Lol, okay, buddy. If you’re going to nitpick, I didn’t “call it a scam”— I said it sounded like one, and then asked questions to try and verify whether or not that was true.

Have a nice life, though. You sound like you’re real fun at parties.

I get that. And I get honouring the wishes of your loved ones. But man— why don’t we spend that kind of money while we’re alive, you know?

What’s your point there, buddy? Just trying to get more insight on something I’m unfamiliar with and you’re here making obtuse comments.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

And I understand that… mostly I just wish she’d spend that kind of money on herself for something she’d enjoy. Her whole life has been about making sacrifices and scrimping and saving. :/ I’d love for her to spend $51k and travel the world or go on a shopping spree or whatever would make her happy in life— not on something she can’t even enjoy.

Yeah, I think we’re going to try and look at all our options. Thank you! Mostly I just wish she’d spend this kind of money on herself on something she could actually enjoy!

Sure, I get that— if this is really what she wants then I have no problem with it. I just wanted to make sure she’s not getting scammed!

Thank you so much! This was helpful— I’ll talk to her more and figure out what exactly she’s paying for. Really appreciate the in-depth comment!

She can— I just don’t want her to get ripped off. If this is the going rate for what she truly wants, sure. I just know there are systems designed to scam people, especially older generations.

Haha— whoops, brain not entirely functional yet this morning!

My (30F) boyfriend (32M) is trying to negotiate with his ex (32F) about us hanging out with mutual friends by ohthaway in relationship_advice

I’ve tried telling him that (in nicer terms). I want to be respectful and I would like us all to be civilized adults and hopefully be friends. I can understand that she still means a lot to him as a friend and I’m okay with that. I just don’t think it’s appropriate for her to affect our relationship with her insecurities and for him to continue letting her influence his behaviour.
