My girlfriend is in her 30s and we both are working, I am in the financial industry and she is working in the logistics industry.
I make about 3 times as much salary as my girlfriend and I kind of spoiled her and we often eat at restaurants, we have been together 6 years and she recently asked me if I can give her a supplementary credit card.
I hesitated but I decided to give her one, I set the limit to $2,000 and I think at most she also spends $1K a month.
She often tells me that she is stressed and needs to go out to drink, I don’t really drink so I told her to go enjoy herself with her friends.
She goes out for a drink every week and most of the time I’m not there, so at month end I was checking the statements and noticed a weird item of $500 on her supp credit card.
The item was listed as a “miscellaneous item” $500 at some “Entertainment” company. I decided to Google search for the company’s name and it turned out to be a disco at Cuppage Plaza.
I did not think much about it and a month later, the same item but this time with 3 of them. ($300, $500, $500).
The item always appears at the last weekend of the month (Meaning she used it when she runs out of money) and I started to get suspicious. I asked a few of my friends who drink a lot and they told me that it is most likely that my girlfriend has been using my credit card to hang flower at a men’s club.
Initially, I did not know what is a “mens club” but later got furious and exploded in anger after my friends explained it to me.
I confronted my girlfriend and she outright denied it and said that it was her friends who used the card and returned her the money later.
I got even angrier, as it means she was making her friends spend money and “earning” money from the credit card balance. While spending money on other men and enjoying herself.
I eventually hang up the phone and I decided to make her “pai sei”, I acted nice for a few more weeks and I knew that it is time when she will go there again.
I called the bank and cancelled her card.
And I was right! She called me in the middle of the night and said that she can’t pay the bills as the credit card was declined and told me to paynow her.
I told her “serves you right, bye-bye forever” and hang up the phone.
