When Money Speaks Louder Than the Heart

Let me tell you a story that’ll make you rethink everything you know about relationships. My buddy Lucas is living a nightmare that seems straight out of a bad movie about love and money.

Lucas has been dating Bruna for 4 years. They were already planning marriage, kids, the whole “happily ever after” deal. But suddenly, everything changed. Bruna started obsessively talking about the expensive gifts her friends were getting from their boyfriends. One day, she even mentioned a friend who got a Tesla. A fucking Tesla, people!

I asked Lucas, “So, how did you react to that?”

He told me he was bothered by this sudden fixation on material things and decided to confront her. He asked if she expected him to earn more money and if she would date another guy who was richer. Her response? “I’d have to consider it.”

Damn, I was speechless. What do you mean, “have to consider it”? Four years of relationship and she drops this bomb? Lucas said he thought it was a joke at first, but it wasn’t. Bruna was dead serious.

“And what did she say when you asked for an explanation?” I questioned.

Lucas told me Bruna justified herself by saying she was being realistic, that everyone would consider it in the same situation…
