I’m so tired of people trying to date me now that I’m successful and married
So, to start, I used to be a fat lady. School was hard – a lot of people would keep me around as an option, and some even had pretty strong feelings for me, but wouldn’t date me because I was chubby and they wanted someone more attractive. That’s fair and they’re entitled to their dating preferences, I don’t resent them for that.
What I do resent is all of these people that rejected me back then coming out of the woodwork now, a decade later.
I’ve been successful in life – I have a great job where I get to travel the world, I’m married to the most incredible person I’ve ever met, and we’re deeply in love!
We have a good life, zero debt, wonderful pets and amazing adventures. We’re not rich, but we’re not living paycheck to paycheck.
My partner is truly my soul mate – we are a team and we support each other in our personal and professional goals.
Every. single. person. that rejected me has slid into my DMs or called me, saying “I should’ve dated you when I had the chance!”
One called me the night before my wedding, asking me to cancel it. A couple have asked me to get a divorce or cheat on my partner to be with them.
One guy semi regularly gets drunk and DMs me from fake accounts, asking me to “remember the night we spent together!” as though an evening of lackluster f-ing would make me leave my spouse. How dare they?
To be clear, no one has to date me if they don’t want to. That’s ok. But do these people truly think they’re God’s gift to the point where a lady that had a crush on them over a decade ago would blow up her life just for a chance to get with them? There’s also this weird undercurrent of them wanting my financial support now that I’m succeeding.
F that. Who do these people think they are? Do they honestly, truly think I’d leave my spouse just for the chance to date (and bankroll) them?
