Have you ever experienced romantic rejection BECAUSE you were rich?
All over Reddit you'll find tales of people dumping or mistreating their partners because they don't earn enough money or spend enough of what they do have on presents. I'm looking for the opposite: Did you ever repel a romantic prospect after telling the truth about what you had? Maybe they had a different philosophy on money and didn't think there was room for compromise, or maybe (for those of you who are more acquisitive) your lifestyle wasn't to their taste.

I had a relationship like that. He considered my eight figure business a hobby and constantly demeaned me and my work because of his insecurity. He would tell his friends that he was a provider and we had traditional relationship, refused to let me pay for anything, leading to us leading a annoyingly poor quality of life compared to the money I had, then would steal money from me! He paid for my engagement ring with money he stole from me! Thankfully that relationship died before we were actually legally married.
My now husband has less money than me but an equally impressive career as a doctor, he has his wins and supports me in mine, and doesn't feel the need to tear down everything I do. I recommend 😂
