This Girlfriend Who Charges Her Boyfriend $50 Every Time He Comes Home Late Is A Ruthless Dictator
NYP- A woman on Reddit says that she’s tired of her boyfriend’s partying ways and is charging him $50 every time he comes home past 4 a.m. On Sunday, an unidentified woman created a Reddit post stating that she’s been with her boyfriend for two years. The first half of their relationship, she had a drinking problem and would stay out late past 3 a.m. and she would “irresponsibly allow [her] phone to die.” “He told me it was unacceptable,” the woman, whose Reddit name is “alwaysonthedamnphone,” wrote in the post. “Eventually, it seemed like such a big deal to my boyfriend that I just sucked it up, stopped staying out late, and stopped drinking.” But now that she’s gotten sober, she claims that her partner recently found a new set of drinking buddies and frequently stays out past 3 a.m. “I thought I should just calmly explain to him why I disagree with his actions. But, after almost a year, he still does it,” she said. “So, tonight when he left at midnight, I made a proposition. If either one us aren’t home 4am, we have to give the other $50 and no one can be angry.”
Not to go all Dr. Phil on you here but I have a solution for this couple, they should break up. Read the two parts that I highlighted in bold above. The first part talks about how the girlfriend was the drunk partier for the first half of their relationship then she cleaned up her act but now the boyfriend is the drunk partier in the relationship. So what all that tells me is they need to break up ASAP and never speak to one another ever again. Sometimes that’s just how it goes. When one person looks at the landscape of the relationship and thinks, “I’m gonna start charging this son of a bitch $50 every time he stumbles in drunk at 4am” then you gotta walk away.
I’m not saying that asking your significant other to get home before 4am and not be stinking drunk is an outlandish request but I am saying it’s outrageous for a relationship to get to that point. Lemme hit you with something you’ve likely never heard before: there’s a lot of fish in the sea. There’s so many. Around 3.5 billion to be exact (or 7 billion if you’re bisexual). Trade that piece of shit boyfriend/girlfriend in for a hopefully-less awful model. If that one sucks too, trade it in. Don’t settle for something bad just because every person on your Facebook feed did that. Keep shuffling the deck until you get a mostly-not terrible match. It might happen right away or it might take a couple decades. Who cares. You deserve to be happy.
