Clearly she needs some help if she doesn’t understand why she needs to quit this guy.

The biggest takeaway from this thread is the rich woman who needs to dumb her even-richer douche bag BF.

I know couples who have this dynamic, and it is not good. It got really bad when kids came into the picture and the once "cute" ribbing between them became very real parenting expectations.

I can ride a horse well, sail, pilot a plane (though haven’t in years), play tennis & squash, whip up a soufflé, speak 2 languages fluently in addition to English, set up a campsite, appraise art, navigate my way through any place and plan a dinner party to perfection.

Ugh, no.

Sure they were. People always say this and it's so tone-deaf.

Not if it’s true. Our housekeeper lived with my parents when she retired, they nursed her and even hired full time care for her when she needed it. I consider her a second grandmother (one of my grandmothers was dead before I was born).
Our gardener wanted to move back to Mexico after he had a family. My parents gave him enough money to buy property and build a house. He now runs a successful b&b and has visited us many times. His children both went to college; one is now a teacher and the other in medical school.

Confidence and manners.

There are different levels of wealth but on the whole people who grew up with money and have money their entire lives have a level of confidence they carry with them everywhere.

I grew up comfortably UMC and went to a nice private day school but when I went to college and became acquainted with a number of genuinely wealthy classmates, they exhibited a confidence that was unmistakable. If you've never had doubts related to money or social position even in this weirdly classless dynamic that is the United States, it does affect your worldview and how you relate to the world around you.

Sorry, I don’t believe you. Your parents were so busy, successful, and important that they did not have the time to wipe your butt when you were a a baby, but they “nursed” the faithful old retainer in her dotage? GMAFB.

DP. Of course they didn't do that, but they paid someone else to. Becoming a lifelong employee to a very wealthy family is a good gig. If you don't understand that, well...says something

This isn't the indicator for "rich" you think it is. Affluent maybe, but it's pretty standard for people with decent-paying jobs and dental insurance to take care of their kids' teeth. Orthodontics are much more accessible than they used to be and are even prioritized by people who can't really afford it because of the class assumptions made of crooked teeth and decay. I grew up comfortably middle class and even then most of my friends had braces at some point.
