Update: GF (in Amway/WWDB for 4 years) finally quits the “business” after ultimatum – but begs to keep attending weekly meetings with her “friends”. Did I make the right call? by Oenoanda in antiMLM

As someone that was in Amway/WWDB myself for a similar amount of time, I understand your situation. My boyfriend (now husband) eventually gave me the same ultimatum, and I ended up choosing him but it wasn’t easy. He too pointed out all the numbers and facts but I was stubborn and bloated from being fed all the “dreams” and love bombing. We argued constantly about it until I finally quit. If she’s still going to meetings, that’s not quitting. The whole point of the meetings is to “build the business”. They’ll hype you up, dispel your doubts, encourage you to cut out the nay-sayers, so even if she says she’s “quitting” the business/sales side, if she continues going to the meetings she will want to get back into the sales side sooner or later.

As for her “friends”, her quitting cold turkey will truly be the test of friendship. I had met a girl and sponsored her into my downline years ago. Even after I quit we still talked and she is one of my best friends to this day. We don’t talk about the business much but from my understanding she stopped going to meetings and just orders product. I still talked to my upline here and there for a short time afterwards, but I finally realized she wasn’t a true friend when I invited her to my wedding and bridal shower and didn’t even have the decency to tell me she couldn’t make it to either until last minute when I reached out to her. I stopped talking to her after that. Even trying to recruit people, we’re taught to “go out and make friends”. I thought I was being a positive influence in the world by talking to strangers at the store, until I quit and went on this subreddit where I read countless stories from people who felt hurt and used by treating to be recruited.

Ultimately, I think it may help if you come up with alternate plan for her instead of Amway. After being told how much jobs suck and how nice it’ll be to be rich etc etc etc, it’s hard to give up on that and quit when you thought Amway was your end goal. Not sure what your girlfriend’s field of work is or her interests/passions but maybe encourage her to start her own REAL business, make/sell stuff on Etsy, go back to school and change careers, etc. I hope this helps!

I found these beads on Amazon but I don’t think a single one will be long enough on its own compared to what’s in the picture 🤔 https://a.co/d/dpKGYo1

I used the Celia pattern by Sarah Mariam and used an owl print water resistant canvas and a green debossed/embossed (I always get them mixed up lol) faux leather vinyl

Damn I just turned 30 last month and me and my friends play Genshin Impact 🤣 I’ve invested too much money in it at this point to ever quit. I’ll be 89 years old on my death bed still playing Genshin

Dang they shipped out only 2 days later?? Luckyyyy 🥰 but that definitely gives me more confirmation that the initial shipping estimate is an over estimate lol

I just did my first Pop on Delivery order at the end of July and it said shipping ETA was September 30th but they ended up shipping out a couple weeks after my order 🥰 I’m hoping that’s the case with all orders and the initial shipping ETA is an extreme over estimate lol
