Dating a man who earns a lot of money. I don’t want to say too much as it would be outing, but I know for a fact he earns a lot and he’s not lying about it. For starters I work in the same industry, but I’ve also seen his bank statement (accidentally I might add) and various other things here and there. He’s loaded, basically.
I earn a decent amount and although I can’t do what i want all the time immediately, I can pretty much plan ahead and live my life how I want. What I mean by this is that there’s nothing in his money that impresses me or makes me think more of him!!
Every so often he will throw into conversation how much he has earned that day (it can vary). The recent example is ‘I basically sat around until 5pm today and made x amount!’
I pulled him up on it and said I really didn’t need to know what he had earned in a day. He then said he understood where I was coming from, but it wasn’t that much money anyway so it’s not a big deal... the amount he had quoted he knows is around what I earn in a month.
I think he’s a dick based on the above. Am I being unfair, was it an innocent comment?
When I pulled him up he did say he only felt comfortable talking about things like that with me and wouldn’t to other people. He also said he doesn’t have flashy clothes or a flashy house (that’s more or less true), however he has been known to make quite crass comments about money such as ‘how can x not even afford a car’ - about my friend who was unemployed at the time.
