We love a man who supports a significant other in all of her endeavors. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP shared the love story of her best friend and her now ex. When the best friend met her ex, she was working in retail, but he convinced her to go for her dream of becoming a lawyer, and even took on loans and extra shifts at his job to support her dream. When she finally got her degree, she ended up dumping him because she felt that as a new professional, she deserved a 'real man' who made more than her, and not someone considered working class. First of all, ew. Second of all, EW. The Redditors are not having this gross behavior. Scroll down for all the details of the breakup.

    We call our besties a-holes all the time, but we don't actually mean it. Let's see if what this woman did is enough to be considered an a-hole.

    Font - My best friend and I grew up in poverty. We had not much opportunities for an education. For young women in our area, our options were retail, drug dealing, prostitution, or hoping a rich guy would notice us. For guys it was retail, drug dealing, or finding one of the few factory jobs remaining.

    Font - My friend tried that option but was not as lucky. She was working min wage retail at age 25. While doing so she got friendly with a factory worker (M30) who came by regularly and they started dating. He knew he was not the academic type, school was not for him. But he also saw potential in my

He took out whatever loan he could find so that she could get an education. He supported her through and through, did the house work, worked extra shifts, everything so she could get an education.

She said that as a professional, she had no interest being married to a working class Man and that she "deserves" a "real man". I was horrified and told

    Font - partnership is a patriarchal construct, that she has the right to date whomever she wants, and that as a feminist I should be supporting her. I told her that she is not only a major asshole, she is giving feminists a bad name because feminism means women financially supporting their male partners as much as in the reverse.

    Font - KittenIsMuffin · 20 hr. ago O 8 & 10 More Partassipant [1] NTA - She used him. This has nothing to do with feminism. She took his love, his graciousnes... and led him to believe they had a future together, while bleeding him dry. She is a vampire. She does not have the requisite morality to be considered for your friendship, because you're a good person. She is not.

    Human body - PhilosophicalEeyore1 · 13 hr. ago If she were a real feminist she would at least pay back all the money he spent on her schooling. Too bad her ex can't sue her for the money back. OP is NTA.

    Font - IAMA_LongHorse · 11 hr. ago I was so disgusted by the whole post that I totally didn't catch the contradiction there. And to get mad at her friend for not being a feminist. Wow, that's some hypоcrisy.

    Font - TailorVegetable4705 · 18 hr. ago NTA. I'm much happier being married to a (retired) laborer who did 40 years laying rail on the high plains, than I was to my rich but cheating bastard of a first husband. I found out that I enjoy hanging out with these blue collar workers than I was going to glitzy functions and being ignored. I'm highly educated, holding three degrees, and never am I disappointed with the conversation among my new people.
