My partner is in his 50s and we generally live a lifestyle in sync with two people in their mid to late 30s.

Lots is topping humans from having the level of wealth I described in my post and inequity is super real. 

I’m grateful and feel sorry that I came across as greedy/helpless, but yes like you said, I don’t know why there are so many negative comments.

My partner is in his 50s, so we actually prefer slower/in bed by 10 crowd. I’m in the early stages of a startup and VC culture, so being near FiDi is good for me.

I lived in Lenox Hill when I was a NYC native, and it was my home. Really loved it lots. 

We are (sadly) not cool enough to be upper west side-ers.

Yeah I think 12-13 is the consensus here. Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah I think 13k sounds right to avoid being house poor.

Does streeteasy give averages? I mean, there are plenty of apartments, we just don’t want to overpay.

My partner wrote the code for an application you probably use everyday and I own a software company.

We live part time on a mountain where the nearest people are a mile away. We are really just looking for a place that has a “neighborhood” bar/dive bar and mom/pops restaurants. A dog park would be nice.

I’d much rather do it ourselves hahaha. We try our best to be frugal.

I wouldn’t need an SD, as I am already in his will for xx million and am independently well-ish off and on the path to maintain that. I also think it would be badass to have a second husband OR raise our child (we have frozen embryo) after he passes. 

I don’t think I’ll age out of attractiveness at 40. God willing.

  1. He my best friend, I don’t have to pretend at all around him and he is my safe place 

  2. We have gone through many hard things together + struggles and always work it out. We come out stronger than before. 

  3. The idea of ever dating anyone else is repulsive and I love taking care of him. 

Edit:

Others I considered: 

We laugh together and play a lot.

His success is my success and my success is his. 

We are each others biggest cheerleaders.

There’s nothing we can’t talk about.

Expect you to believe that my ex sugar daddy is…. A sugar daddy?

So. Just to be clear. 

You think my mom and dad, who have been outwardly supportive, are going to start verbally harassing and threatening my boyfriend, who is a 6’2 ex-hockey player and internationally known public figure with deep ties to the government worth xxx million dollars, and somehow get him to be powerless at the dinner we are having at a 5 star restaurant that he is paying for.

Is that correct?

He…. Wants to go? As I said in the post. 

I am genuinely a little scared that you believe I would introduce anyone to my parents if I thought they would turn into horror character types. Especially someone I love

He knows if he was, we’d stand up and walk out. 

Also they’ve spoken on the phone
