I broke up with my boyfriend because he was poor, so he couldn’t afford to take me out on dates or give me the things I wanted.
Turns out his family is rich
I’d been with him for a year, and I just wasn’t feeling the connection anymore. So, I decided to break up with him.
Little did I know, my ex-boyfriend’s family owned several durian plantations in Malaysia.
He’d never mentioned it before, so I had no idea. I found out soon enough though, when I saw him out with one of his rich friends, who was bragging about the size of their plantations and how much money they made.
I was so embarrassed that I had broken up with him because I thought he was poor. How wrong I was.
I should’ve known better. I should’ve asked him about his family and their finances before I made such a drastic decision.
Tried to make things right with him
I tried to reach out to my ex-boyfriend, but he was too hurt and angry to even talk to me. I guess he had always known that his family was wealthy and had hidden it from me on purpose to see if I truly loved him.
I understand why he was so hurt, but it still doesn’t make the situation any easier to bear.
I regret breaking up with him and not getting to know him better. I regret assuming that he was something he wasn’t and not taking the time to really get to know him.
I regret all the missed opportunities that would have come with his family’s wealth.
It all happened so fast, and now I’m left feeling empty. I’ve lost my chance at love and the opportunity to experience the life of luxury I had thought was out of reach.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for what I’ve done.
I know that I should’ve thought twice before making such a rash decision, but it’s too late now.
I can’t take it back, and I’m left to live with the consequences of my actions.
