I actually pity the last OP. She was repeatedly SA’d as a child, and by her own damn grandfather no less! But no one ever acknowledged it, or even validated to her that what her grandfather was doing to her was SUPER wrong. This led to OP downplaying her own trauma and the actions of her son because in her mind, “I don’t understand why everyone is so upset about this. No one ever made a big fuss about it when it happened to me, so surely it can’t be that big of a deal now and they’re all just overreacting, right?”

It’s actually really sad to see how SA trauma can affect multiple generations even if it’s not intentional. I hope OP can have a sit down with her daughter and explain to her what happened when she was a child, not to excuse her actions but rather to explain why she acted that way. Opening up about that trauma may help mend the relationship.

Story 1: Dating exclusively rich people doesn’t mean you seek out rich people. If for all your life you went to an expensive boarding school went to a posh university ect you’d interact exclusively with rich people and that’s just circumstantial so I’d defend OP on this point cause she could’ve genuinely not thought about it cause that’s just what they’ve been exposed to.
Same kinda vibe if i say lived in the UK and I’ve only dated English people but no Scottish or Welsh. That could be just cause of who I’m exposed to on a daily basis

Story one: do NOT tell future bfs you’re rich. You will only get fake bfs.

I think Rslash doesn’t realize there are tons of reddit YouTube channels and his is the most successful because he has a very structured dialogue, a very pleasant reading speed, his enunciation and intonation is on point, among other things and I really do believe an English degree and MD helped him achieve this very professional and well thought analysis of things he reads online.

1st story: "He told me I was leaving him because he was poor."
In a way, I guess he's not completely wrong. OP is leaving him because of his poor attitude.
And, for the sake of clarity, by "poor attitude" I mean "rude attitude". That's probably obvious but just in case lol.

[RumbleDelta]

Imagine shooting yourself in the foot like that. Dude bagged himself a rich, good natured girl and let his fragile ego ruin it.

[angelbaby]

Story 1: Some of the comments on reddit say she should have told him she was rich. How would she know if he liked her or her money? I'm glad she broke up with him.
Story 3: As their mother, you should be pissed at your son for being a pervert. Your daughter's right. You're the type of mother that says..."Boys will be boys." Damn lady, do better!

[kalifogg]

I’m glad that the last OP saw the depths of her mistake and realized that she was abused as a child and that she’s getting help for both herself and her son.

[AppleSlicesUnite]

For the first story. She wasn't showing her privilege by saying she only dated only rich guys. Imagine it, she grew up in a rich community, and there are only rich boys/ around her, her only option. Now, after her education and only living by her means, of course, she's making less and would have to live in a community of her "new" means. Now, her only opportunity living in that community are lesser paid men.

Rslash is a bit harsh on OP in the first story for the fact she hung out mostly with people in her "social class." She probably went to private school and hung out with the children of her parents' friends before she became an adult, so she can hardly be blamed for whom she socialized during her formative years. Clearly, she's broadening her social circle as an independent adult (as can be seen by the fact that her boyfriend was taken aback by her family's affluence once he was exposed to it). Rich or poor, we tend to believe that what we grew up with is "normal" until we start broadening our horizons.

It shouldn't have mattered to her boyfriend, but he obviously was threatened or insecure in some way over her family's wealth. It was a fairly new relationship, so no big loss on OP's part...she did the right thing by moving on.

FINALLY. AN OLD-TIMER FATHER THAT ACTUALLY ADMITS THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED

[shycherrygirl]

last story: OP thought the friends shouldn't come if they were uncomfortable, but never considered the fact that it made her daughter uncomfortable as well

[trinityriordan]

Story 3 : Alcohol is no excuse to sexually assault someone, a drunk man's action is a sober man's thought. The son has proven that when he drinks, hes dangerous.

[RiveroftheWither]

She said all her previous relationships were people in her social circle. You seem to have misinterpreted that to mean "I only socialize with rich people at all time's" when what it actually means is "I go to a lot of the parties and functions my parents get invited too and thats just how I met my previous boyfriends.". Like the boyfriend, you were kinda letting your own bias get in the way.

I'm glad rSlash backtracked on the English degrees thing. My sister's English degree allowed her to get her current job that pays well and sent her to Comicon last year for a work trip. English degrees aren't useless. It depends on what you do with it.

[dredninja]

honestly if i found a girl i really liked and i found out she was rich as hell i would LOCK IT

[abbaspalgharwala]

Rslash you literally have a career where you read essays and earn a full time income sitting at home. I would say your English degree is helping you a lot as you have developed your reading skills to have almost 2M followers listening to you read.

[ellajennings]

As a Brit, I can confirm that an English Degree from Oxford will make you more employable than basically ANY OTHER DEGREE you can get in this country, other than degrees you literally need to have to work in the field (medical, engineering etc). The only compatible university in the UK would be Cambridge, and it would be like being accepted into an Ivy League in the US. Not only that but you can make amazing connections at these universities. Thank god that the father changed his mind.

[j-zktf]

Pretty funny how rslash says his English degrees was all reading stuff and that he just doesn't see a job that can make a living reading stuff

[BabyNazarath]

I heard the first story before and op's boyfriend is the most annoying person ever. Holy shxt
