Money Matters: Man Refuses To Disclose How Much He Earns To Girlfriend
Finances between couples in the early days can always be kind of awkward. This particular situation however raised some alarm bells in OP's head when her boyfriend of a year refused to tell her how much he makes.
Now this wouldn't have been such a red flag had he not asked her the same question first only to refuse to answer it himself.
She respected his lack of answer but couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
She wondered why he wouldn't say when he had been unemployed when he met.
She added further context in a comment that her boyfriend had a habit of asking questions and then refusing to answer them himself.
In an update that blindsided all of us, she revealed that her boyfriend had been stealing from her and the relationship met an untimely and sudden end.
Before the update, commenters were just as thrown by his behavior as she was. They speculated that a large difference in their pay scales could have led to this reaction.
Others recommended she stop paying for dates and watch his behavior to see if anything changes.
Others even tried calling out OP.
Ultimately, they were all just as shocked as we were.
