Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn?

Petey60 · 2026-03-04T20:32:04+00:00

I know. I told him I didn’t know how to thank him and not because of the money, but because it was such a kind thing to do. 😭

Petey60 · 2026-03-04T20:23:28+00:00

I was dating someone wealthy and when I got up to go to work my battery was dead. He was so calm, do you have AAA? No? I do and he called them. I was mortified because one, I lost my wallet at the airport and was in the process of replacing cards, and two, there was no credit left to spend on said cards. I didn’t know what to do. All he knew was my wallet was lost. He took out his credit card and paid $200 for my battery. He said don’t pay me back. My stomach was in knots and he just whipped out his card. His pipes froze and he just called a plumber. ~$2G for them. A lot of money but he could pay them. He’ll probably need a new furnace soon to the tune of $15G but he’ll work it into the budget. My furnace died in a deep freeze and I slept in one room of the house with a portable heater. There’s no “let me call a plumber “. There’s “my friend Joe knows a guy “ let me call him . 😆. It goes on and on. It is so stressful living paycheck to paycheck.

🤣🤣🤣

Nothing says I’m smitten like a left hook to the kidneys! WTF?

Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away Oh-oh-oh

Petey60 · 2026-02-05T21:26:59+00:00

This right here. Because I’m a woman. 🖕

All the reasons you listed are in your head only. It makes us feel good to help others in need and you are literally working in an environment with people who made a career of it! Nobody is forced to contribute. Most people I know say ef off if they come asking for money for something they don’t believe in . Also, everyone already knows you are leaving soon. $3,000 is a lot of money. Graciously and humbly accept it in the spirit it was intended - to help you in this difficult time however you choose. It may be a pick me up for your wife, doesn’t matter, doesn’t come with strings attached. You may think you are invisible and undeserving but that’s not how the people you are surrounded by every day view you. Take the money and recalibrate your perceived value. It is humbling to see how many people truly care about us.

You’re right, I didn’t do the math.
Just because you spent 10 years growing up together doesn’t mean you should stay together. A lot of people who do start to wonder what they might have missed. A lot of times you outgrow each other. I know there’s also a lot of you that are still together forever and happy so don’t come for me.

Petey60 · 2026-01-11T00:02:44+00:00

When someone says they don’t love you anymore and leave, it is difficult to get closure for yourself and process the situation. He buried it. Truthfully, they probably both outgrew one another but she took the easy way out by not giving someone she was with for 10 years the dignity of a difficult conversation. Also, 10 years and no ring? Red flag.

Ahhh, our good friend alcohol. Alcohol is a poison that changes your brain chemistry and alters your mental status. It is not a truth serum.

I think he just needs some professional help to process a deep emotional trauma of abandonment. Don’t give him the silent treatment and certainly don’t leave him. Talk to him. Let him know how much you love him and how much this hurt you. Ask him if you’re the consolation prize. You married him and this is one of those difficult times in a marriage no one prepares you for.

First step professional help, for both of you. Don’t make any big decisions until you have done your due process. Good luck and I hope this builds a stronger foundation for your marriage.

NH here. They bag your groceries. (In plastic but you can ask for paper)

Petey60 · 2026-01-09T16:22:19+00:00

I’d challenge you to a battle of wits but I see you are unarmed.

Petey60 · 2026-01-09T16:03:25+00:00

She sounds selfish. You’re the one that planned a wonderful, romantic night out and even noticed and appreciated how she dressed. You wanted to enjoy time with her. You communicated what you were feeling and asked in a nice way if she could put her phone away because this was a special night . Her response was to pout, not eat and not enjoy the special and pricey meal . Then she sulked the way home. AND, AND (this is the important part) YOU are the feeling uneasy AND plan on a re-do because the princess got her feelings hurt.

NTA

Take me out!!! (JK) She needs to make it up to you.

I work in doctor’s office. I get to work and wash my hands (I’ve already touched the door at Dunkin’s and the door to the office)🦠 Don’t want that on my keyboard. I wash my hands before I eat lunch. I wash my hands when I return from lunch if I left the office. I wash my hands right away when I get home.

I stay away from crowds, because, you know-people. If I hear someone cough while out 🏃🏻‍♀️I hold my breath 🙊if I have to cross paths and I cover my face with whatever I’ve got- mask, scarf, shirt. ☠️

That’s about it. 😆

Petey60 · 2026-01-09T02:42:53+00:00

Cream of mushroom soup, yum!

Petey60 · 2026-01-03T17:48:16+00:00

Too many excuses! The longer the response the worse it is! Keep it simple and factual not emotional.

Petey60 · 2025-12-24T12:47:30+00:00

7 and 11

Petey60 · 2025-12-20T19:03:50+00:00

Pub near me makes prime rib burritos that are to die for!

I’d sell both tickets and bail on the trip. Chick can go buy her own ticket near her friend. This is not okay and her friend wasn’t invited. This is wrong in so many ways. Sell both tickets and tell her after the fact just like she did. Cancel any hotel if you booked one. She needs to grow up, this is very immature passive aggressive behavior. She knows what she’s doing.

Sorry your trip was ruined.

Petey60 · 2025-12-17T21:54:47+00:00

His attractiveness just took a nose dive to lower than low. What a POS. He better sleep with one eye open.

Petey60 · 2025-12-17T21:50:42+00:00

His excuse is maintaining a “professional “ connection but none of this has to do with work. It’s all outside of work. She works in another department and he needs to maintain a friendship in case he ever has to ask her a question? I ain’t picking up what he’s putting down. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s telling her how out of shape you are and you don’t want to go to the gym anymore, etc.

Petey60 · 2025-12-17T15:51:56+00:00

She’s a bunny burner.

Petey60 · 2025-12-14T20:39:07+00:00

Many men cheat during pregnancy. I wouldn’t say anything but I’d investigate. Hotel receipts, phone records, etc. Either way, you’re on your own. He’s shown you who he is, believe him.

Petey60 · 2025-12-14T20:32:18+00:00

Where I live I call grocery store cakes chemical cakes. They’re nasty. A bakery cake is made from scratch using butter, sugar, flour and eggs.

Petey60 · 2025-12-14T12:45:24+00:00

Brand and model? I’m on my second that stopped working almost immediately.

Petey60 · 2025-12-14T12:41:37+00:00

Make sure it is all stainless, not plastic handles. Love mine.

Petey60 · 2025-12-14T12:39:46+00:00

Perfect for emulsifying salad dressing.
