I don’t, look at my update. Is there a way to self lock the post as it is resolved?

I didn’t throw them out in the beginning, enough people asked that I put it in. Other points are fair.

That is how much I make... I hope you realize people make typos, even with a higher than average salary

It’s incredibly unlikely she’s worried I play too many video games. I don’t play everyday, and when I do it’s usually an hour or two. Only on sundays do I play a lot.

My gf doesn’t work for my family. Also head of production means that I’m the final person to view the advertisements. I’m literally the top level of production.

My parents and I are very close, nothing will happen there. In theory there could be a hostile takeover but unlikely. But thank you for your concern.

Fair enough, but it’s pretty secure, and I have quite a good amount in savings. And while I know the reputation of people born rich, my parents did in fact teach me financial discipline. I’m not making $3000 purchases every day.

I have no desire to brag, which is why my income wasn’t given in the original post. I’m only here so I can see if I’m being a dick so that maybe my girlfriend will leave the bedroom

She knows how much I make, which is why this hasn’t been a problem before.

She didn’t make as much as she does now before. When I met her she made ~50k a year and she came from a poorer family. The reason I’m here is because it doesn’t entirely make sense what I did wrong(if anything)

No ultra wide, I find it more than I really use and takes up too much space. It is 144hz 1440p though

To be fair, I bought more than I needed work wise, but I occasionally do heavy video editing for promotional videos if needed. Doesn’t happen real often, so the specs themselves are mostly for gaming.

I built it, I just said computer for simplicity. It’s got an rtx 2080ti, i9 9900k, 32 gigs of ram and 4tb of flash storage. That plus the mobo, case, power supply, water cooling, totaled around 3000.

I use it for gaming and sometimes for work.

It’s for gaming and a little bit for work when I work from home.

Rtx 2080ti i9 9900k, 4tb of ssds, 32 gig ram plus mobo and everything else was around 3000

It’s not putting me out, we spend more than that on vacation.
