37-Year-Old Aspiring Twitch Streamer Calls Fiancé ‘Selfish’ for Refusing to Buy Pricey Gaming Laptop
We should all be supportive of our partners' career choices…within reason. When u/Content_Profession63's fiancé quit his job to become a professional Twitch streamer, she encouraged him to follow his passion and even agreed to financially support the both of them with her online business. Seven months later, OP's fiancé was doing plenty of gaming, but still hadn't even gotten around to creating a Twitch account. OP's tolerance for BS finally waned when her fiancé asked her for an expensive gaming laptop for his birthday. Keep scrolling for the whole infuriating story.

"Yeah, I was wondering what he brings to the relationship other than entitlement and laziness. OP, NTA. He's taking advantage of you." said u/Craftyallthetime.
"Yea somehow running an online business that provides for the both of them isn't a real job, but starting a gaming career when you're pushing forty is totally viable" replied u/bumjiggy.
"NTA." said u/stinstin555, "But curious as to why you are referring to him as your fiancée and not your ex. It felt off because it is. He showed you exactly who he is. Please believe him and move on. And instead of him worry about what's in your pockets he needs to be worried about the fact that nothing is in his. A partner makes deposits not constant withdrawals. Cut the cord." -

"He's not even trying to be a professional gamer. If he doesn't have a streaming account all he's doing is just….gaming. He's being a professional slob." said u/FightMeCthullu.
"He's being a leech, is what he's being. Why do smart women buy this shit? I'll never understand. Pull your weight, or GTFO. I'm not your mother/ATM." said u/greyburmesecat.
"Sunk costs. They're engaged and sounds like they were before he moved in. Even smart people get taken advantage of, and many people get stuck on fixing things that can't be fixed, because they're so far into it and don't want to throw it away, failing to see the other person already has." said u/ghostofumich2005. -

"I'm of the opinion that streaming should start as a hobby, and if you see a promising growth in your views then you figure out finances so you can try. At least keep a part time job while you still have a small following" said u/BirdiesGrimm.
