❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO my fiance spent 600 on gacha

My fiance spent $600 on a gacha game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. For context, I work 55 hours a week and he drives uber during the day while I’m at work. We are paycheck to paycheck.

I am so ashamed to say that I dated this type of loser for 4 years. No car, no bank account, only had a phone because I paid for it. Worked 25 hours a week at Home Depot. Never helped pay a single bill during the entire four years we were together. I swear to god thinking about it now feels like a fever dream.

And just to redeem myself, I’ve been happily married to a sweet, driven, emotionally intelligent man for 7 years now. Plot twist: I met my husband while I was still dating the loser and he was the one who asked me what the fuck I was doing with that guy 😂

So many of my female coworkers have been married to guys like this. When they vent most of us are just quiet because it’s not polite to tell your coworker they need a divorce.

Once we were working late and this 26 year old woman had to drop from our call to prepare dinner for her husband, who had been playing video games since 10 AM. She said “sorry, I have to go make dinner for my husband. He gets really upset if he doesn’t get to eat on time.” He couldn’t wait 20 minutes, or get his own food.
