[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your ages? Are you a lot older than your GF?[/quote]

OP here. I am 35 and and she's 24.[/quote]

Oh wow I am dying laughing at this.  You need to date someone closer to your own age or realize that you don't bring that much to the table for a 24 year old.  Why did you think she was with you?[/quote]

I guess the gold diggers are out in force defending their kind... :roll: [/quote]

$90k isn't gold-digger territory.  And OP has dated this girl for 3 years and never said she asking for money before.  She was in a financial bind and asked for help, he didn't want to (or have to -- certainly his choice!) give it.  But someone who won't help you out after 3 years together doesn't think highly of you, and she got the message.  As a 35 y/o making 5 figures in DC, OP definitely outkicked his coverage dating a 24 y/o grad student if she was even halfway attractive, and he apparently didn't realize that. [b] It is hilarious, regardless of how strongly you identify with him.

:roll: Yeah, it is hilarious, given how 1) I'm not a man and 2) I don't date women, or gold diggers.  It's actually more hilarious how you seem to identify so strongly to OP's ex given that she wants someone else to pay her CC payments.  Mooch much yourself?

If this was a boyfriend who made $24k vs. my $90k, wanted me to *make monthly payments on CC debt he picked up* and subsequently *broke up with me* when I said I'd think about it, then yeah, I'd say I dodged a freakin' bullet.  Reversing the genders make no difference to me as it obviously does for you, which says way more about you.[/quote]

Your assumptions are off -- I said very early in the thread that when there's a big income discrepancy either the couple lives to the broke one's standards or the rich one treats.  He was making her pay for airfare to take trips she couldn't afford and now he's single.  [b]They didn't have to travel, they could have dated a lot more cheaply -- that's what I did when I met my DH!  [/b]But you think that your internalized misogyny makes you a neutral arbiter -- except in your world a grad student in CC debt asking the boyfriend of three years who's been breaking her bank account to help her with minimums until her next stipend is a "mooch" and a "gold digger"?  Mkay.  [/quote]

That's not why they broke up.  For all you know she wanted to travel and have OP pay for everything but the plane tickets.  Now you're just making crap up.

Also, saying that women should pay for their own credit card debt and not expect a man to swoop in a save her makes me a misogynist now?   Take a hike!  :lol: [/quote]
