Entitled Rich Boyfriend Insists That His Girlfriend Move In for Free, Then Changes His Mind and Makes Her Pay $2.5K in Rent

Just when you thought finance bros couldn't get any worse, they do. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/idiotrichboyfriend, an apt username for this little anecdote.

 

This entitled rich boy wanted his girlfriend to move in with him after her last place had a roach infestation. When she proposed that they move into a different neighborhood - one that she could afford - he insisted that there was no need. She moved into his luxury condo, and the agreement was that he would pay for her portion of the rent while she was finishing her graduate degree in social work.

 

The plot thickens. Clearly, this guy's friends accused the Redditor of being a gold digger because the boyfriend just up and changed his mind, suddenly demanding out of nowhere that his girlfriend pay $2.5K in rent. Seriously? The best twist in this story is that the original poster knew a line had been crossed and she got out of this situation as swiftly as she could. A round of applause to her!

    Font - AITA for moving out because I don't want to help my bf out with the rent? My boyfriend (26M) and I(24F) have been together for 3 years. We live in NYC and he makes over $200k/year, while I'm studying for my masters in social work and have no income. Right now I'm doing an unpaid, yearlong internship 3 days/week, as well as classes 2 days/week. It's rare to get a paid internship in social work, plus internships are mandatory. I spend 12 hours everyday either working, studying, commuting, o

    Font - Before I moved in with my boyfriend there was a roach infestation in my apartment so I'd stay over at his place a lot. My lease was ending soon so he asked me if I wanted to live with him. At first I joked with him that his living standards would go down since I can't afford a nice place, but he insisted on paying the rent until I finish grad school, then we would split the rent based on income. I originally wanted to live in a cheaper place in Queens or Brooklyn, but my boyfriend likes h

    Font - All of a sudden my boyfriend recently started asking me to pay half the rent ($2.5k/month). I was confused because he was the one who wanted to pay the rent in full. Apparently he was talking to his friends and they all think its weird that I don't pay rent and that I was a gold digger. I let my boyfriend know that I can't afford $2.5k/month and he said I was "leeching" off of him, so I told him that he should find someone within his social class so he doesn't have to worry about a gold d

    Font - I called my mom about my situation and she is willing to help me out but the maximum she can afford for rent is $800. I found some places in Queens within the price range, less than 15 min away from the city and a bus ride away from my school so I went to check them out a couple days ago. I've been texting the landlord and my new roommates and I already signed the lease. I told my boyfriend about my new place and he got upset and asked me to stay. He said that he was willing to accept $80

    Font - He lived in this condo alone for several years so it's not like he can't afford to live there without my help. I wouldn't mind splitting rent with him, but I would have to live in a more affordable place outside of Manhattan like I originally wanted. Apparently some of our "mutual friends" think I'm being unreasonable for moving out instead of talking to him and staying by paying the amount I can afford in rent, and that I shouldn't have let him pay my portion of the rent.

    Font - update: yes i did dump him. i blocked him and his idiot friends on everything. My friends also blocked him since he tried to contact me through them. I'm going to enjoy being single and never relying on a man financially ever again.

Oops since I'm top comment I spose I'm gonna actually add an opinion: It is refreshing to see someone just up and say 'Nope, that aint gonna work' and then promptly exit the crappy situation and take care of things. The audacity to suddenly demand a cool $2.5k, after you had an agreement, knowing you had previously suggested moving somewhere affordable and he insisted, because his fr

    Font - OrindaSarnia - 11 hr. ago Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how someone as stupid as the boyfriend has a job that pays $200k! I hear those numbers and NYC, and presume he works in finance... but how could you work in finance and expect someone who's funding their life on loans to pay $2.5k/month in rent? If OP had agreed to that SHE would be stupid. Not to mention the bait and switch is just ridiculous! 900 Reply Share

    Font - o Azrou 10 hr. ago People can be brilliant at their jobs and completely lack common sense. Plus, investment banking culture is incredibly toxic, and there's massive pressure to fit in and impress your peers and superiors. These guys (and they're mostly guys) live in fear of being "taken advantage of" and it may just take one comment on how great she has it to live for free in a luxury condo for the bf to lose perspective. 310 Reply

    Font - No_Performance8733. 5 hr. ago Finance bros live in fear of being taken advantage of because they know deep down their industry is predatory. The only way to "win" in the finance industry is to take advantage of everyone, but especially regular people working the meaningful lower paid jobs that keep the economy chugging along. A finance bro's job is to strip the economy (regular people) of money. No wonder the bait and switch. It's what he's been taught to do. 175 Reply
