Poor

[enthusiasmcurbed]

Just that, I've been dumped for being poor. Life has been really tough these last few years but my BF of the last 6 years has decided I am now too destitute and pathetic to be with. But hey fuck him and I will rise!!

Blimey! What a tosser. You're better off without him.

Those were his exact words?

WTAF?!?!

Absolute PRICK! I can't believe that.

Apparently I want him to pay for everything, even though I always offered to pay my own way.

Better off out of it love but I think you know that.

Thank God he's gone. Don't waste your time thinking about it. Time for you to arrange a girls night in.

And the stupid thing is, I have a house to sell. But he wants someone who has a great job ( like I used to have ) and is totally independant. As in never needs any help from him.

Lucky escape

You weren't dumped because you're poor. You were dumped because he's a twat.

Here's to your new life without him

The last straw was when he went off on a boys day out, didn't tell me when he was coming home. Time went on, he has a dog, I thought at 6pm, time to take dog out for a walk. Took dog out, (dog was very excited as he always is when I take him out ). Got back to EXBF house, EXBF was back. I got bollocked for getting dog over excited! End of.

What a shame the dog can't dump him and decide to live with you.

Annie he loves the dog more than anyone else.

He sounds like a wanker. I bet you won't even think about him when you find someone who couldn't give a damn whether you're rich or poor! In the meantime:

Well, as I'm on the wrong side of 50 I'm not holding out much hope. At my age, the good ones are taken and the twats remain.

Excuse me, the experienced side of 50 is the right side.

Annie

You are not wealthy until you have something money cannot buy. You have that in abundance....integrity, confidence, sanity (and a house to sell). Leave him to it....what professional woman is going to want a twat like him?!

Honestly you are well rid!!

50? Thats young.!!! You will meet someone when the times right.
Celebrate your freedom from your hideous sounding ex!

Thank you so much everyone. The thing is, when you don't know him. he is a handsome.funny guy. Some poor bugger is going to find out the hard way.

It's hardly fair that cigarettes and alcohol get big warning labels and guys like this get to walk around free.

I like that dreaming

Er, my friend 65 (and a bit more ) had to declare bankruptcy and wind up her business two years ago due to her knobjockey cocklodger who had somehow inveigled himself into all areas of her life, including her home, very quickly and proceeded to con her out of almost everything she had. Not her home thank goodness. Once she had no money and no business he dumped her and buggered off.

Not quite a year ago, she met a really nice man, a doctor. They are very happy together, though not living together as he is a genuine and sensible bloke, and she's been bitten and has learnt her lesson, so they're not rushing, but they see each other a lot and spend most w/es together.

No nice men out there? Rubbish!

Jux . I now live in hope.

Being poor can affect your self-esteem badly -- not your fault, but a consequence of living in an economic system that regards people as financial units.

You don't need bell-ends like this bloke making you feel worse. Count yourself lucky that he didn't grace you with his questionable presence any longer than he did.

Good luck with finding a man who loves you for who you are, not what you earn. They do exist.
