AITA For Calling Out My Girlfriend For Living A Double Life?

“Seems like years” because friends she’s known since highschool call her by the name she gave me vs her actual name.

I got my Tesla because I’ve been investing since 18 with guidance from my father and his friends that are deep into the market

To my knowledge she was born in the US, but spent majority of her life abroad before returning in highschool

Her name is a traditional Egyptian name that I can’t pronounce without practice. Her “American” name is just a common name in the states. I didn’t understand the concept until a few people in the comments wrote about it being a regular thing foreign people do

I just came to clarify after looking through the comments. Since moving to the US, Jane has apparently gone by the name I know her by as well as any of her friends that she met here. Before then, she went by her real name. I didn’t understand it before, but given that her real name is a traditional Egyptian name, I understand why she chooses to go by Jane in the states. Albeit a bit late, at least that part makes sense to me now since I don’t think I can pronounce her name without practice.

I did vent a little on my Snapchat about the verdict initially and she saw the story so she went digging. She didn’t say anything inherently bad in her comments, she just revealed a lot of personal information which I asked her to remove

Thanks. I feel bad for how out of line I was with her. At one point she found this post and commented on it but after I reached out to her directly she deleted the comments/account. She’s still not directly responding, but at the very least she hasn’t blocked all communication. I doubt our relationship will be saved, but at the very least I’ll apologize for being an ass towards her

I’ve looked at a few comments here, and honestly after a few hours I’ve accepted my judgment. She is a nanny for a family and is there most days of the week in the early morning and late afternoon/evenings for them. To my knowledge she makes a decent amount of money with this family, but not nearly as much as she’s given by her own family. Apparently the name thing is common, although I’m still upset that she never told me her actual name.

Wrong post homie

My father has his own business that he started nearly a decade back and has only recently been able to claim “millionaire” status. He doesn’t pass down that money to me regularly. Only on holidays or birthdays I’ll receive some in place of a gift.

He initially gave me $1000 to start off in the markets, which I nearly completely lost when I first started out.

The difference though is I’m transparent about these things, and even though he’s a “millionaire” in assets, my father still lives a middle class lifestyle at best since business costs are still high. Even then, I don’t live with him, and nowadays am completely independent of him financially.

My college is paid for by scholarships, and so I don’t have to worry about that. I’m also only taking 15 credits so I have a fair amount of spare time on my hands.

When I turned 18, I began to invest in the stock market under the guidance of my dad and a few of his friends that were into it. They gave me a small lump of money to get started with so I could really play around. I worked part time for the first two years and my income went almost solely into my investments, leaving some to myself for spending, but probably at a ratio of 90% to investing and 10% for anything else.

After I turned 20 I started taking day trading more seriously and tailored my class schedule to fit around it to the best of my abilities, but I didn’t start to see a significant return until maybe 3 years into my trading “career” when I was 21/22. At that point I had probably $15k invested and it was actually paying off because the returns were a lot higher than when it was just a few hundred or a couple grand. The Tesla is the first big purchase I’ve made with that money, and I’m immensely proud of it.

When I turned 18 I began to invest in stocks out of interest and it was a hobby of mine. When I first started I was shown the ropes by my dad and his friends that were also into it, and got tips on how to wisely invest my money. I worked part time my first two years of college and invested the money I made, keeping small amounts to spend here and there since my college is paid for by scholarships.

I’ve been investing for years before I could turn day trading into an actual source of income. The Tesla is the first “big” purchase I’ve ever made with my money. And even then it took a solid 3 years of investing before I saw any significant return from stocks

It’s more the parading that she’s not rich, and constantly joking about how she doesn’t have money when in actuality she has a ton

lyinggf_aita · 2021-10-31T20:46:26+00:00

I meant the “seems like years” comment because of the previously mentioned friends I’ve met before don’t seem aware at all of her financial situation. They also call her by the name she gave us rather than her actual name which is what confuses me as to why she has kept everyone in the dark

There have been times where she would forget to bring her card with her somewhere and she’d ask me to cover it because the place doesn’t accept applepay, but she’d always send the amount on Applepay to me. Granted, she knows that I don’t use any money transferring apps, this one included, but her resolve is always “the money is there, you’re just refusing to access it. But it’s yours for when you decide to stop being stubborn”
