I could not agree more. Couple years I went out with this guy I have been talking to for months, he was 20, i was 18 I asked him what’s the most important thing in a relationship, as a way of understanding how he views relationships. I was expecting him to say loyalty, patience, or communication, but do you know what he said, money, he said if the man has money then anything goes. I was so shocked because he was so humble and kind when when talked, he never bragged, disrespected people, and was a very good listener when I’d get emotional. Thing is he is an insanely wealthy guy with good connections to some well known celebrities (drake, Olson’s etc) thanks to his parents generational wealth so he was basically saying I can do whatever the F I want to do. We had many arguments over that statement, i accepted the fact that he will never change his opinion bc of his lifestyle circumstances. Currently we are friends and he complains to me a lot about how everyone around him only wants one thing, he’s starting to lose faith in good genuine people, I wish I could say I was feel bad but with a view of “money is the only thing that matters in relationships” he seems to be putting himself in such unfortunate situationsI have met quite a few wealthy men, unfortunately the thing they all had in common was horrible treatment of women. They were all “busy”, unavailable and narcissistic. The emiratis were the worst.
in hindsight it was abuse but I didn’t see it as that. The way they spoke of women (ex wives etc) was disturbing to say the least.
I think rudeness in wealthy men is tolerated more, because at least you can go and cry in comfort
in any case, I won’t allow anyone to treat my badly anymore. Manners, turning up when you say you will & following through are basic things.
do you think they are rude / ungrateful/ dismissive because they know it will be tolerated ?
