My Girlfriend Is Spoiled, and I’m Paying the Price
I recently learned the hard way that my girlfriend is spoiled. We had been talking about taking a trip together for months, and I was looking forward to it.
She said she was too, but then she made a stipulation that threw a wrench in my plans. She said she’d only go if I booked flights on Singapore Air Lines, a no-budget airline.
I was taken aback by her request. I had planned on booking the cheapest flight I could find, but she wanted me to go with SIA, which is known for its high prices. I didn’t want to spend the extra money, but I also didn’t want to miss out on the trip. So, reluctantly, I agreed to book the more expensive flights.
I should have known that this wasn’t going to be the end of it. After I booked the flights, she started making more and more demands. She wanted me to book a room at a five-star hotel, pay for her meals, and buy her expensive gifts.
I was starting to feel like she was taking advantage of me, and I was getting frustrated.
I tried to talk to her about it, but she didn’t seem to understand my point of view. She insisted that she deserved the best of everything and that I had to provide it. I told her that I couldn’t afford all of the things she was asking for, but she didn’t seem to care. She just kept asking for more.
The trip was a disaster. We spent the whole time arguing about money, and I ended up having to pay for most of the expenses. I was angry and resentful, and I couldn’t wait to get back home. I was so relieved when it was finally over.
When I got back home, I was determined to break up with her. I had had enough of her spoiled attitude and I was done with her taking advantage of me. But then, she started to cry and begged me to stay with her. I couldn’t bear to see her so upset, so I reluctantly agreed.
But that was a mistake. Since then, she has continued to make unreasonable demands and expect me to pay for everything. I’m at my wit’s end, and I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to leave her, but I can’t keep up with her demands either.
