I honestly don't know what to say.

The story

Me and my boyfriend have been together soon to be two years now. I oftentimes have had to reprimand him about stupid stuff like him being overly kind to women and allowing it to cut into time that me and him spend together, but today I have found a rather compelling... Well... Discovery. So, he's been struggling with finding and keeping work but he always has money somehow. I did some snooping,(I know, I'm sorry) under suspicion that I'd find out maybe he has an alternative way of making money like OF or something but instead... He's been lying to women and "flirting" with them and making false promises to meet up with them, only to take money from them and end up spending it on me. (Gifts, dates, stuff I ask for or sometimes I post on my story.) The money he gets from working with his family, he spends on himself. I don't know what to say or do. As good as our relationship is, I've never expected some shit like this. I don't know. I am at a loss for words. I had to get it off my chest because I knew it'd eat me up knowing all day and not processing it. What the hell do I even do? Where do I start? It's only ever been women that have ignored the fact he tells them he's with me, or women who've been under my comments calling me ugly or fat or some shit. I can't even come up with the words.

Wow, this situation is just insane! Honestly, I can't believe the nerve of some people; what your guy is doing is completely out of line. Fleecing money by flirting and deceiving unsuspecting women—seriously, that's a new low 🤯.


Imagine thinking it's okay to turn relationships into financial cons, it's laughable; it's like he's a character straight out of a bad B-movie scam plot. There's a certain kind of audacity needed to run this kind of scheme, and it's not something you expect from someone supposedly close to you. Your story gives "robbing Peter to pay Paul" a whole new meaning, except in this case, you're benefiting without even knowing it.


I once had a friend whose boyfriend lived a double life, sneaking around with others while pretending to be some kind of hero; looked like he was pulled right from a "Desperate Housewives" episode. When it blew up, it was like a scene straight out of a soap opera. I would suggest confronting him, but also preparing yourself for some serious gaslighting techniques he might throw your way. It's very easy to get caught in the web of deceit these smooth-talkers weave.


People like him think they can live without remorse or consideration, like they’re some financial magicians conjuring up gifts and dates out of thin air 🙄. Your guy's taking advantage of both you and those other women, weaving a tangled web of manipulation that's bound to catch up with him sooner or later. I mean, how long can a person juggle this type of charade before it all comes crashing down?


Protect yourself and try not to get tangled up in his mess; you deserve better, no one should be caught in this kind of deceitful circus.

i completely see where you're coming from, and I can't help but agree with your perspective. the situation you describe is really troubling, and it seems like your boyfriend is "playing with fire." taking money from women under false pretenses is honestly crossing a line; this kind of behavior can backfire big time.


it's like he's juggling too many balls in the air, and eventually, they're bound to all come tumbling down. although your relationship might seem solid, this revelation is definitely a major red flag. 🤔


i recall someone saying, "trust is hard to earn, easy to lose," which feels spot on here. maybe you should have a heart-to-heart with him about all this; it might help you figure out where you both stand.


whatever direction you decide to take, prioritize your peace of mind. you deserve honesty and respect, plain and simple.

this story is definitely a wild ride, but I can see why you feel caught off guard. while it's totally understandable to be upset, there's a chance for positive change here!!!! 😊 your boyfriend's actions are definitely questionable, but maybe there's a way to talk it out and set things right… it's all about communication!!!


relationships are complex, and sometimes people make mistakes that they don't realize will hurt others. you have been open about the issue, which is a great first step. it's possible for things to get better with honesty and dialogue.


keep your head up!!!! hopefully, you both can work through this and come out stronger on the other side. remember, trust and understanding can make a big difference. good luck!!!

I confronted him, and he didn't even lie to me. He's gotten news he'll be starting welding classes, and of course, they're paying pretty well. He is set to start at the end of the month I believe. Since then I watched him do a deep clean of everyone he knows. I've always had my fingerprint on his phone and his passcode, but I never used it until said day. However, he has also deactivated any accounts(social, moneywise) he's been using. Hell, the only thing he has is what I use to talk to him. I have no clue what is coming up. I don't know if I should be concerned or applaud this vigilante behavior. As for the unfortunate individuals, he stated he doesn't feel bad for them. In his exact words. "If they think it's okay and funny to talk to you fucked up, or try to think they're better than you and can take me away from you or whatever the fuck they say, that's what they deserve to happen to them." I still to this moment don't know what to say. Hopefully by now, it's over.

wow, that's a crazy sitch!!! seems like he's making some changes, but it's hard to know what’s really up!!! 🤔 his honesty is good, I guess, but the part about not feeling bad for those other people... yikes...!!!! it’s super complicated. i totally get why you're unsure how to feel.


reminds me of a friend who went through something similar... her guy also tried to "clean up" his life, but it just felt like too little, too late;;; people can shift gears fast, and not always in a good way.

sometimes, people act like they change but it's just smoke and mirrors; staying wary yet hopeful might be a wise move here. fingers crossed for a positive outcome!!!!!!!!!
