Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
You’d think that a person who puts his family first is a desirable candidate for a serious romantic relationship. However, for Reddit user Throwaway-9873 it was actually the reason why he got into a huge fight with his girlfriend.
In a post on the popular subreddit ‘Am I the [Jerk]?‘, he explained that the woman got mad because he contributes to his sister’s rent and demanded that he help her pay off her student debt instead. I guess it’s true what they say, more money, more problems.
This man was helping out his sister financially while she was earning her Master’s degree

Yep! And the girl needs to learn two things...1. To play the game she was trying to play, you gotta have the goods. No goods, no game. 2. She should get a cat for her many lonely nights.

She had him hooked: free rent, able to get a new BMW, he was putting a ton of money away for "their" house but she got greedy. I am so glad, because if they had bought a house together or worse yet... gotten married, she would have had her hooks in him and hand in his pocket forever.

People like that always escalate until their greed sabotages them. I like the saying: penny wise pound foolish.

Of course, you could see the pattern, she is raised either believing she's above the league of men she's dating or did date men beyond her league in the past. And that caused her to get away with lot's of things. And my guess is that this was enabled by the parents from a very young age on. Now she meets somebody that is in no way dependent on her she still plays this game until the realisation sinks in that actually the guy doesn't need her. She's having the first realisation that she made an error but can't admit to it, so she tries what always worked for her: using her beauty to seduce the man. But the guy is solid and strong in his values so it doesn't work. At that point her program stops working, she never learned to handle such a situation and when it all collapses the Ego takes over and turns sadness and desperation in anger and yeah... that never works out well for the person who tries to look strong when actually being weak.
