    No, I actually loved her at first. Then it turned out she only ever wanted me for money. Said she’d kill herself if I didn’t buy her things, threatened to divorce when we had disagreements, etc.

    We had 50 baby strollers in less than 2 years. She had over 20 expensive jackets and coats in one winter, etc.

    In the end it became kind of an inside joke how much cheaper a prostitute would be. Prostitute would probably have more feelings too. My ex doesn’t actually see other people as human, but rather tools to survive.

    I now drive a rusty old car. If I meet someone, they won’t think I have money. It’s better that way. Anyone can fake being a nice person at first. But if I don’t give them reason to do it, I’m hoping they won’t.

      Sad to hear that. I hope you meet someone better in the future

        Heh, so far it’s mostly been downhill i.e my first ever girlfriend was actually an amazing person and then the next few serious relationships have been… mistakes.

        But at least I know a bunch of signs to watch out for now.
