Hello Rick,
Thank you for your post and for sharing a very personal story.
Yes, ladies, here comes "Brutal Ben" again, as the topic is money, cash, lolly, dough, beans, nuts, ponies, you name it…!
The golden rule is: pay for your own stuff primarily! She wanted you to pay for her presents to give to other people whom you didn't even know??
Sorry, but it was foolish of you to agree to that in the first place. Paying for accommodation, travel expenses and MINOR treats (pralinés en route, snacks), maybe also tickets to concerts and events or an occasional SPECIAL treat to a restaurant are all in order, but that b.it.ch (beast) eviscerated you like a Christmas goose. And, Rick, to make things worse, you willingly agreed to be her punching ball at all times.
Here is your story downhill:
1) she pressured you to come and visit earlier than was good for you, and you agreed (although it put strain on you).
2) you totally tolerated her ignoring you (as you accepted her bulls*** that she hadn't informed anyone that she'd be away… what a scam! As if it had been your responsibility or even fault that she hadn't told anyone).
Sorry to say, but if she had tried that one on me, I would have thrown her phone into the fire.
3) you completely surrendered to emotional blackmail. Apparently she only needed to wince or squeeze her tearducts a little to play on your heartstrings. What a shambles! Next time: stay in your OWN comfort zone!
It's way better to be single than in a false relationship.
4) always know the language of the place you go to or have someone NEUTRAL around on whom you can rely. Unfortunately those gold-digging sl.ut.s ruin things for the many nice, honest and decent women.
I'm afraid that creature is using the very laptop you've pushed up her backside to gut the next guy.
I'm surprised that stories like yours still shock me, as I have heard and seen them (too) often already.
Creatures ('women') that argue about money are farts (with a CAPITAL 'T'!) and the same scum as guys who want to buy a woman.
Think wisely when you offer your undeniable generosity and great support to someone next time.
Rick, there are so many wonderful ladies in Eastern Europe and the former CIS who will surely appreciate you for the person who you are and not the bank account you have or the wallet that you carry!
Good luck and an even better portion of care and observation!
It is very easy to spot and identify a gold-digger: just look at all those who thumb down and neg posts that discuss "shared responsibilty" or smash idiot chicks who seek advice on how to "marry a millionaire" - those creatures put a price tag round their necks and would sell their grandparents' souls if it could win them a penny.
Yes, men largely provide IN A relationship. We're not cash / milk or whatever machines that can be tapped for entertainment.
"Sharing is caring" and that means taking care of EACH OTHER. You need to make sure that you come into the equation as well.
Always remember: caution is the mother of all porcellain. All the best!
