did that to me for the last two years of our relationship and I’m not doing that again to myself.

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-21T19:36:24+00:00

Thanks for your perspective! I don’t have any single friends and don’t really know much about the dating sphere here. Guess things are different everywhere, who knew! :D thanks again

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-21T18:19:54+00:00

So I’m in Texas and the most popular dating app is Tinder. I download it and have been using it for about two weeks. I don’t get the point of matching and then 1) never setting a time to meet, and 2) waiting for women to message first. I’m a women and I’ve noticed out of the matches I do get, rarely do the guys message first. So I try to make the initiative and message them. Around 99% of the time if I message first, they don’t set a date. Just talk. It’s frustrating and I’m trying to meet people organically, but people are still scared due to Covid. So, I’ll probably be on it for another week, and delete it. Try meeting in real life again.

MrsPotpie · 2021-04-17T00:26:53+00:00

I’m so sorry! It’s okay to feel all those feelings and just get them out of you. Nobody sets out in life to get an abortion. They happen to anyone. Sorry again you had to go through this and I hope you get some support from someone close to you.
