I don't know where my boyfriend gets his money from??

[mummytotwo2]

Hi, i have been seeing a guy i met from instagram for 3 months now, everything has been great with this guy we became like best friends in an instant. He has met my kids and I've met his. He was friends with my sister but we had never met before until we started talking on IG. (he added me on there as he had my sister on there already)

One thing i'm curious about with him is that he NEVER goes into any detail about his life/background and he doesn't have a job but always seem to have money to take me out. He buys me gifts out of the blue sometimes if he's passing a shop where he sees something i'd mentioned i like but can't afford he just buys it me and gives it to me next time i see him. He bought my eldest daughter a new coat for school, he is always buying himself new things too, the other day he had two new tattoos done and i know they weren't cheap i asked him how much he paid for the latest big piece he had done he just said "does it matter".

all he says to me is that he's looking for a job but needs to be motivated to do a job otherwise he gets bored too quickly. Anything around money/income/job he just sort of brushes it off and laughs, like i went to pay for a cab we took into town last week and he said it doesn't matter he will pay and then i jokingly said to him "Oh you're loaded aren't you so it doesn't matter" but again he just laughs and says something like "well it's better to have money than not isn't it"

He very rarely tells me anything about his family outside of his children. He always keeps saying how life is stressful and how he gets depressed but i can't help him much because i just can't see what he is depressed about! he won't open up at all.

the reason i am interested about this is because i have basically opened up to him about every single personal and private thing i have been through and he's been so understanding and supportive and has never judged me for any of it, yet he himself hardly tells me anything about his life or about his current circumstances (plans for the future, etc)

am i just being overly nosey here or is it normal for a man to be this reserved about himself?

Just found this thread and am crying with laughter, especially at Spunkle Wentworth.

My money is on this man being a gigolo. I'm right aren't I? 😂😂😂😂😂

Youall. No it wasn't because of that. It was a number of other things that were mentioned in various posts. Not got time to list it all.

OP?? What's the latest? I was enjoying this thread.

How are you getting on, OP?

I'm resurrecting this thread one year on! Sue me ;)

How did i miss this gem last year? Got directed to it from the weird thread thread...I have just wasted quite a bit of my afternoon. I almost wish the OP would return...

To anyone who starts reading today. The OP doesn't return. You are left in suspense about his drug dealing income

Dying to know how this all panned out

I’m only one page twelve but I honestly cannot wait until I have read the whole thing to say this. Seriously op open your eyes. I have known two people in my life like this. One through my partner and one I seemed overly impressed by. I learned to see through it from my friend supporting but telling me straight how he is. Once I started really looking at him and myself and seeing how dragged down I had become and how full of shit he actually was, I will now look back with such embarrassment. Some of the weird shit I just accepted because he looked ok and I was shocked he went with someone like me, was bafflingly strange. The other guy I met through my partner and saw through his bullshit instantly. I even said to my partner after meeting him how odd he is. My partner straight up said he knows and everyone thinks he is a bit of a dick so don’t tolerate it or take any of it in really. This guy is weird and has some mental health issues by the sounds of it. I like a conspiracy but to get so deep into it and fully act on believing them to be true is a bit out there. It’s certainly not normal. Get yourself and your kids away and move on. Just start asking more question and stop being wowed by big words that are more than likely being used incorrectly.

Now I’ve read it all you seem like an idiot. How can you be so questioning of his actions yet in the same breath deny things are odd? I hope for your kids sake this works out somehow.

Morning, everyone.

We've had an awful lot of reports about this thread - we're going to lock it while we have a chat with the OP.
